You are to turn in two typed radio news stories. One must be a reader story and one must be a wrap. Each story is worth 25 points. You are to find one
newspaper article from a recent issue of the Tropolitan, the Troy Messenger, the Montgomery Advertiser, or the Dothan Eagle (anywhere but a national
publication) and re-write it into a reader and a wrap for a radio broadcast.
Upload your assignment here as either a Word document or a PDF, or use the text entry box. Your news stories must be double-spaced and typed in all capital
letters.
You must include the link to the story that you used for this assignment. The story must be completely rewritten, as you are just using it as a source of the
information. If there is evidence of plagiarism, you will get a zero.
You must write your stories in proper radio style, as referenced in your e-book. Put the title at the top of each story (example: Restaurant Fire.) Your lead
sentences must be written in present, present-perfect, or future tense. Points will automatically be counted off for writing your lead sentences in past
tense. In addition, your story must answer the Who, What, When, Where, Why questions. You must write a line introducing the the actuality and have a tag in
your story after the actuality (tag: a line or two wrapping the story up). Before the actuality, do not write, “Had this to say.” Also, guesstimate how long
the actuality would be time wise (how long the entire quote is) and include that time and the outcue (the last few words of the actuality)
