Profession Screenwriting is a freelance profession. No education is required to be a professional scree ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

News Magazine
A news magazine is a typed, printed, and published magazine, radio or television program, usually published weekly, consisting of articles about current events. News magazines generally discuss stories, in greater depth than do newspapers or newscasts, and aim to give the consumer an understanding of the important events beyond the basic facts. Broadcast news magazines Radio news magazines are similar to television news magazines.

These broadcasts serve as an alternative in covering certain issues more in depth than regular newscasts. The formula, first established by ''Panorama (TV series), Panorama'' on the BBC in 1953 has proved successful around the world. Televi ...
