VJ-07. Sports Feature Story/Package
This is a single story that should inform or instruct about athletics-related topic. For example, showing what it’s like to be a swimmer. Entries should go beyond the surface facts. They might include detailed background information. They may appeal to the emotions of the viewer with inspiration, motivation, pathos or humor. The angle is less immediate than hard news. Stories may be longer-form, and they may be less formally structured than a sports news package. Good interviews and sound bites are a must-have. Lower thirds are important for identification.
