Writing for a Visual Medium- Lis White

Writing for a visual medium is hard. You need to be more concise, more to the point, and there is really no room for extraneous information. Writing for print there is a little more room for those extra interesting details that may not be the most important things,  for those people who are interested in more information, towards the end of the story. 

I had a really hard time trying to write for a visual medium after learning how to write for print. You have to put in the most important information, without including extra details that aren't pertinent. Not to mention you have make sure you aren't using to many numbers or saying too much at once, even if the information is pertinent. It seems like there is a lot less control in broadcast writing, but I assume that with experience a journalist learns how to control the situations a little more.
