Lesson Topic
The NEWS within Sports
Lesson Outline
Finish the NEWS story which led the Newscast re: Top Golf Building next to exclusive Bears Club. Cameron was live with the lead story at the top of the newscast and the controversy was also the lead story in sportscast (can assume viewers saw top so recap and bring fresh angle in sports) Cam interviews Top Golf CEO then before he runs out of time within his 3:30 sportscast he mentions NHL's Florida Panthers historic upset over the Boston Bruins & next round playoffs beginning tonight in Toronto. And so he knows what real life sportscaster deal with, he planned on using a funny sound bite of the Panthers but the show producer cut his time / sportscast short so she a) mistimed the whole newscast and sports pays the price & b) she has time to air the "kicker" story at the end of the newscast about kittens. This is a regular and often infuriating occurrence.

Lesson Comments
Cameron is just outstanding in his grasp now of the nature, structure, the reasons and practices of a TV Sportscaster. We have covered and completed every major aspect / format of sportscasting, except documentaries which will be his final assignment. Since Cam made it through the local qualifying for the US Open his documentary assignment will be: "The History of Amateurs at the US Open Golf Tournament"
