This news article is about a head teacher at a primary school in Leeds who bans her pupils from having to take SAT's due to her seeing how upset it made them last year
Following up reading the story I have analyzed and found the 5W's

5W's 

Who: Headteacher Jill Wood 
What: Headteacher has decided not to enter the pupils into taking their SAT's, even if it means putting her job on the line. 
Where: Little London primary school Leeds 
When: The start of this academic year 
Why: She argues she saw too many children crying over the stress and pressure of having to take exams last year

These news values dictate the importance of this news story:


News Values

Familiarity: This article is geographically close to the readers, discussing news stories which have happend in the country
Amplitude: The Head teacher changing the way in which students are assessed at this school, will have an effect on all the pupils 
Surprise: It is quite uncommon for Head teachers of schools to abolish written examinations of students, as it is a traditional method of testing pupils
Personalisation: The news story mentions how the abolishment of SAT's happend due to the amount of children that were 'sobbing' last year
Scandal: Many parents of students at this school may argue that SAT's are the correct method of measuring whether their children are succeeding throughout their education

Different types of jingles

-
After listening to a variety of different radio stations, I have concluded that there a number of different kinds of jingles on each station.  The site below includes many of the different types of jingles. I have used this as part of my research.  http://www.music4.com/radiojingles 1) Weather Jingles  -The tone of weather jingles are usually a lot softer than other jingles -They sometimes include sound effects (e.g. of the weather) -Weather jingles for weather reports are usually played in the morning, so listeners have an outlook for the rest of their day  -Weather jingles will include the name of their station, and often have the word 'weather' at the end  -Companies usually sponsor weather jingles 2) Travel and traffic Jingles  -Travel and traffic jingles include the name of the station, with the word travel or traffic at the end -These jingles do not always have music playing, sometimes they will have sounds of traffic in at the end -There will sometimes be

Evaluation - technologies

Throughout the whole process of creating my radio show and developing my research and planning I used a large range of different technologies. The technologies I used have been significant in enabling me to produce work to my highest standard. Although some of the technology was slightly complicated, I managed to quickly understand how to use it all. The high variety of different software and hardwares lead me to my ideas and creativity. Since first creating my Blogger account, gradually I found it a lot easier to insert hyperlinks, audio and images.  Blogger Blogger is what I have used to complete my research and planning, along with my evaluations. For instance, It has allowed me to complete my tasks, write about them, include images, links, videos, music as well as acting as the template to my final radio show. Within my evaluation, I have been able to link certain blog posts, to help me refer back to my previous work. Moreover, there is a very clear layout and

My final radio show is called North Side fm, and is a local radio show, targeted towards younger listeners within North London. I portrayed this through the news stories being locally situated within this area, by choosing adverts which I felt would appeal to a target audience of 16-28 year olds and creating a jingle which made reference to North London.  My radio show is similar to existing radio stations, such as Kiss and Capital FM, in relation to the kinds of contemporary chart music they play, which is based for a similar target audience, in reference to age and gender, as mine is. Despite these similarities, our stations differ on the basis of the kinds of news stories which are included in their news bulletin. For instance, Kiss and Capital share a lot of national news stories as well as local news stories around london, whilst Northside fm focuses on purely local stories which have happened within the area that the show is broadcasted in.  Global is a British media comp
