B-Roll is a video news release without the narration so that brodacast media can use the provided framework but by adding their own script and narration.

Often video news releases will provide both a complete ready to screen VNR and a 'b-roll'.

On its website KEF Media Associates describe b-roll as "a 'picture story' is followed by a series of soundbites from spokespeople. All of the video is organized around 'slates' - text that offers editors and producers a suggested script and other information they need to turn the B-roll into a story for their program". [1]
