BBC Newcastle news stories.

In the news on the 12^th march 2014 at 10 o’clock there was 8 stories all together.

1 – The malayisan plane is still missing, however they spotted a burning object in the sky near Vitenam.  They also interviewed a vitenam transporter on what he thinks of the incident.

-        Copy and audio story. They used this format so that they could give an insight into what peoples opinions are on the case. It is an international story so it shows the type of people who live over and are from the overseas country. I would  also of included plane sound effects in the background to show the effect of what they were focusing on.

2 -  A solider has been charged with murder of another coperal. They also found the body in a army barracks.

- Voicer. They used this format as they cut to another reporter where she included information on the story. This is good as it shows an expert on the story so they know what their talking about. It also has emotion in it as someone has been killed so it shows sadness towards the listener. The detail is explained a lot due to try and show the emotion within the story. I would include an soundbite with another solider who worked with the victim to show about how people are annoyed at the fact hes gone.

3 – Michael Suchmaker health after his skiing accident that left him in a coma.

-Copy Only. They used this format as they wanted to focus on the main facts and how he is doing because that’s what people are most turned too. This is due to him being a big global icon that people look up too and are intrested in. It brings emotion into the story due to him fighting for his life which comes across as hard news as he is popular in the public eye and death is not a nice thing. This is Negativity. I would of maybe added a soundbite of a doctor on cases such as skiing accidents.

4-  Newcastle United Youth Football team and also the headbutt by Alan Pardew on Hull City’s David Meyler.

-Copy and Audio. They used this format as they wanted to bring in the big story of Pardews attack. They wanted then to add the clip of the psychologist on what effects the behaviour off the manager to give another point of view of him to show the audience the other sides of the story. It also lets the audio tell the story which creates an impact on what the audience think.

5 – Ed Milband and the EU , Wethear or not Britian wants to be a part of it anymore.

-Copy only. This format was used as the story is self explanatory and has been in the news for a few weeks which is a currency news value. It is also a sized story as it effects everyone. It intrests more people that are into politics so they would of kept the story short as it is not as intresting.

6- Coal miners strike 30 years ago.

-Copy and Audio. This format is used as they want to include a soundbite of an interview with a Ex-Minor who striked on that day. This is too bring back memories to the older audience as it is can come across as a remberance. This will bring emotion as it will bring back memories too the minors and also people who remember the time it happened.

7 – National Smoking Day

-Copy. This is used because it is easy to explain as it says in the title. It is more to make people aware of the day and also that they should do it which promotes it. It could bring emotion as people could of lost family members etc due to things such as lung cancer which could be due to smoking. I maybe would of included a clip of someone talking about how they lost someone as is would bring more people to stop for the day and also may scare people so they stop smoking.

8- Backside challenge with Robbie Savage and Alan Shearer.

-Copy and Audio. This format is used as they want to give a clip of the famous Shearer to show the locality of the radio station. It also is put last as it is more of a happy story and comes across more as showbiz. It also then links it back to the presenters so that they can go into introducing songs etc.

Metro Radio news stories

1 – Labour Budgets and interview with White Dee from Benefits Street.

-Copy and Audio. This format was used as they used an example of what the parliament spend their money on for Britian. It also shows a point of view on what they think the labour should spend their money on. This is a size story as it effects the majority of Britian. The interview also shows a point of view on money due to her not being very wealthy and having to live of a certain amount of money to be able to provide  for herself and her family.

2- Unemployment fallen in the North East

-Copy. This story is big due to the locality of the story and also how it can affect many peoples lives. It can show emotion as many people listening could be one of them who are unemployed which could make them keen to work. It also can come across as a motivatior for people to contact in so they can try and get a career.

3- Anumission and shotgun found in a bush near Ashington.

-Copy. This format is used as they want to be able to get the point across as they want people to come forward as someone could of got hurt. This could be related to hard news as the police are involved with this due to it may being a suspisous encounter.
