Brief and Introduction





Introduction

In the scenario for my assignment, I will be acting as a researcher working for BBC’s newsroom and will compile a style guide for new journalists on formats. My written report will compare and contrast a variety of radio news programmes. Across the assignment I will analyze the following: 


                    bulletins
                    headlines
                    news programmes
                    copy only
                    with audio clips
                    voicers
                    wraps
                    live cross
                    two way (live and ‘as-live’)


       Following this, I will look at the different styles of radio news and describe them in detail:

                    relation to audience
                    public service
                    commercial
                    community
                    small-scale
                    local
                    regional
                    national
                    internet, satellite and cable
