  1. Broadcast Journalism Is Your Favorite Class

  2. Let’s Talk about the Quiz • Those of you who read did very well. • Those of you who did not will read next time. • If you read and did not do well, please talk to one of us . • Remember, those who participate in reading discussions on the Facebook page can receive extra credit points.

  3. The Tease • Tease can be defined as “a short item designed to attract listeners to a story later on in the newscast.” • For example: “Which MHS sports team made it to the state championship? Find out when we return!” • Or: “Great news for math enthusiasts. We’ll add more info to that equation later in the show!” (That’s terrible).

  4. Practice Remember: The essence of good tease writing is to offer highlights of the story without giving away the details! • Rewrite the following situations into teases: • Anthony Luchs was crowned Mr. Massapequa last night. His talent: juggling cafeteria cookies. • The MHS girls swim team needs one more win to make it to the state championship. • Students of Broadcast Journalism staged a walkout last Thursday after receiving a difficult quiz with a near-impossible Harry Potter bonus question. • MHS teacher, PeetaMellark, was arrested this morning. He was foundthrowing all of the cafeteria’sbread into the oven and burning it.

  5. The Toss • Toss can be defined as “a short item designed to make the transition from one newscaster to another.” • Bad Tosses: • Ad lib toss: anchors make up the toss on the spot. Not a good idea. • Name toss: just the name with no story. Not exciting. • Toss to personality with generic topic: “Now here’s reporter Billy Hanley with a story on textbooks.” Doesn’t work. • Good Tosses: • Toss to the story: “It’s not often that we see cookies being juggled in the halls of MHS. Reporter Brittany Perry has that story. Brittany?” • Split-story toss: First anchor starts the story; second anchor picks it up.

  6. Organizing News • First Third • Breaking news, top stories, crime stories, harder news, tragedy, important stories • Middle • “Backgrounders,” not timely, major investigations, hard science, education • Bottom Third • Upbeat and feature stories, lighter stories, “kickers,” “zingers”
