Review: "Roll! gives you a look through the viewfinders of the very best television photojournalists and shows you how they do their work. As 19 experts weigh in with their candid, personal stories and photographic tips, it's as if you're looking over their shoulders, following their intuitions, and hearing their thoughts as they shoot. The trade term for what they do is called ENG (electronic news gathering) and whether they're called cameramen, backpack journalists, television photographers, or any other moniker de jour, they're all paid to bring the world's events into living rooms around the globe. These are the men and women who capture the bleeding edge of history - as it happens."--BOOK JACKET.
