News Values
News Values
This news story would be at the top of the agenda because of its news values. Due to the fact that it has most of the news values, most people would find this interesting as it is a disaster caused by a terrorist and it is was is one of the biggest terrorist attacks yet and one of the two biggest towers in the world has been destroyed. This is also a popular story as most people have said that they would prefer and find it more interesting to watch a negative news story then a positive one. The viewers would like this news story as it is simple and straight to the point and it also covers live action from the scene. This story would interest people in England as many English people had died that day, but it wouldn't be in the news long as it didn't happen in England so people would eventually forget and move on to the next big thing happening. 9/11 Has happened along time ago now but is still unforgettable as it is not everyday you see two gigantic towers fall and kill thousands of people. If a terrorist attack happened like this in another country like Iraq it wouldn't be a popular as it is now because USA is a much bigger and popular country than Iraq.
TV News: Representation and Bias
Sky News: London Riot 2011
1) The police's perspective
2) The police are the innocent people or hero's in this news story
3) They are represented as the villains
4) Hand held videos taking from a phone ( citizen journalism) and reports from the crime scene all ruined.
5) Sky news uses a negative describing words to define young teenagers and kind words for the police officers which had been injured during the riot.
6) The citizen journalism put is used the most and is repeated and shown a lot of times.
7) The narrative has been used to engage the audience via the way it was introduced and the clips they have to show and the way they describe the scene and the people there.
8) The equilibrium is when the city was perfectly fine. The disequilibrium is when the rioters are burning cars and buildings and the city is ruined.
9) The heroes in this news story is the police and the villains are the rioters and the news reporters frame the police as innocent and the rioters as horrific.
10) Citizen Journalism was used to display the burning building along side the police man showing that the rioters are bad.

music but they are shown in an informal manner which wouldn't appeal to an
older audience.
2) The presenters are wearing everyday

target audience as it contains international news and the audience might be for
there. The sport news may also appeal to the audience as most younger people like sport and the target audience is younger people.
2)

Case Study 3: News Stories Covering Start Of General Election Campaign 2015
Case Study 3: News
Stories Covering Start Of General Election Campaign 2015
Testing what you’ve learnt
1) The angle of a news story is that
their views that they have, for example, most newspapers will focus on Britain
2) When you read a tabloid it is dumbed down
but when you read broadsheet it contains much more information and is harder to
read
3) BBC 60 Second News
4) BBC News At 6
5) International News in news all around
the world, National news is news in the whole of the country, Regional is news
in cities e.g. London, Scotland and Local news is news in West London

BBC News Case Study 2
BBC News Case Study

Basics
1) British Broadcast Corporation
2) Tax payers money
3) To inform, Educate and Entertain
4) Mixed genre to offer a wide range of
high quality programmes. Reflect the UK and to have original programmes
5) It shows a wide range of news stories
that interest the audience
Presenters
1) Huw Edwards and Fiona Bruce
2) The presenters are wearing very
formal clothing e.g. Suits
3) A TV news programme would use a
variety of presenters to show diversity and to show that they don’t only use
white males and females as presenters
4) Other reporters or presenters would
be used in interviewing and reporting from other parts in the world. They also
sometimes get the news reporter that reported from that specific area to come
back into the studio and talk about it.
5) Yes there is a female and a male
presenter and they are both white British.
Opening Sequence
1) The brand logo.
2) They use graphics to show pictures of
the news story; in this case “Tesco has lost 6.4 Billion pounds” This gets the
audience interested as it is most likely their local supermarket.
3) The music in the beginning is used
for the intro (opening scene) as is also used to introduce the main story or
stories
4) They put the main story first then
they say that other news stories they are going to talk about (the order they
mention them is the order they are going to talk about them).
Studio Mise-En-Scene
1) Just before they introduce the main
story the camera pans out into the studio and you can see all the studio and
working people. It also pans out into the main casting area where the presenter
is getting ready to talk about the news.
2) When they are introducing the stories
(the beginning) they are standing. I think they did this to make the audience
feel like they are being talked too. While the programme goes on the presenter
sits down.
3) You can see the presenter and the
technology they use just before the programme starts. I think they did this
because they want the audience to know how prepared they are and how
professional they are.
4) The colour of the studio is the same
colour of the logo.
How News Stories Are
Presented
1) They briefly explain the news stories
when they are introducing them and after they introduce them they go into
detail and talk about it more
2) The programme uses a lot of
interviews and video clips to keep the audience entertained
3) Political, Sport, News in London,
International.
4) They use a series of video clips and
they interview victims to see their point of view
Running Order
1) “Tesco loses 6.4 Billion Pounds”

Stories
4) To show how serious and how much
there is to say about it.
Audience

3) They might watch this news show than
any other as it is on during dinner time and is very popular.
4) The audience can tweet at the
broadcasters to discuss their points of view which than can be shown on TV.
5) Diversion – Escapism or
entertainment. Surveillance – Information useful for living (e.g. weather, traffic
news).
Institution
1) Bbc news at 10, BBC Breakfast, BBC
Three 60 Seconds, Eastenders, Doctor Who
2) OFCOM doesn’t make sure BBC News is
fair and accurate as they have their own regulators (BBC Trust).

numbers on the screen.
