Case Study 3 General Election 2015

WHAT I'VE LEARNED

1. The angle of a news story is the perspective or point of view. The angle is also how the news story has been presented.

2. Tabloid news stories are stories such as: sex scandals, sports etc. On the other hand, broadsheet news stories are more serious like the 700-900 immigrants that were killed on their most dangerous journey in a little ship over the Medditeranean Ocean to escape from the conflicts that are happening in Syria etc.

3. Sky News.

4. Channel 4 News.

5. The international news is when the news story is abroad for example the immigrants going over the Mediterranean Ocean. The national news is news that is in the UK an example of this would be the general election for 2015. Regional news are stories which are concentrated on a part of a country like West London. Local news would be an incident that happened in a local area for example a stabbing in West London.

BBC NEWS COVERAGE

1. In my opinion, it is national news as the parties of the government a which are faced 'tough questions' from their audience talk mostly about things that are happening and going to happen in the United Kingdom. For example Ed Miliband talks about schools that are being built all over the UK.

2. The news story angle is the different party leaders arguing about things such as the ISIS and whether a nuclear weapon should be used to stop the attacks. They all have different points of view on who is a better party leader and who will succeed as the leader of our country.

3. The BBC News covers the news in a broadsheet style as their stories are designed for a more mature audience than some other news programs. They talk a lot about people that are in the government  and party leaders. A younger audience wouldn't be as interested in politics as their parents e.t.c.

4. In my opinion, an older audience would be more suitable for the BBC News as they discuss serious stories and they talk mostly about politics. Younger people are not really interested in the politics however some children may be interested in what is happening around the world and what things might happen and affect them.

SKY NEWS COVERAGE

1&2. National as the angle of the story is based on the English government and what the new leader that is going to be voted for is going to do.

3. Sky News presents its news on TV as a tabloid as there are lots of graphics and they present their news in a jokey way so that it also suits for a younger audience as well as an older audience.
