VIDEO AND RADIO NEWS RELEASES It is painful for organizations working for good causes to recognize that things which are important to you (a revised policy, new leadership, the anniversary of anything) are not necessarily important to a television news director and general TV audiences. What is important to them is news something that people haven't heard about before that will interest local viewers, that will affect their lives in an important way. What plays well for audiences is a human interest story that makes you care about an issue. We use the best VNR producers and reporters because the angle on the story is everything, separating the clichéd, the dull, and the unimportant, from the fresh, interesting, and significant.
