Chapter Five

This chapter is all about creating good reporting through broadcasting or internet.  Going from print to broadcasting calls for a few new dimensions that must be considered.  In essence, pictures tell the story on television and sounds tell the story on radio.  Your main goal in writing for broadcasting is to let the pictures and sounds do the work.  No flowery writing.  Don't use whole sentences when one word will work.  Make sure to be clever with puns and play on words.  There are only a few internet only news sites but that will be the next medium of news.  (that's my plan, to make my own internet news site to apply to teens.  2 birds with one stone, make a great site and teens are ACTUALLY informed about the news).
