Task · part of 2(B). Option B: Radio and television journalism

2(B)(1). Four newscasts, all on the same day

Optional May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 2: print and online, or radio and television?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

A local and a national network newscast, a radio newscast, and, with your parent or guardian's permission, a national broadcast news source online. List the items, the elements used, and the time in minutes and seconds or the online space given to each.

Note. All four on the same day again: a local newscast, a national network newscast, a radio newscast and, with your parent or guardian's permission, a national broadcast news source online. You are timing them in minutes and seconds, so have something to write on before you start.

Where this step comes from

  1. Journalism Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-12-31), Requirement 2(B)(1) · States that all four are taken in on the same day.
