The enthusiastic new batch fills the assignment board with story ideas every morning. Unfortunately, they don't always realize how much work must be done to frame the story before venturing out into the field. I went on a "shooting" with a couple of new newscasters for a story on tourism that didn't quite turn out as planned. We got some video for a vo/sot and we will make a package on tourism souvenirs after doing a little more research. It turns out that many of the items that tourists believe are local and handmade are actually mass produced in another country such as Thailand. Environmental restrictions have been placed on gathering coral, shells and other items needed for traditional Maldivian handcrafts. We need to get more facts in order to finish the story.
