Other information i found about the channel was that it was founded on 18 October 1922
3) The audience for the channel is 21.9%
however the show is mostly targeted at a higher class because of how the program is layered out and how it is presented, on the program they don't just tell you the news they discuss it by bringing people in and hearing about their views, because its higher class audience the education would be high as well, as people would have to understand the point of views and what is being talked about. The show is mostly watched by adults from ages 35+ and these are mostly people who have to go work early. In my view i don't think that its aimed at one specific gender i believe that its for both male and female.
4) The running order for three separate editions of the programme. Watch at least 20 minutes of the programme on THREE separate days and write down the following:
On Monday the three stories that interested me the most were;
A British ebola patient William Pooley's lowest point "I thought of my parents"
The first British person to contract Ebola during the outbreak in West Africa has been discharged from
hospital after making a full recovery.
Ex-chief constable Mike Hedges 'unaware of Rotherham child sex abuse'
A former police chief has said he was completely unaware of the systematic sexual exploitation of children in Rotherham during his time in charge.
Scott Rogers murder: TV host in sex abuse claims
A US TV host who is thought to have been murdered by his ex-lover was a "monster" who sexually abused boys, it has been claimed.
On Tuesday the stories that interested me the most where;
Ashya King's mother 'cried and prayed'
Ashya's parents were jailed for taking him Spain to get treatment for him with fewer side effects rather
than here in England.
First three years of primary; 'free school meals'
For children of ages 5-7 all school meals are free, for all families no matter of families income.
17 year old boy was told he wouldn't survive?
17 year old Ryan Smith was told he wouldn't survive after being knocked of his bike on his way to work. He was in a coma and had severe brain damage which led to a 9 month stay in the hospital.
On Wednesday the storied i found most interesting where;
Ashya reunited with parents
The King couple were delighted to be let put and finally see their son which was placed 330 miles away from them, it was their 4th day without seeing him and they were excited to finally be released.
Apple hacked, and pictures published.
Apple was hacked and pictures of famous actors, such as Jennifer Lawrence were published.
The storied are placed in the broadcasted order.
I believe the editor chose those stories and placed them in these orders because the news vary from happy news to shocking news and then to worldwide news. These stories were broadcasted because they are important and they are touching.
WWW: This is an excellent project - it is clear extensive research has taken place and the it's great to see clips and images embedded in the blog.
ReplyDeleteEBI: The final section is weaker - I think you could offer a lot more analysis/opinion on why certain stories are placed at the top of the news bulletin. You also need to check audience viewing figures (a number usually in millions) and audience share (a percentage).
LR: Do you regularly watch the programme you researched? Why/why not? Where do you get your news from? Answer in a comment below.
I don't always watch BBC breakfast however when I do watch it its usually around 7:30 to 8:00 which is when I leave for school, the reason why I watch it is because they have a odd variety of news and they bring in people or the characters involved and ask them about their views or opinions, also the presenters are very good at doing their jobs and they bring out their views aswell. Normally I watch 4music which presents news about famous characters and what's going on in their life's right now.
