| Summary |
"Writing for Broadcast News makes the storytelling elements of a broadcast news story - whether for radio or TV - immediately accessible and understandable to beginning broadcast writers and journalism students. Its step-by-step approach defines the parts necessary to structuring a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end by establishing a definite framework into which the anchor lead, the reporter narrative, and the actualities - or sound bites - fit to form a seamless, compelling whole. Starting with the idea that people are most interested in people, no matter what the issue, this book emphasizes the human element and shows how to put a face on the story at the earliest possible moment. It uses case histories of news reports to allow beginners to more easily learn the journalistic process - and how to maintain its integrity - and also features quizzes, exercises based on actual news stories, and critical evaluation checklists |
