Glossary
NWCG Glossary: http://www.nwcg.gov/pms/pubs/glossary/index.htm
This glossary provides the wildland fire and fire use communities a single source for wildland fire,
prescribed fire, fire use and incident management terminology commonly used by the National
Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) and its Working Teams. The NWCG has directed that all NWCG
document glossaries will be based upon the Glossary of Wildland Fire Terminology for the purpose
of maintaining definition consistency and clarity among documents. A PDF of this Glossary is
included in the Appendix.
Glossary of News Media Terms
- Appropriate Management Response - Specific actions taken in response to a wildland
fire to implement protection and fire use objectives.
- Assignment Editor - in television news, the person who decides what stories will be
covered and assigns stories to reporters.
- B-roll - video package made up of shots directly and/or indirectly relating to the subject at
hand that can be used as supplemental cutaway material for an edited/live broadcast of that
subject. Often provided to broadcast news organizations for use in news coverage. Examples
may include footage of fires or prevention, education, and mitigation activities.
- Beat - a reporter's regular assignment, such as the police beat or fire beat.
- Breaking News - unplanned, spontaneous news events, such as wildfires, as opposed to
scheduled events like City Council meetings.
- Deadline - the time at which a story must be ready or after which material will no longer be
accepted for publication or broadcast.
- Editor - the person responsible for determining what stories will appear in a newspaper. A
Managing Editor is responsible for overall operations while a City Editor determines local
coverage and gives reporters assignments. Feature Editors, Photo Editors, and Sports Editors
determine the stories that will appear in their sections.
- Feature - a story providing an in-depth look at news other than hard or breaking news, or a
lighter look at the news.
- Five W's and H - who, what, where, when, why and how - the major questions answered
in a news story.
- Follow-up - a story that adds information to a story previously broadcast or published.
- Hard News - the serious and immediate news of the day as opposed to feature stories and
stories that can wait.
- Handout - a written statement, a set of statistics, or graphics prepared for distribution to
the news media.
- News Director - the manager in charge of a radio or television news department.
- Off-The-Record - information provided to a reporter that is meant for background and not
for publication. It is a good policy to never assume anything is off the record. If you say it,
expect to hear it on the air or see it in print.
- Producer - in television news, the person who puts together the newscast and decides
where a story will be placed.
- Sidebar - a story on the same topic that runs the same day and right next to the main
story. The sidebar may have a narrower focus or more detail on a single aspect of the main
story.
- Soundbite - the broadcast version of a quote. Usually consists of a very short statement or
message.
- Standup - a reporter telling a small part of the story on camera in the field as a part of a
package.
- Talking Head - a videotape recording of a close-up shot of someone talking.
- Voice-over - a television story where the news anchor in the studio reads a script over
videotape.
- Wire Story - a news story that appears on a wire service.
- Wraparound - a radio story where the reporter's voice is recorded on audiotape around a
soundbite. Similar to a television news "package." |
