News Story Outline

What does a news story include? 

  • Acknowledgement and/or Introduction of yourself.  "Thanks Bill.  Today a person broke into..."  "This is Linda with a closer look at..."
  • Introduction to the story you are covering.  You can include history, background of the situation, an introduction of the person you are talking to, etc.  
  • Include an interview.  
  • Include any images or video that will create interest and support your story.  
  • Wrap up.  Summarize your story.  Talk about what people should expect to see in the future.  
  • Send it back to the News Anchor  
As you write your script keep these components in mind and write what you will say during each segment.
