.Why do you think the editors of the news programme chose those stories and put them in that order:
  The order they put the news in is: National news, politic/education/entertainment and then the sport     story.

They editors of the news programmes chose this story and put them in this order because the audience would want to know whats happening in the world, then they would want to know whats happening in the UK. The reason the national news comes first is because a lot of crisis has been going on in other countries then the UK.

T.V news buttetin

 

1. What are the five stories your group chose to broadcast?

 Greenford story: Rounders team won league 

 National story: Oscar Pitorius"suicidal risk"

 London story: 23 year old died in east-London

 Sport story: Belgium win and USA lose

  Funny story: A women gives birth outside Primark in Birmingham

2. For each story above, explain why you chose that particular story and not something else. Why would it interest a Greenford audience?

Greenford news story: We chose this story because it is a new story that has just came out in Greenford high school and I think the Greenford audience would be interested because it is the first time that the rounders team played 8 games and won all of them.

National news story: We chose this story because the Olympic athlete trial has been going on for a year and it would probably interest the Greenford audience because it is about sports and everyone would want to know if he actually killed his girlfriend.

London news story: We chose this story because it is not everyday we hear a man getting killed because of a punching game online. The Greenford audience would be interested because they would want to know what caused to die or if he was committing suicide.

Sports news story: We chose this story because everyone thought that USA was going to win the game but everyone was surprised that Belgium won. The Greenford audience would be interested because everyone is supporting a football team and they would want to know who won.

Funny news story: We chose this story because this is the first time something like this has been heard on the news. I think that Greenford audience would like it because they would think something like this is unusual.

3. What order did you broadcast the story in? Why did you place the stories in order?

We put the Greenford news story first, then National news story, London news story, Sports story and then the Funny story last. We put them in that order because we wanted a happy story in the beginning and then it with a happy story at the end.

4. How did you make sure the script was the right length?

They timed how long it took me to say everything on the length.

5. How did you make sure each story was clear and easy to understand?

They made me to go over it, so I don't pause in the middle and I know what I am going to say.

6. How did you make sure the broadcast was professional?

We tried making the script professional as other news reporter would sound.

7. What was your specific role in the group?

My specific role was being the reporter in the group.#

8. Rate your group's ability to work collaboratively out of 5(1=poor, 5=excellent)

I would rate it 4 out of 5.

9. How could your group have worked effectively as a team?

I think we could have given more different ideas in the group.

10.Finally, what would you have done differently if you were given the opportunity to do this again?

I would have wanted to speak out clearly and not to fast and another thing I would have wanted to do is when I was reporting I should have stopped looking at the paper every second.
