You sound just like the ABC Disney new network news. Writing phrases for the video in incomplete VERBLESS sentences. Firefighters (no verb so to avoid writing a passive sentences) injured. (Who did they injure? without a verb?)
Hopefully all that hair on fire drama writing to each video clip will fall out of FASHION and they'll go back to proper grammar...people are already speaking verbless shorthand as if they're TV voiceover video narrations! So hurried...because they want to show the same clips 3 times, the open headline, the tease to break two, and finally the meaningless liveshot so they can show it again!
I call it VOMIT TV. NBC stole an ABC playbook...CBS is resisting But paramount will COPY ABC if their ratings slip to third. Already they run the same handout video, usually in the same story order (bad weather is always first). and it ends at about :48 when they back to back big pharma commercials til time to run the kicker.
