News Values

News story

I will be researching a large number of exiting news stories, I am going to look into how the news is presented in newspapers, and on TV and online news stories.
the best way to define news stories is to describe them into the form of the'5Ws' used by journalists as a formula for getting the full story.

Who is it about?
What happened?
Where did it take place?
When did it take place?
Why did it happen?
How did it happen (this information come later in the story)

Journalists and the other professional writers use the 'Five Ws' to make sure that they get enough information to write a good developed article.

News value

Not only will I be looking at news stories, but I am going to be researching news values as well. News values are the important or intrest value of an event, they are the factors that influence whether a story will be picked for coverage.

News values that I will be looking at are    

Immediacy: Has it happened recently? Is the story "breaking"?

Familiarity: Is it5 culturally or geographically close to us in London/Britain/Europe/ the USA?

Amplitude: Is it a big event or one which involves large number of people?

Frequency: Does the even happen often?

Impact: Can we identify with the story as having a profound effect on our own lives? does the story contain elements that would make us feel threatened?

Predictability: Did we expect it to happen?

Surprise: Is it an unusual or unexpected event?

Continuity: has this story already been defined as news? is it part of an on-going or long-running story?

Conflict: Does the story contain drama in describing disagreement, argument, fights or battles between two or more people/organisations?

Elite people: Does the story concern well-known people, such as celebrities?

Personalisation: Is it a human interest story?

Negativity: Is it bad news?

Scandal: Is the story likely to provoke moral outrage from parts of the audience?

Balance: The story may be selected to balance other news, such as a human survival story to balance a number of stories concerning death

Pictures Of Making Preliminary Task

I have took a number of pictures of the making of my preliminary task.

Response To My Preliminary Task

The preliminary task I Felt was a good start to my AS Media studies course because i got to get used to record people and edit their mistakes and getting and feel for the equipment. The challenges I went through when I recorded my Preliminary task was who should be the presenter, star, reporter etc. I have learned that how I should carefully chose who should be on my radio.





In the proccess of making and proccessing my Preliminary task

Making and proccessing my Preliminary Task I had to edit the voices of the characters playing the part.

for example:

Tom and Ariana with out editing

Tom with out editing.

In order to make your radio good t is all about how you record it and all the effects you put with it and when and where you place all of the effects to make the radio sound the way radio is supposed to sound.
