As a beginner, one must first understand the evolution of television news reporting and the advantages of the television medium. Next, one should learn the common principles of news reporting and the basic rules of news interviewing and writing.

This book is divided into fourteen chapters, with chapters one to eight covering television news interviewing, and chapters nine to fourteen covering television news writing. The best way to learn television news interviewing and writing is to go out and interview; to take up the pen and write. Dan Rather, a renowned American news anchor, believes that the best way to learn reporting is to go out and report news, and the best way to learn writing is to write. There is nothing particularly novel or profound about this. However, relying solely on practical exploration may lead to slower learning progress and potential detours.
