From low humor to high drama, TV weather reporting has encompassed an
enormous range of styles and approaches, triggering chuckles,
infuriating the masses, and at times even saving lives. In Weather on
the Air, meteorologist and science journalist Robert Henson covers it
all—the people, technology, science, and show business that combine
to deliver the weather to the public each day. Featuring the long-term
drive to professionalize weathercasting; the complex relations between
government and private forecasters; and the effects of climate-change
science and the Internet on today’s broadcasts. With dozens of
photos and anecdotes illuminating the many forces that have shaped
weather broadcasts over the years, this engaging study will be an
invaluable tool for students of broadcast meteorology and mass
communication and an entertaining read for anyone fascinated by the
public face of weather.
