Broadcast vs Print
First we discussed the contrast between the broadcast and
print. Everyone had fascinating stories. Washington Post, NBC News, ABC News…
- Focus
- Broadcast- Draws viewers in with action(s), compelling
- Print- boring, gives facts, informative
- Language/Tone
- Broadcast- Live, now, immediate, present tense, dramatic
- Print- More bland, has more information, formal, detailed, past tense
- Shock Value
- Broadcast- Wants viewers to care about issues and uses images/language
- Print- Does not use the shock value as much because it is in the print
- Images
- Broadcast- Images through photographs and film
- Print- Show, don’t tell through words, describe what happens, one picture/map
- Headline
- Broadcast- Captivating, attention grabbing
- Print- more detailed, creates a bigger image,
Rules for Broadcast
- Write in present tense
- Attribution can be in 2nd or 3rd graf
- Freedom of creativity in lead
- Quotes- attribution comes FIRST
Worksheet/Broadcast Activity- Leads

Have a great week!
