Writes a complete radio news package script — intro copy, reporter track, clip cues, and back announcement — from notes and interview transcripts.
Required: The story details (facts, figures, key angles), available clips with approximate content and duration (from transcripts or notes), and the target package duration. Optional: Programme name, whether the package needs a presenter intro or includes one, any particular angle the editor wants foregrounded, reporter name, and whether actuality or wildtrack is available.
A script document with four components: PRESENTER INTRO, PACKAGE SCRIPT (reporter track + clip labels interspersed), and optional BACK ANNOUNCEMENT. Reporter track copy is labelled TRACK with a duration estimate. Clips are labelled CUT with speaker name, in-cue, out-cue, and duration. Total package script layout is as used in broadcast newsrooms: short paragraphs, each line a breath unit, all caps for clip labels. Reporter voice is active, first-person, slightly more informal than a bulletin cue but still broadcast standard.
Programme: Evening News bulletin Story: A major employer in a market town has announced it will close its regional call centre, putting 340 jobs at risk. The closure is expected by June. The company says automation is the reason. The union disputes this, saying the centre was profitable. Target package duration: 1:45 Reporter name: James Okoro Clips available:
EVENING NEWS — PACKAGE SCRIPT Story: Westfield Call Centre Closure Reporter: James Okoro Package duration: approx. 1:45
PRESENTER INTRO | ~20 secs
Three hundred and forty jobs are at risk tonight after a company announced it will close its regional call centre in Westfield by June. Our reporter James Okoro has been speaking to the workers affected.
PACKAGE — TRACK 1 | ~18 secs
The Westfield call centre has been part of this town for nearly fifteen years. Today, the staff who arrived for morning shift found managers waiting at the door. By midday, they knew what was coming. The company says the way its customers want to be helped has changed.
CUT 1 — LENA MARSH, COMPANY SPOKESPERSON IN: "The decision reflects..." OUT: "...digital-first channels." DUR: 0:12
TRACK 2 | ~15 secs
But the union that represents most of the three hundred and forty workers does not accept that explanation. Callum Reid from Unite says the numbers simply do not add up.
CUT 2 — CALLUM REID, UNITE IN: "This centre has been profitable..." OUT: "...at workers' expense." DUR: 0:18
TRACK 3 | ~12 secs
For many of those workers, this is not an abstract dispute about business strategy. Some have been here a decade or more. A few asked us not to use their names.
CUT 3 — ANONYMOUS WORKER IN: "I've worked here eleven years..." OUT: "...That's all we got." DUR: 0:08
TRACK 4 — SIGN-OFF | ~20 secs
The company says it will open a consultation process in the coming weeks and that some staff may be redeployed to other sites. The union says it will be scrutinising that process closely. For the workers here in Westfield, that process begins tomorrow.
James Okoro, Evening News, Westfield.
BACK ANNOUNCEMENT (presenter) | ~10 secs
James Okoro there. The company has been contacted for further comment and says it expects to announce full consultation details later this week.
TOTAL PACKAGE (without pres intro or back anno): approx. 1:43
