2. A radio broadcast will usually be briefer and slightly less formal than a written journalistic report.
3. It may still include statements of fact and reported speech that give different perspectives.
4. Instead of direct speech, we will hear individuals' accounts as interview segments.
5. We will use some language specific to radio broadcasts, such as 'correspondent' and 'studio'.

Common misconception
