Write a broadcast news story based on the info below. Assume this is for a local Nebraska TV or radio station. This news story must be written to fill 60 seconds. You MUST include the quote at the bottom for your Sound on Tape (SOT). 

 

Use the following 12-second quote as sound on tape from Barlow that you got from a phone interview with the inmate from prison: "I got the names from obituaries in an Omaha newspaper they get here at the prison. I needed the money and I figured these people would be coming into some money."

Wesley Barlow is an inmate in a Nebraska state prison. He has been charged with
swindling dozens of widows out of thousands of dollars. Barlew, 32, is serving an 8-year
sentence for burglary. Today he pleaded guilty to new charges against him and was
sentenced to an additional 10 years on top of the old sentence. Barlow had mailed letters
to men who recently died not long ago. The letters were then received by the mens
widows. The letters sought payment-usually less than $100–"for maintenance and
repairs." Some women paid because they assumed their dead husbands had some work
done before their deaths, a detective thought. Barlow said he got their names from the
obituaries in an Omaha newspaper. The scam was discovered when the mother of an
Omaha detective received one of the letters.
