More and more news managers require newscast critiques for anyone going for editorial positions.
This is great because it helps the managers “see how you think” on many levels. The trouble is many producers have no idea how to do newscast critiques.
Part of this is because many never get their shows critiqued by management. They may hear “The A-Block did not work.” or “Those teases did not hit well.” But that’s not a true critique.
So let’s talk about how to practice newscast critiques with your own or your station’s work. The best part is that it will help you grow as a content manager.
When self critiquing you need to consider the following items:
- Does The Subject Flow Make Sense?
- Did Production Values Work?
- Is Branding Clear?
