Newscast Televisionnews consists of several different elements, introduced by a news presenter or presenters. The presenters read 'links' and do interviews. Most news stories come in the form of short 'packages'. These are pre-recorded reports usually lasting from three to five minutes. News reporters gather and edit together interview clips, pictures and their own 'pieces to camera' to tell a story. They script and record a 'voice-over' to explain the pictures and link the elements together. Live Reporting. Some stories are done as live reports. This can be a reporter on the scene of a story either being interviewed by a studio presenter (sometimes known as a 'two-way'), a reporter interviewing one or more other people, or simply live pictures and sound of an event. With the growth of "rolling news" channels the use of live material has increased enormously and TV reporters are now often judged as much on their ability to perform live in front of a camera as on their package-making or writing skills. Podcast A podcast combines the terms iPod and broadcast into a single catchy word. As the name suggests, podcasts are audio and video broadcasts that can be played on an iPod. News organizations such as NPR and CNN offer podcasts of their news stories, as do many other broadcasting companies. If you choose this option, you will need to tell me, and then set up a recording appt. with Ms. Pappas 24 hours in advance. You will be given time during class to record your podcast.
