How to write a Radio Script

Now we have reached the stage to finally write our radio script for our news broadcast. Therefore to find ideas and tips, I visited various websites and listened to different radio casts to find out how to write and present a radio news cast.
Here is a video clip I found very interesting about how to write a radio news script.



So far the things I've learnt from my radio script search are:

  • Greet the audience and welcome them to the radio show.
  • Think about the actions that are being put in the stage directions. Remember the audience can't see what is going on in the studio.
  • Use sound in the background and how it will engage the listeners.
  • Remember the include the five Ws' (Who, What, When, Where, Why) in your news dialogue.
  • Don't repeat the same points 
  • Don't be biased! you must have two sides.
  • Be Clear, Consise and Correct with your information
  • Keep the news cast around 30 seconds long.
  • Must have simple and short language to not bore the listener and make it easier for them to understand.
