How to write a News Script for TV News

Writing an interview script, or formulating appropriate responses to anticipated interview
questions, gives you the opportunity to flesh out the dialogue you want to use during an interview

5 TIPS to your first interview

● Practice Your Sound Bite: Always read your script out loud in a conversational tone so you
can judge if an audience will be able to understand it.
● Send Questions to Your Interviewee: Send the reporter or anchor to the interviewee. This
will guide the interview toward familiar waters and keep you from hemming and hawing
while you think the next question or response.
● Control Your Body Language: You’ll likely be nervous or amped up during your interview,
but strive not to let it show. Maintain eye contact with your interviewer
● Practice Ahead of Time (Practice…Practice…Practice…): It can make you more comfortable if
you practice a faux interview beforehand, either with a friend or in front of a mirror.
