"I highly recommend the information packed and valuable book Power Performance: Multimedia Storytelling for Journalism and Public Relations by Tony Silvia and Terry Anzur, to any journalists, bloggers, public relations practitioners, and business people who are seeking a hands on guide to telling story in a multimedia world. This book will transform your message from a weak and ineffective one, to an authentic and compelling story that is understood readily by the audience." (Blog Business World, 24 September 2011) <p> </p>

<b>Tony Silvia</b> is Professor of Journalism and Media Studies at the University of South Florida St Petersburg. He has worked as a consumer reporter, news anchor and producer, having been nominated for three Emmy Awards. He is the winner of an Associated Press Award. His publications include <i>Global News: Perspectives on the Information Age</i> (Wiley-Blackwell, 2001). <p><b>Terry Anzur</b> is a multimedia journalism educator, international media consultant and multimedia talent coach. In addition to her award-winning TV news reporting and anchoring, she is a freelance journalist in radio, print and online media.</p>

With television news anchors becoming daily celebrity guests in our homes and traditional news media turning increasingly to multimedia enhancements, there is a growing need for journalists and public relations practitioners to develop essential presentation skills.<br /> <br /> <p>This is the first book available for professionals and students interested primarily in transmitting news and information on-camera in multi-media formats, rather than working behind the scenes. Writing, reporting, and producing skills are examined specifically in terms of their application to effective communication with the viewing audience of both traditional and new media.</p> <p> A guide to storytelling skills for journalism and public relations in multiple media platforms, including print, broadcast, and the web, this book offers invaluable behind-the-scenes insights and profiles of leading multimedia journalists and public relations practitioners. Practical advice is offered on how to put presentation skills to work and the key ethical issues are addressed.</p> <p>This book will appeal to working professionals seeking to enhance their skills, students, citizen journalists and anyone interested in breaking in to on-camera journalism and public relations.</p>

"A  clear, thoughtful, tip-filled tour of the unfolding world of multimedia news.  Working pros help the authors guide students toward success in these challenging new forms of storytelling."<br /> - <i>Jim Upshaw, University of Oregon</i><br /> <br /> <p>“This book is a valuable resource for students and professionals alike. Engagingly written, it combines clear instruction with an impressive synthesis of research and historical context on this multi-faceted topic.”<br /> - <i>Lee Hood, Loyola University Chicago</i></p>
