TV Journalism & Programme Formats11
Radio news reports tend to be crisper and shorter than television news reports, since a radio listener gets bored easily if the report is too long.
Television reports are short compared to print news reports, but they have more content than radio news reports.
Television can show the audience
what the news is about, whereas radio can only describe. This is both strength and a limitation for both the mediums. Television can provide visual evidence of the news it conveys,
which radio cannot provide. But radio can stimulate the listener’s imagination to create mental pictures of an event – something television cannot do.
1.4. TV JOURNALISMTelevision journalism involves more than reporting the news on television. It also involves researching
and writing stories, collecting facts, following tips, and more.
Television journalism is the reason we have major television news shows whether those
shows are regarding world news, politics, sports or celebrities. The journalists who work to bring those television shows to life may research stories,
write,
collect facts, follow tips, present the information to the public on television and more. Television journalism is not quite so different from print journalism,
although television journalists use a different platform to tell their stories.
