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. - Choose which news to highlight and refrain from simply listing
single news item. - 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. - 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. - Make sure the anchor’s voice can be perfectly heard and
understood.
