Dissecting TV News

from Broadcast Journalism · host Dr Lawrie Zion

When it comes to mobilising a mass audience, nothing can beat television news. Australians on average watch over three hours of television every night, and studies in the USA indicate that TV news is still the dominant source of news for Americans. The average television news story is one minute and 20 seconds long, allowing the news reporter to offer multiple perspectives on an issue. But does this always happen? How do you prepare for a TV story? This week, we’ll take a look at the basics of structuring television news stories. Copyright 2010 Lawrie Zion / La Trobe University, all rights reserved.
