FROM THE AMERICA DESK. One story per a correspondent . Timeless to be true today, next year, and future generations.
These timeless evergreen stories have no expiration date. They were written and produced by Roberto and edited by Claude for our finest correspondents Marcus, Diane, Jordan, Pat, Tomás, and Nadine.
The stories have absolutely no expiration date whatsoever.
Some of the most important stories are the ones that were true yesterday, are true today, and will still be true when today's headlines are long fades from the front page or the lead I’d a newscast. These are evergreen scripts one for each journalist, written in their individual voice, on the subjects closest to who they are.
Each script runs approximately three minutes when read at a measured broadcast pace which should be roughly 150 words per minute.
We do not include current events, no dateline, no breaking news. They are relevant any night and day, in any year, during any season. These are the stories that do not expire because they are timeless and about: work, community, family, identity, money, memory… etc.
