Abstract
Greek television news broadcasts routinely incorporate large chunks of livetransmissions, consisting of on-the-scene reporters interviewing eyewitnesses to emerging news, which are often trivial but always audience-involving. Although the tellabilityof such stories seems to be a priori warranted, tellers regularly employ a number of reinforcing strategies which construct their accounts as newsworthy and credible. Some of these strategies are of the usual narrativekind; others seem to be television-oriented - often mixing mundanewith institutional, creating an intermediatetype of talk - seldom failing, however, to display the speaker’s cultural competence and medium-awareness in terms of the overall structural design and verbal shape of their contributions.
