Planning a TV news running order

1) Name the TV news programme you created a running order for in this morning's lesson.
    BBC3 60 second news
2) List the five stories you chose and explain why you chose each one.
   Top story- Buckingham palace  has announced prince Harrys engagement.
   Second story- David Cameron will be visiting president Obama.
   Third story- lady Gaga has been spotted jogging in Hyde park.
   Fourth story- A tweetby Miley Cyrus telling a fan to  'get a life' has started a 'Twitter storm'.
   Fifth story- Two prisoners convicted of armed robbery have escaped from Wormwood scrubs prison in West                          London.
3) Use the Uses and Gratifications theory to explain why ONE of the stories appeals to the target audience for       that programme.
    The story about the 2 prisoners convicted of armed robbery escaping would have the category of surveillance     because all tv news is about informing the public and that is what they are doing here.

4) 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
   
     Im going to make a running order for BBC Newsround:
     1)lady Gaga is in London and has been spotted jogging in Hyde Park.
     2)Cheryl Cole has announced she in pregnant.
     3)David Cameron's office has been announced he will be visiting Washington next week to meet
        President Obama.
     4)A tweet by Miley Cyrus telling a fan to 'get a life' has started a 'Twitter storm'
     5) A new series of BBC drama Sherlock achieved record viewing figures last night.
     
   
     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.

5) Explain why those stories fit the target audience for the programme you have chosen.
    I think that the 1st 2nd 4th and 5th fit really well because they have a target audience from 6 year olds to 
    12 year olds and i think that they would rather see those things then see news about someone breaking out       of prison. The reason i put the third story in is because its got nothing to do with the police, politics and
    other things like those.
