Breaking News Stories

News readers need to be cool under pressure. There are occasions when a story breaks just before, or while you are on air and it has to be covered immediately. In such circumstances, a news presenter has to tread a difficult line between making the story sound urgent and important - without making it sound overly dramatic and possibly upsetting.

A steady slower, more precise pace and more authority and a hint of urgency in the voice is necessary. A pause after the previous item and this piece of breaking news will help draw the listener in.[1]
