Use this template to properly format a single-column script for a visual media news story.

Attention!
Check with your unit to ensure there are no local templates that should be used instead.

Effectively formatting your script will assist you with producing your story. A visual media news story is only heard and seen by the audience, not read in print. When writing a script for a visual media news story, keep in mind your audience needs to understand what is happening the first time they see your story, because it may be the only time they see it. The audience cannot go back and reread something if they miss it.

Use this template to properly format the script:

  • Story Header
  • Story Lead
  • Body of the Story
  • End of the Story
