Radio News

Radio News is pretty difficult to write.  I just got done writing my first 2 minute newscast for Media Scriptwriting and it took me what felt like 3 hours.  It probably felt like 3 hours because it actually took me 3 hours!  How in the world do these guys write a very solid 2 minute newscast in less than an hour with a deadline and make it great??  Well, according to Dr. King, "Writing, writing, writing."  I know that practice will make me better, but how do I go from where I'm at now, and possibly a news anchor for a big time radio station?  I just have to keep trucking along.  I feel like my newscasts are decent, but still needs work and I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of editing over the weekend!
