For the headline teases I included the three biggest stories of our newscasts that were made into wraps. I included the Onondaga County Budget because for the locals it should intrigue them to want to know about the budget and wonder if anything that they desired was passed or denied. The Crime victim walk was big because it was a relevant event happening today and a lot of information could be found about it and many people to talk to that were exicted for such an event for such a great cause. Finally, I had Plan B in the headline teaser because it was a wrap that Dan was able to do on a school being renovated and what it meant to those students and other students of other schools. All of the stories were local, but reached to all different types of people and definitely made them want to stay tuned to hear more.
News Stories:
A2. The Onondaga Budget led off my newscast because it was the most important in where the money of the citizens is going and how this affects the most people in what ways. Things could have been cut or added to the budget and this is important for citizens to know. We had great audio from County Legislator Casey Jordan.
A3. This next story was a reader on the Democrats being dissatisfied with Republican candidate Carl Paladino's apology after he had homosexual remarks. This was put in this position following a story to do with business and politics and fit well. A little more statewide, but still regional.
A4- The Plan B Story was a live wrap done by Dan about an elementary school called Dr. Weeks Elementary going through renovations this upcoming year. This story was important because not only does it affect the children and parents of the Dr. Weeks students, but also other students of the other elementary schools that the Dr. Weeks students will temporarily attend while their school is renovated. I stayed local with this story and went from politics to education smoothly.
A5- This next story is about the Child Abuse Walk held today and was an anchor actuality. It was a strong piece and had great audio from executive director of the site. I placed this here after education because they both have to do with the youth and it maintained its relevance.
A6- This next anchor actuality was a big national story about some of the Chilean miners finally being rescued. This was a big deal because people have been concerned about the miners being gone for 70 days and now they are being rescued. This followed the Child Abuse Walk as an uplifting story about how after struggle comes triumph.
A7- The next reader was a great reader to end the first news segment about ballots of military personnel and making sure they are counted. It had to do with politics, but has the international flavor that the last Chilean piece incorporated.
A8- As the teaser I threw in about Michael Jackson and the weather. Everyone enjoys something about Michael and the weather is a must.
B1- The Michael Jackson piece was lighthearted story about Michael Jackson coming out with another album rereleased. It was along the entertainment track, but once a musician is dead popularity heightens as well.
B2- The weather was covered today and tonight and the current temperature.
B3- We finished on time and felt really great about our newscast as a team.
