How to deal with large and complicated tables

A thought of mine on how to deal with large and complicated tables such as Ed Bradley#Awards and recognition. In such cases, the spoken editor faces a challenge. Doing a complete detailed read out is laborious and at the same time very difficult for a listener to parse and usually not useful.

Different approaches could be used while dealing with tables:

  • Option 1 - Summarise very broadly.
  • Option 2 - Summarise very broadly. AND Give the name of the audio file where the details are completely .
  • Option 3 - Group common items and summarise. AND Give the name of the audio file where the details are completely .
  • Option 4 - Choose most important items to expound in full. AND Give the name of the audio file where the details are completely .
  • Option 5 - Give the details completely.

One could choose any approach. However, the listener should be clear from your script that what you are saying regarding the table is your summary work and not the original text of the article.

This thought of mine arose from a question to me from M4V3R1CK32. I invite thoughts and views from others on this issue.
