The world's weather is changing and the media needs to keep up. Flickr/Shannon Dizmang, CC BYWhen he founded the blog CapitalWeather.com 15 years ago in Washington DC, Jason Samenow was working for the US government as a climate change analyst.

This month, in the latest round of job losses the ABC announced a further twenty journalists would be dropped from newsgathering teams.So what happens when journalists are made redundant?

In this example-based lecture we identify the components of TV news stories, how they are written for broadcast, and then repurposed for the web.

Broadcast writing differs greatly from its counterpart in print media. The main principle behind broadcast writing is simple: keep it short and to the point. Scripts must be clear, concise, accurate and elegant. Avoid inaccuracies, confusing usage and newspaper-style journalese for the airwaves. This week, we’ll look at the principles of broadcast writing. What are the main dos and don’ts? How we ensure that stories are as attention-grabbing as possible without resorting to crude sensationalism? And what's the significance of the rise of 'snack culture' when it comes to the traditional audiences for news and current affairs?

When it comes to mobilising a mass audience, nothing can beat television news. Australians on average watch over three hours of television every night, and studies in the USA indicate that TV news is still the dominant source of news for Americans. The average television news story is one minute and 20 seconds long, allowing the news reporter to offer multiple perspectives on an issue. But does this always happen? How do you prepare for a TV story? This week, we’ll take a look at the basics of structuring television news stories. Copyright 2010 Lawrie Zion / La Trobe University, all rights reserved.

This course is about words – words that are usually spoken aloud, and received to the brain via the ear rather than the eye. In any medium, it is impossible to be a good journalist without being a very good writer. In journalism, a firm footing in certain standards is needed. Broadcast journalism is a mere 100 years old. Today there is no simple division between the broadcast media and print. We'll look at a 2009 Triple J advertisement for cross media journalists and a current ad for a 'content maker'. What do these ads tell about what's happening in the media? Copyright 2010 Lawrie Zion / La Trobe University, all rights reserved. Contact for permissions.
