This week was difficult as a producer I felt because there was very little hard news. MY newscast included three stories about the upcoming holiday travel and a speed reading contest, none of which are truly hard news. I tried to make the newscast have more stories that were shorter in length so I could use the stories about Pakistan's free elections and Iran's nuclear weapons. Sadly I did not time out the stories correctly and ended up having to cut one the one about Pakistan's free elections. One floater I used that did not make it into the newscast was about the studies that inner city schools are doing worse than other schools. The most interesting story on the day was actually Noel's wrap about AAA and holiday travel. I liked the emphasis on the holiday travel theme because a lot of stories were just coming out about the travel season that the listeners would want to know.
