Course Overview
Journalists covering broadcast news scripting are working to a deadline you do not control. Credibility in the practice within communications and media practice is spent quickly and rebuilt slowly. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this area of communications and media practice and the judgement to adapt it. Comparative studies of broadcast news scripting across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this aspect of communications and media practice, not for observers of it. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this strand of communications and media practice in their own setting. Participants finish able to explain broadcast news scripting to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Improvement in this area of communications and media practice stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this aspect of communications and media practice survives a hostile question.
