For the 11pm show, I edited 3 stories, a toss, a tease, and a header. Everything went really well except for the second piece. One of the worst things that can go wrong in news is going to black, which I did. The biggest rule of editing for the news is padding. Padding is when you put extra clips at the end of a voice over in case the anchor goes off script. I thought I put enough pad, but I was wrong. The only other reason I can think of is that I gave the production crew the wrong TRT (Total Run Time). Either way, I really messed up, and May is a Sweep Month. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to redeem myself.
