And yet, families almost universally place a higher value on the Intangibles: their guiding principles and beliefs, family traditions - their Wisdom.

Making It in the Media is clear, concise and
had a lot of variety. In our business, getting to
the point is KEY and she did that with excerpts from
seasoned and green anchors, reporters, etc. I've
been in the business about three years and I could
even use much of the advice in the book. It was absolutely
wonderful and I'd love to pass it on to as many
people as possible! Plus, the cover and the way the
whole book was laid out was easy to read and quickly
move from page to page.
– Stephanie Goetz, Anchor/Reporter

This engaging and entertaining book takes a
humorous, but detailed, look at one of the things we all take
for granted every day: the Weather Forecast. The easy-to-understand
book with glossary takes you behind the scenes and reveals

to the Internet. After all, the #1 reason people watch a local
TV newscast is for the weather, and one of the top five websites
in the world is built for weather data!

A wonderful book for anyone interested in weather and forecasting,

that's a stereotype that's dying. " How to Find a Good
Weather Forecast" is a guide to the world of weather
predictions. Explaining meteorology, the careers behind it,
how a weather forecast is produced, and the titular concept
of finding a solid and reliably accurate weather forecast.
" How to Find a Good Weather Forecast" is informative
and educational, and accomplishes more than it sets out to
do.
