Radio news stories
Can you help me understand this Academic question?
You are to turn in two typed radio news stories. One must be a reader story and one must be a wrap. Each story is worth 25 points. You are to find two separate newspaper articles from a current issue of the Tropolitan, the Troy Messenger, the Montgomery Advertiser, or the Dothan Eagle, and re-write those for broadcast.
Upload your assignment here as either a Word document or a PDF. Your news stories must be double-spaced and typed in all capital letters.
You must write your stories in proper radio style, as we have discussed in this class. Put the title at the top of each story (example: Restaurant Fire.) Your lead sentences must be written in present, present-perfect, or future tense. Points will automatically be counted off for writing your lead sentences in past tense. In addition, your story must answer the Who, What, When, Where, Why questions. You must introduce the quote before the actuality and have a tag in your story after the actuality. Do not write, Had this to say. For example:
