2. Things to remember Always put the important information first. Answer who, what, where, when, how and who cares. Be open for ideas. Always keep your ears open for something to use. When correcting the script after the practice session, write to the video. Keep your sentences and paragraphs short.

3. More things to remember The first paragraph of the script should have enough information to give a basic overview of the whole story. Don’t use too much heavily descriptive words. When you’ve finished, go through the whole thing and remove and correct the script. Ask how long the report will be, because you don’t want a 45 minute report on a 30 minute shows that need more reports. Make the script about 15 minutes.

4. Simplified Steps Assemble all the facts Understand the grammar and words commonly used in news stories Organize the rest of your script by providing the background of the story and what is happening to change the scene. Consider how the story will sound ‘On Air’
