The U.S. Based VOA TV journalist “Arash Sigarchi” in the picture
TV news is timely as opposed to print news writing that relates a bigger story, putting facts and information into context. In other words, a 6 p.m. newscast must sound fresh and “of the moment.” You need to bring the viewer into the news piece as it’s unfolding. For example, let’s look at a mayor’s news conference that you covered at 2 p.m. that afternoon to appear on the nightly news. You might want to write, “Mayor Johnson held a news conference earlier today.”
