GRAMMAR OF TV NEWS
TV News has developed its own linguistic conventions;
• The use of present tense creates a sense of urgency;
• Future tense is common as prediction is an expected aspect of TV
news
• Active voice makes the story more dramatic
• The hook, or what the journalists consider the most newsworthy
item, is placed early in the lead (the first sentence in the news story)
• Verbs are chosen for their sense of urgency and their strong action
• Audiences are ‘teed up’ for the name of a person being quoted; the
name is given before the quote;
• Stories must be concise; one sentence should equal one idea.
