Industry Reviews

We use this book primarily as a "how to" guide that will help students through the various stages of creating digital content...The information offered in Part A is still hugely relevant. Part B requires some updating to take account of the latest technological advances... Part C is probably the most dated section and it is here that I would like to see a general updating of all the examples...The book is the best digital storytelling guide on the market. - Allan Boughey, Edinburgh Napier University, UK

The accompanying website is a brilliant way of being able to constantly update the book - I think all practical journalism textbooks should have this format!...Andy Bull writes with authority but in a highly accessible style, which is something that not all authors manage to achieve!... Is there a way that libraries can purchase a book with a number of website log-ins that only last for as long as the student is on the course and can then be transferred to another new student? - Angela Birchall, University of Salford, UK

I wanted less on how to be a journalist (although, this is great stuff and I use it in my Journalism 200: Media Writing course) and more about the technical standards, details, and concepts specific to multimedia journalism. - Jaclyn Cameron, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA

Stronger element of branding and entrepreneurial journalism in #18... I picked Multimedia Journalism because it is the best I've seen for multimedia journalism, and all journalism is "multimedia" now. - Rebecca Johnson, Marshall University, USA

This book crammed a lot in and I picked the book for this and the fact that the online content was updated and much more interactive... Making that [online] registration easier and expanding it would be helpful... I liked the visual layout and easy flow of the Bull book. - Rocky Dailey, South Dakota State University, USA

I think chapter 2 "creating a publishing platform" can be expanded further bacuse we need to find some web server like wordpress or wix to ask student to put their content there... this book is very comprehensive. - MA Wang Wai, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
