TV News Research

Research 
  • Title, date and time of bulletin: The titles is BBC News.The date is 14.06.2013 and the time was at 9pm.
  • Presenters was an aged woman named Marteen Croxil
  • News stories covered- main story was about the syria conflict. Then it moves onto talking about surgeons who are not allowed to publish their results because of the government. Lastly there was a talk about the iran election.
  • Use of graphics, animation, video packages, interviews and live links- There was a pop up annotation of the different News stories. There was also a logo up on the right hand side which said the channel of the news. No animation.
  • Use of modern or digital technology- Where there was an establishing shot there was a big TV on sight which is modern technology.
  • Anything that encourages the audience to keep watching (dramatic video, animated graphics, previews of news or features later in the programme etc.) There was a dramatic beat in the background as the news started.


3) Research the institutions behind your two TV News programmes. Find out the following for each:

  • Who owns or controls the institution- BBC
  • How the institution is funded or makes money- They get money from a TV License but they're a non profit company.
  • Any controversial issues or complaints that the institution has had to deal with in recent years-  Paedophile scandal regarding Jimmy Savile. 

4) Find out the target audience for your one TV News programmes. You should be able to find a detailed breakdown online if you search intelligently. If you cannot find anything, write what you think the target audience for the programme would be and why.
30-80 with the reasons of the fact that the TV news of BBC which starts at 9pm is quite mature which wouldn't really interest teenagers or young adults.
