"Hi, I'm Laura from YoungWritersWorkshops.com and I would like to talk about how to write radio news scripts. Now, as you've probably noticed, the news on the radio is a lot more audio focused and a lot less a visual focus than other news. Writing a radio news story means that you have to you use the audio medium to a larger degree. So, when you're writing a news story, you want to think of a song clip that can help to draw interest to your story and illustrate what the story's about. If you're interviewing a train conductor, some audio of the train will be really helpful in making your story engaging. At the same time, you want to keep your radio news story very concise, use short sentences and sentences with just one piece of information. That will allow your reader to absorb it without dragging on too long, possibly losing the readers attention and, thus, defeating the purpose of your news story. You want to keep your radio news story to about thirty seconds, if possible. Longer news pieces are possible in some mediums but if it's a radio news hourly update, this story should be about thirty seconds long. Just to sum up, some things to remember when writing a radio news story is to keep your sentences short, use the a sound that can help engage the listener and keep it short, keep it about thirty seconds long."
