Evaluation of news broadcast

Evaluation of news broadcast

I along with 2 other students have prepared and recorded a radio show with 6 national and 6 local news stories I was tasked of finding 4 national news stories. I begun planning for this by researching online on websites like http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ and http://www.theguardian.com/uk for n indication of what national news stories there were currently in the news. I picked three important national news stories like the abducted girls in Nigeria and an entertainment story to end with once I had my four stories I had to write up a script to use while recording the news show. I had to write the stories in what order I was going to read them. I wrote my script in a BBC radio newsbeat format making sure I used the queens English and the right tone this also shows in the types of stories I’ve chosen like the story about the Gary Barlow tax scandal is a typical type of story they would use on a BBC show.

I if I was to do my news broadcast again what I would change would be to include pronunciations of words into the script as I struggled to pronounce some during the recording.
