[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

US shares opened 200 points lower on Friday, after official figures showed a sharper-than-expected fall in the number of new homes being built.

The Dow Jones industrial average recovered slightly to trade down 90 points or 1.0%.

European share indexes have fluctuated throughout the day and were trading higher by the early afternoon.

It comes at the end of a week of rallies and slumps, unseen since the crash of 1987.

Iceland and Iran are among several nations seeking member seats on the U.N. Security Council, the powerful world panel that can impose sanctions and dispatch peacekeepers.

Iceland, grappling with a financial crisis, and Iran, under U.N. sanctions for its nuclear program, will come up for a vote Friday at the 192-member General Assembly. Austria, Turkey, Japan, Uganda and Mexico are also candidates.

In the secret ballot, candidates must get a two-thirds majority of members voting to win one of five soon-to-be-open non-permanent member slots on the 15-seat council.

Iceland will battle Austria and Turkey for one of two European open council seats. Iceland was considered a strong candidate, until a financial crisis hit the Nordic country.
