National/international News story - Disaster 

Here is the link to this news article:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/nov/14/officials-raise-iran-iraq-earthquake-death-toll-to-at-least-530
This news article states the raised death toll from Sunday's earthquake, on Iran-Iraq's border, to 530 deaths. Iranians officials have released these numbers and the Guardian has stated how this is the deadliest earthquake in the world this year. 

I have analysed this report for the 5W's and News values. Below is what I found: 

5W's

Who: The 530 people who died.
What: A powerful magnitude -7.3 earthquake, killing 530 people and injuring thousands more.
Where: Northern border region between Iran and Iraq.
When: 12th October 2017
Why: The underground rock suddenly broke along a fault. 

News Values

Amplitude: The earth quake was an extremely big event, involving very large amounts of people. For instance, it killed around 530 people, and has left 7,460 injured. 

Frequency: Earthquakes happen extremely often, dependent on which part of the world it is in. However, this earth quake was the biggest, most deadliest earth quake in 2017. 

Impact: This story has had a huge, devastating effect on thousands of people's lives living in the area where the earth quake hit. The story contains elements that could threaten people's lives who live in countries prone to earth quakes. 

Surprise: This event was a huge disaster with a huge amount of lives lost, which came as a massive surprise to families of those effected and others. 

Personalisation: The article states how 'Iran wept' over a very big photo of an Iranian women holding her lost family member in her arms. This is therefore a human interest story, as it has discussed people that were effected in an emotional way. 

Negativity: This news story is extremely negative as it is associated with death and injury from a natural disaster.

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

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 media comp
