When starting in the news industry, author Christopher Michael McHugh scoured every resource available while looking for day-in-the life, conversational instructions on how to create content simultaneously for TV and the online world.

Christopher Michael McHugh has navigated the bare-knuckle world of network and local news, producing content for media companies in New York such as Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network and the Aol-Huffington Post Media Group's Patch.com. His years of experience, in both the TV and the online world, have been boiled down to a minute-by-minute account of what someone needs to know to hit the ground running at their first job, as well as position themselves for the transformation of the news industry.
