10 Plus 1: Writing The "Evening News"

(CBS)
While we know that not everything on the "Evening News" is scripted, a good deal of it is. Ever wonder who writes the stuff? Much of it is written by Jerry Cipriano, who has been writing for the program since 1991. And with only 22 minutes to summarize the day's news, concise content is key. (Avoiding alliterative phrases like that one is also probably a good idea.) Wonder how he fits it all in? Here's your chance to ask. E-mail us your questions or post them in comments and Jerry will answer them along with ours for tomorrow's "10 Plus 1" feature.
