A Stand-up is where the reporter is seen telling the story in the package. It is usually placed in the middle or end of a news package. Here is a sample stand-up bridge. Another aspect of reporting is how to set-up an interview. This changes the direction of the story.
Some reporters think stand-ups are unecessary.
This approach is often used as a segue to tell the other side of a story. A stand-up can be used at the end of the story to bring it to a close. Don't sum up a story by editorializing. Whatever fact or information you planned to put at the end of the package could be incorpoarated in your stand-up. FOX 61 News at 10.
