More about this book

As the author of Tune In to A Television Career, I'll quote "Book List" (April 1, 1984) "Above average in terms of its readability, Hollingsworth's vocational guide introduces a wide variety of jobs in the television industry--from less familiar occupations such as television teachers... to high visibility/high pay positions such as network newsanchors. Educational rquirements are presented in fairly general terms..., but Hollingsworth offers crisip, realistic informative job profiiles that provide a competent overall knowledge of what the work involves without overglamorizing or smotheriong readers in dry detail. She concludes with a forecast of the medium's future. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, and a glossary and an index are appended.Gr 7-10" Copyright: T.Hollingsworth

Talk about: How does the book distinguish training that is desirable from training that is required?

Why It May Be Worth Reading

It offers a starting point for exploring television work, while framing training as something that may be desirable or required rather than giving one universal route.

What Deserves Attention

A Conversation Worth Having

Reading Approach

Use it as a springboard for career exploration: note unfamiliar job titles, then compare any training advice that interests you with current information.

Confidence & Basis

Theme indicators describe how the book presents a topic; they are not a verdict on the whole book or your family's values. Confidence reflects how much book-specific material was checked. Only part of the book information was available, so some details remain unconfirmed.

What remains unconfirmed

Television careers and training: The range of jobs and specific training advice are not detailed here, so the balance and currency of its guidance remain unclear.
