Satellite Newsgathering, First Edition
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Satellite Newsgathering will become the Reference for anyone interested in SNG... It is a wonderful source of information and has the merit of going straight to the subject, being technically precise although very easy to understand. There are numerous pictures, photographs, diagrams, which make the reading a real pleasure.'
European Broadcasting Union Technical Review
'A most impressive book'
Sir Arthur C Clarke
'The complexity of a satellite newsgathering system could be a four-month long college course with a high tuition rate and an enrolment number so large you have to watch your professor on a TV screen. Jonathan Higgins might have saved the independent learner a few attendance point deductions by fitting it into one book.'

'It is a wonderful source of information, technically precise although very easy to understand.'
EBU Techncial Review
‘This book is nothing if not comprehensive. Ranging from a history of news communications through to the theory of satellite TV, operational systems and developments for the future...It is just as much about methodology and techniques; about organisation as well as operation. Written in a straightforward style Â- making this wide range of hard-to-digest- information remarkably palatableÂ… thereÂ's nowhere else youÂ'll find such an authoritative and exhaustive behind-the-scenes look at this fascinating world.Â'

--Satellite Broadband magazine
An ideal introduction for anyone working, or interested, in satellite newsgathering (SNG). This book is an important and valuable work that is extremely easy to read, comprehensive in its treatment, and detailed where necessary. SNG used to be an immensely complex and expensive affair where broadcasting organizations were at the mercy of an expert who sat in a lonely corner, until needed. Things have changed--everyone in a global news organization needs to know about it now. This is not only because of the high costs of mistakes, but because now even non-technical journalists on the ground have to operate their own equipment. Learn the skills, basics of the equipment, cutting edge technology and critical safety issues of satellite newsgathering.
* An informative guide for engineers and technicians, as well as journalists and editorial management working, or interested, in satellite newsgathering
* Practical and theoretical insights into the technology and its application provide a complete overview
* Discover how to overcome probelms when operating SNG systems worldwide
