BBC- are more of a formal company, using graphics to illustrate the story and experts to back up the opinions used. During the program the stories were in order of importance decided by producers, their stories were;
- Banks Under Investigation (Financial)
- Labour Leader (Politics)
- Teenager school threat (Crime)
- Jimmy Savile (Crime)
- Belgium Riots (International)
- Obituary of Guitarist (Human Interest)
- Syria (International)
- UK what next? (Political)
- Murder charges (Law)
- Bird of Prey (Human Interest)
- Flanders Fields ( Human Interest)
- Rugby (Human Interest/Sport)
Channel 5- lots of graphics in terms of illustration, more inventive use of graphics. The stories in order were;
- Petrol Prices (Money)
- Labour Leader (Politics)
- 7 year old injured (Law)
- Bank Investigation (Financial)
- Uniform Issues (Education)
- Gang Warning (Crime)
- Remembrance (Human Interest)
- Protests in Belgium (International)
- Fall in Sales (Money)
- House of Lords (Politics)
- Pippa Middleton (Human Interest)
I have decided which compartment of the news the stories has come under buy Google-ing the stories and seeing what subsection they are under.
BBC focus more on Hard news (crime and law) then on soft (human interest). Channel 5 focus on what the producer will think their target audience want whereas BBC need to focus on more as they are reaching to a wider audience due to them being a public service broadcaster.
The books I have used to look into these broadcasters are;
- The Television Genre Books
- Broadcast Journalism
- Organisations
- Audiences
- Ideologies
- Producing the news
- Hard and Soft news
- Competition between broadcasters
- Ownership
- Public Service Broadcasting
While looking into the theories I decided that my order would be;
- Intro
- What is News?
- Ideologies and Experts
- Audience
- Running Order
- Organisations
- Style
