Wikinews talk:Audio Wikinews/Template/News Briefs

Deleted Full Report mention

I have removed the mention of Audio Wikinews: Full Report from the bottom of this template. It has been about a month and a half since anyone has produced a full report, so I think it's misleading to listeners to tell them to "check it out" (and, it's certainly misleading to tell them that it's produced daily, which it has never been). I replaced it with the concluding sentence, "This has been a news brief for Audio Wikinews. Have a good day."

Flow of Broadcast

I would personally, although this is not cannon, encourage readers not to state, in full, the closing comments and licensing statements. For a broadcast as short as the news briefs, it is unreasonable for this massive body of text to be read (it can take as much as a third of the brief). This inflates file size and reduces the amount of actual news covered.

Title Change

Can we change from "Audio Wikinews News Briefs" to "Wikinews Audio News Briefs"? In the first case you are repeating the word "news", and it seems (to me) to flow better in the second case. Not really suggesting changing the whole site around that, but for word flow when speaking it is easier to enunciate.dzcowart 02:10, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
