Sports news story: In the world cup Belgium beat USA after extra time to set up quarter final clash with Argentina.
Funny news story: Woman gives birth to her child in Birmingham, outside Primark.

2) For each story above, explain WHY you chose that particular story and not something else. Why would it interest a Greenford audience? 
Greenford news story: We chose this story because everyone is talking about it in school and yr 9's are upset because their last sports day is in school.
international news story: We chose this story because the boy was kidnapped before his death.
London news story: We chose this story because Facebook is a worldwide social website and everyone is now wondering if its safe.
Sports news story: We chose this story because the world cup is now the recent sporting event and everyone especially team supporters of USA wonder if the win of Argentina was fair.
Funny news story: We chose this story because it was a funny coincidence and it was quite fascinating to know.

3) What order did you broadcast the stories in? Why did you place the stories in that order?
We did the Greenford news first because that is the school we are at. We did our international new second because it was quite sad how there was a young boy dead.The third story we broadcasted was the Facebook investigation and we chose this as our third broadcast because Facebook is used by nearly everyone therefore people our now doubting if its safe to go on the website. As fourth we did the football news because we believe that as the world cup at the moment has so many viewers from all around the world it would'v matter to them (especially USA fans) to know if the game was fair. We placed the funny news story at last place because we decided to finish of with a smile as all the news mentioned previously were bad news therefore finishing with happy and funny news was a good end.
