Really nice information about the topic.
I've learn a lot but the chapters aren't noted and the tone is too much the same all along. I would do it less in the reading style and more about the conference style as we don't see images

A very thorough look at making documentaries
The author packs a lot of wisdom into this book. Some parts, about broadcast and cable television, and trends in reality TV, age prematurely. Couple this book with updates from today's media landscape, and you've got a solid overview. The narration performance is solid, though entirely devoid of personality.
