Select the best source material to achieve program goals.

Selection should include

• reviewing all material (e.g., interview, sound bite, B-roll, associated press [AP] newswire story) available for the program
• evaluating the best material, according to program objectives.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What would one look for when choosing material to use in a production?
• How does one identify the goals of the production?
• In a production, where would you likely place your best material?
• How might one easily interpret/distill and adjust newswire stories to production time constraints?
