[Sticky] How to use the WRBB Newsblog

Hey DJs!

As you probably know, we here at WRBB require that the news be read every day at Noon and 5PM. I'll have a signup sheet posted weekly in the on-air studio for people to initial times when they plan on reading the news. What you actually will read will be posted here on this blog for you to pull up.

When you do the news, please speak loudly and clearly. Any critique of the events described (which is very welcome and an excellent way of providing good on-air content) should be saved until after the read is complete. Your script should go as follows:

"Good afternoon, my name is _________. This is a WRBB News Update. The time is ____.

[proceed to reading the content. be sure to mention sources when written.]

This has been a WRBB News Update, I'm _______. For comments and questions, please email us at WRBBNewsDesk@gmail.com."


Enjoy it! I'll keep the articles relevant and interesting so we have fun doing it.


Cheers everyone,
Andy

Good afternoon, the time is ____, and this is the WRBB News Update:

An MIT student wearing what turned out to be a fake bomb was arrested at gunpoint Friday at Logan International Airport and later claimed it was artwork, officials said.

MSNBC reports: Star Simpson, 19, had a computer circuit board and wiring in plain view over a black hooded sweatshirt she was wearing, said State Police Maj. Scott Pare, the commanding officer at the airport.

Simpson was “extremely lucky she followed the instructions or deadly force would have been used,” State Police Maj. Scott Pare said. “She’s lucky to be in a cell as opposed to the morgue.”

****************

According to NME, The jury have resumed their deliberations in the trial of music producer Phil Spector, after receiving new instructions from the judge.

The jurors reached an impasse in the case earlier this week and some requested further instructions, leading Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler to suggest new theories of how Spector might have committed the crime.

Kittens!
