Broadcast & Podcast
📋 What it is
Broadcast (TV/radio) and podcasts tell news by voice and sound, using clear structure and verified facts just like print.
🗣️ Coach says
Different medium, same rules. Audio and video news still must verify facts — they just add voice, pacing and sound. Good broadcast is clear and calm; watch for drama or music used to push your feelings.
🧠 Memory hook
Audio/video news = same verification + voice & sound. Watch for drama.

😲 Whoa!
Radio news reports are often written to be read aloud in exactly 30 or 60 seconds — every word is timed.
✅ Quick check: What do broadcast and podcast news share with printed news?
Say your answer out loud first — then reveal.
The same duty to verify facts and report truthfully; they just deliver it through voice, sound and video instead of text.
Seeing the shared standard stops "it was on TV" from meaning "it’s true".
