Biography
Teresa Keller has spent time in television newsrooms in Denver, San Diego, and Bristol, VA and worked as a contributing reporter for WVTF public radio in Roanoke, VA. As a professor of Mass Communications at Emory & Henry College, she garnered two statewide teaching awards: the 2003 Virginia Professor of the Year award, presented by the Carnegie Foundation, and the Virginia Council on Higher Education’s Outstanding Faculty Award in 2010. She led the radio station at Emory & Henry College, WEHC-FM, for 25 years. She served as a board member of Holston Valley Broadcasting Corporation for more than a decade and spent two terms on the Board of Directors of the Virginia Association of Broadcasters.
"The long-awaited fourth edition of the Keller book on television news delivers us both professional and conceptual knowledge of how to gather news, write visual stories, create compelling videography, and produce packages for television and other visual media. The updated edition is an excellent choice for aspiring broadcast journalists both as an introductory and intermediate-level textbook. Keller’s new edition also provides readers with timely updates on changing news environment and inspires them to reconceptualize and refine their visual storytelling techniques. I have used Keller’s Television News for several years, and now I am excited to continue to adopt this new edition as a required literature for my TV newsgathering course."
