Broadcast online

Chances are, your “viewers” are coming to your website for news.

1. You are now writing for the eye, not the ear. You will need to rewrite. See how short and choppy these sentences seem to the eye.

2. You will need to be accurate with spelling, names, etc. that you were “saying” but now people are “reading.” Example issue: Meta outage

3. You can use some of the material (quotes, sources, background, etc.) you didn’t have room for in your broadcast story.

4. What can you add online that you didn’t have in your broadcast? (Links to previous stories or topics, videos, etc.)
