Media and Educational professionals recommend "Shoot First: Code of The News Cameraman" as reading material for any future Journalist looking to enter the field of news gathering. This book is a great resource with a behind-the-scenes look at the working relationships, conditions and demands of reporters, cameramen and camerawomen, before today's technology changed so many aspects of the mechanics of their careers. Still the human element remains the same.
Hank Schoepp, author, shares his stories behind the stories during his career that spanned nearly 30 years in the San Francisco Bay Area (1968-1997), a significant period in television news history. Schoepp's memoir includes some of the biggest headlines of this era, including: tear gas attacks during student protests and rioting at U.C. Berkeley; the kidnapping saga of Patricia Hearst; the search for a vanishing school bus, driver and 26 children in Chowchilla, California; the aftermath of a mass suicide of over 900 people in Jonestown, Guyana; and rushing to the city hall murder scene of a San Francisco mayor and supervisor.
