Why is broadcast writing different?
17
![Page 18: UNIT 2: WRITING FOR BROADCAST MEDIA 1. For the broadcast media news writing, it is focus on:- 1. radio news 2. TV news 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022082713/5697bfc11a28abf838ca4498/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Broadcast news and print news are different because of
their intended audience.
Broadcast news must be written differently because Broadcast news is meant to be heard, not read. Unlike print, which lasts forever, once words are
spoken on a broadcast they are gone. Broadcast news is meant for quick, up-to-the-date
information, not detailed stories. People are often doing other activities while
watching or listening to broadcast news

But Both broadcast journalism and print journalism…
require background research. emphasize similar news elements. require good writers and spellers to be
effective
