![LEAD. If the Newspaper Lead is: “A Ukranian man said he believed the wing of the airplane was on fire when he attempted to open the emergency exit door of a Delta Air Lines plane yesterday. He had to be wrestled to the floor by fellow passengers.” The Radio Lead will be: A hung-over man was wrestled to the floor by passengers on a Delta airplane this morning after disrupting the flight. BODY. A hung-over man was wrestled to the floor by passengers on a Delta airplane this morning after disrupting the flight. Just as the plane touched ground in Salt Lake City, Anatolee Baranovick got up from his seat and ran to the back of the aircraft. Ignoring flight attendant orders for him to stop, BARA-NO-VICK attempted to open the plane’s emergency exit door. He was restrained by passengers shortly after. Baranovick has said he was recovering from a 50-day drinking binge and believed the plane was on fire. SUMMARY: Baranovick’s actions damaged the plane. Airline companies are discussing how such incidents could be avoided in the future and so guarantee the safety of all passengers. “Reporting live from [Salt Lake City,] I’m [insert name]. Back to you [name of the radio host.]” Remember, the listener will only hear the words once. So your sentences have to be short and simple: Write as you would speak. Don’t say: “4p.m.” but say: “4 o’clock in the afternoon.” Highlight and spell difficult words to pronounce. For example: Baranovick. Slow down, it is not a race. Mark in your script where you need to take a pause. Read it several times before you go on air.](3.jpg "imagen 3")
