Professor Chris Swindell came to Journalism 201 on Tuesday to inform the students about Broadcast Writing. Mr. Swindell says, "You have to know how to write Broadcast News in order to write Print News." His reasons is because Broadcast News is written through the way we speak. If it does not sound good through the ear then it's not good.
He gave the JMC students an assignment so they could practice Broadcast News writing.
My example is below:
