Representation in News presenters

Image
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

Conventions of Radio News Bulletins

Within this post I am going to be looking at the conventions of news bulletins that appear, regardless of the type of station; e.g. jingles, music and presenters.   Below are some of the conventions I will be looking at:  1) Vox pops Vox pops are members of the public who are commenting on the story, along with giving their opinions. There could be an extended Vox pop, or 2 or more people after eachother. 2) Outside broadcast's Outside broadcast's are when radio or television programmed are broadcasted or recorded live on location and not in an actual studio.  3) Going to a correspondant  This is when someone, who works for the radio station, has gone live at the scene of the story  4) Sound bites  Sound bites are a short extract from a recorded speech or interview. They are often a piece of dialogue, said by a person who is directly involved in the story, or an elite person. Sound bites are never from someone who is just passing by, they ar

Similarities and differences between bulletins

After listening to three different news bulletins; Talk Sport, Radio 2 and Kerrang, along with contrasting the running order, facts and news values of each bulletin, I am now going to analyse each of the similarities and differences.  Across all three radio stations I listened too, they all contained at least one of the same news story.  For example, all three stations included the story about Lauri Love facing hacking charges. Both Radio 2 and Kerrang bulletins contained the story about Ethan Stables having been convicted over Gay Pride attack plan, however Talk Sport didn't contain this story.  However, some stories such as Harry Kane's denial of diving in the premier league, only appeared on Talk Sport. This is because most of the people who tune into this station are interested in sports stories, which wouldn't necessarily be reported in other radio stations such as Radio 2 and Kerrang.  Kerrang was the only radio station to include the story about Mc
