In Reply To: The first segments from two recent shows. If you have examples of package writing or any special reports you produced, include them. I rarely have found a news director who wants to watch weather, sports or your kicker on a resume tape. The segments should include your show open up to the first tease. And believe it or not, the first tease will carry a lot of weight. Very important: In your cover letter, explain what it is they are watching.
Message: If you include a special report, how long should it be, and will it make the tape too long?
