Different techniques for radio and television

Many of the principles of writing for radio and television news programmes are the same. In both media, we try to write Good Spoken English, avoiding journalese, clichés and jargon. We use short and simple sentences, without too many adjectives and adverbs. We try to be accurate at all times, in vocabulary, terminology, basic grammar and pronunciation. We use sensitive language, which will not offend sections of the audience.
