Broadcast journalism it"s a process: have writer, editor, editor in chief, reporters, anchors, director, technical director, producer (only one to talk to anchors), audio person, computer person, floor director (doesn"t speak) Producer in charge once show starts: very fast paced. Write in all caps to be easy to read on teleprompter: may need to write phonetically so anchor can say it title, timing and directions on left, words to say on right. Super short: can you say it in a breathe? it"s all about time few numbers, spell them out when you have them. No direct quotes, get the person to say it. Editorialising-mostly for anchors , make sure you don"t smirk or shake head: have to say when it"s opinion. Anchor pic (show anchor and pic of story) Soej/pkg stuff ready to go, it"s already produced. Segments- treated like sections of the paper, have around 22 minutes. 5th sports (maybe later news spots only)
