What’s More

Remember the following:

   the news of the day. You may put spotlight on some news that are
   not the freshest, it they are intriguing: closing story (tail ender), if
   it is humorous.


2. Choose which news to highlight and refrain from simply listing
   single news item.


3. The headlines last a variable amount of time depending on the
   bulletin. In a five-minute broadcast, it should not be more than 15
   seconds.


4. Choose and write headlines well. You can put a jingle before the
   headlines and a stab after them. Can be with stingers and bumper
   to create rhythm and intensity.


5. Make sure the anchor’s voice can be perfectly heard and
   understood.
