Document Summary
Chapter 1 notes: characteristics of broadcast news writing. Writing for the ear, needs to be clear, concise and able to be read out loud. End of longer broadcasts include a summary or leave the viewers something to think about. Do not use if you want to place emphasis on something. Use ones that flow off the tongue. Don"t use ones that sound like plurals. Active voice is the choice of the broadcasters. But you rarely go wrong when you use it. Broadcast writers use present of future tense when appropriate. We write broadcast stories in today language. How to deal with dates and times of the week. Use the words yesterday and tomorrow if the event in question is only one day in the past or one day in the future. If it"s more than one day distant give the day of the week.
