The members of your group need to adopt different roles in order to ensure that certain critical things get done; however, all members need to work as a team and assist when necessary:

• Producer - responsible for overall operation and management of things, including advertising; also needs to know newscast terminology and educate team-mates about it; the producer is also the principal authority on scientific accuracy
• Director - responsible for the script including the timing of the newscast.  You will have a total of 10 min to prepare and 20 min to present your newscast. 
• Production Chief - responsible for all images and graphics used in the newscast, as well as cut lines (captions) for all images used; needs to know the principles of photo, and image manipulation and is the principal authority on the use of Power Point 
• Script Writer - responsible for all copy (i.e. the stories): gathering information, writing the copy, proofreading it, and readying it for the finished product.  (Each anchor will write their own stories)
