Local News story 9 - Technology 

The link to this news story is below:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-42096047

This article is from BBC News and is about the Governments distribution of £190m of funding in order to help the roll-out of ultra-fast broadband across the UK  

 Following up reading the story, I have analyzed and found the 5W's

 5W's 
Who: The government 
What: The governments aim to offer speeds of up to 1Gbps to households and businesses with "full fibre" broadband 
Where: The UK
When: £1bn fund was first announced in 2016   
Why: In order to help the roll-out of ultra-fast broadband across the UK 

These news values dictate the importance of this news story:

News values
Familiarity: The news story is geographically close to the readers
Amplitude: This affects the whole of the UK's population
Frequency: The government are often spending very large sums of money that goes into funding certain things
Predictability: The government are often spending very large sums of money that goes into funding certain things, so we are expecting it to happen, and it is no surprise when it does 
Continuity: The first fund was announced in 2016, and is still continuing now 
Scandal: Many people may argue that the government should spend this money for more important causes, such as the NHS

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 -Th...

Evaluation - different institutions distribution

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 m...

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...
