Although this reading clearly laid out a formula for packaging broadcast pieces, I am unsure how all stories can fit into three or four main points. I wish the main example had not been a very simple story about common sense nutrition. How do stories with multiple figures and issues fit into this blueprint?
While planning a story ahead of time is never a bad idea, journalists should always be ready to drop the "planned" for actual news. Reading this chapter, I was reminded of all the campy local news packages I've reluctantly consumed over the years. I realize there is a formula to clear communication, but this chapter leaves little room for the storytelling that constitutes good journalism.
