- Name the TV news programme you created a running order for in this morning's lesson.
- List the five stories you chose and explain why you chose each one.
Prince Harry announcing his engagement,
Cheryl Close is pregnant,
Miley Cyrus telling a fan to 'get a life' starting a Twitter bomb,
David Cameron meeting up with Obama.
I chose these news story and placed them in this order because Newsround is known for presenting happy news instead of tragic news and this is because they have such a young target audience, so they do not want to upset them. However when they do report tragic stories they present them educationally. For example with the plane disappearing in Australia they could of used maps to educate the children of where Australia is and what cities it is close to.
- Use the Uses and Gratifications theory to explain why ONE of the stories appeals to the target audience for that programme.
- Now choose one of the other TV news programmes we have focused on and choose a five-story running order for that programme. The four TV news progammes are:
- Channel 4 News
- BBC News at Six
- BBC3 60 Second News
- BBC Newsround
- The available stories are:
- A tweet by Miley Cyrus telling a fan to ‘get a life’ has started a ‘Twitter storm’.
- Israel has shelled a residential area of Gaza killing around 25 civilians.
- Gunfire has been reported on the streets of Moscow although no there are no details as yet regarding who has opened fire or why.
- A well-known politician has been named on Twitter as being investigated by police for fraud.
- Cheryl Cole has announced she is pregnant.
- David Cameron’s office has announced he will be visiting Washington next week to meet President Obama.
- An anti-austerity march against government cuts has been held in London today and was attended by 50,000 people. The protest was calm.
- A new series of BBC drama Sherlock achieved record viewing figures last night.
- Lady Gaga is in London and has been spotted jogging in Hyde Park.
- A woman has been convicted of murdering her husband. He was a wealthy banker and she a stay-at-home mum.
- Two prisoners convicted of armed robbery have escaped from Wormwood Scrubs prison in West London.
- 20 people were killed in 15 different road accidents over the previous weekend.
- Place the top five news in the running order.
A passenger plane disappeared at The South Pacific towards Australia.
Israel has shelled a residential area of Gaza killing around 25 civilians.
An anti-austerity march against government cuts has been held in London today and was attended by 50,000 people. The protest was calm.
A well-known politician has been on Twitter as being investigated by police for fraud.
Buckingham Palace has announced Prince Harry's engagement.
I chose these news stories
- Explain why those stories fit the target audience for the programme you have chosen.
The reason why I chose these stories for Channel 4 News is because Channel 4 always presents International news first as their top stories unlike BBC 6 o'clock News which is all about the UK, Channel 4 is always concentrating on the international breaking news stories. However they do also include National news seeing as their are based in UK.
