National/international News story 6 - Health 

Here is a link to the news article:

 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-41929167

This news article is taken BBC News and talks about the association of sudden cardiac arrests with sexual activity. The article states how studies show sex as not being an underlying factor of cardiac arrests. 

I am going to analyze the article, and find the 5 W'S as well as the news values. Below is what I found:

5 W's

Who: Sumeet Chugh
What: Conducted a study about sexual activity causing sudden cardiac arrests 
Why: He is a doctor
When: Studies were conducted on reports of cardiac arrests between 2002 and 2015 
Where: Portland, Oregon

News Values 

 Impact: The findings of this report highlight the importance of educating the public about CPR, as everyone has a small chance of potentially suffering from a cardiac arrest at some point during their lives and most people engage in sexual activity.

 Amplitude: The article states how 90% of people suffering from a cardiac arrest end up dying, which is a big event.

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...

Dissimilar radio websites

After having looked at two radio websites which are similar to my radio station, I am now going to look at two radio websites which are dissimilar to my radio station. These two websites are going to be Magic and Talk Sport.  Magic radio website Magic's website has clearly been directed towards an older audience. Despite the colour scheme still being bright and appealing for younger people, and both genders, the presenter is older than the presenters on the other radio stations. This suggests that an older audience will tune into Magic as may feel as though what is being played is directed towards them more.  Unlike Radio 1 and Magic, these artists, such as Billy Jones, are more suited to an older audience as they are not as contemporary.  This image on their website references the 80's, which is a time period directed toward an older audience.  https://talksport.com/ Sports stations are usually targeted at male audiences; all...

Representation in News presenters

Throughout this post I am going to explore the ways in which News presenters come across to the audience whilst presenting the radio show. For instance, I will be taking note of voices used, language, 'banter', tone of voice and interactions with other presenters. In order to do this, I will be looking at two completely opposite types of radio stations; Kiss  and Magic. By doing this will help me to create the scripting for my own news bulletin.  The first radio show I am going to be looking at is Kiss. There were two presenters on this show, a young male and female. They both spoke in an informal manner, with a slow relaxed voice as well as having 'banter' with each other. An example of this is when they both started singing the lyrics to a Rihanna song, whilst laughing about it.  The second radio show news bulletin which I listened too was from Magic. The presenter on this show was an Older woman. Unlike the presenters on Capital, she spoke in a much more cl...
