5. 2 KINDS OF NEWS
REPORTING

6. 1st: RADIO Broadcasting
Radio broadcasting is transmission by
radio waves intended to reach a wide audience.
Stations can be linked in radio networks to
broadcast a common radio format, either in
broadcast syndication or simulcast or both.
Alternatives to terrestrial radio broadcasting
include cable radio, local wire television
networks, satellite radio, and internet radio via
streaming media on the Internet. The signal
types can be either analog audio or digital
audio.

8. TYPES OF RADIO
BROADCASTING
AM
AM stations were the earliest broadcasting
stations to be developed. AM refers to amplitude
modulation, a mode of broadcasting radio waves by
varying the amplitude of the carrier signal in response
to the amplitude of the signal to be transmitted. The
medium-wave band is used worldwide for AM
broadcasting. Europe also uses the long wave band.
In response to the growing popularity of FM stereo
radio stations in the late 1980s and early 1990s, some
North American stations began broadcasting in AM
stereo, though this never gained popularity, and very
few receivers were ever sold.

9. TYPES OF RADIO
BROADCASTING
FM
FM refers to frequency modulation, and
occurs on VHF airwaves in the frequency
range of 88 to 108 MHz everywhere except
Japan and Russia. Russia, like the former
Soviet Union, uses 65.9 to 74 MHz
frequencies in addition to the world
standard. Japan uses the 76 to 90 MHz
frequency band.

satellite television, in which the television signal is
transmitted to the receiver from an overhead satellite, and

receiver through a cable. It has the duty same as to radio
broadcasting to transmit information to the listeners

• Provide phonetic spelling
• Speech has rhythm and should be kept in
mind when writing a radio script
• A radio script should display an element
of “nowness”
• Key repetitive statements help the listener
to get the message

22. GUIDELINES WHEN WRITING A BROADCAST
SCRIPT: Radio and TV Broadcasting
• Read your story out loud. Even if you read it softly, read as if you
were saying the story on air. See if it would make sense to someone
hearing it for the first time.
• Avoid jargon. Police use such phrases as "fled on foot" or
"lacerations," but you don't have to include jargon in your script. A
story should sound as though you were speaking to someone in
conversation. You honor journalism's standards of clarity when you
translate jargon into simple, everyday language.
• Use active voice. Think "who did what?" to create active, strong
sentences. Scripts written in passive voice can be less interesting to
your audience, they are awkward to read, and they tend to be
longer.
• Write to your video. Video enriches the story your viewers see.
Use it to put your audience at the scene and then use the script to
explain what they are not seeing.
• Hook your audience. When you're writing a tease or a lead, ask:
Will this make people want to stay around for this story? Does it give
too much of the story away?
