Introduction to Radio News Bulletins

In the next few posts, I am going to look at 3 different news bulletins from 2 radio stations; BBC Radio 2, talkSport, and Magic. I am going to listen to the news from 6pm on Wednesday 13th November 2013.

While I am listening to the news on the radio, I am going to analyse different aspects of the news, so as to help me understand what is important in making a successful news bulletin, and what is needed to do this. I am going to compare and contrast the different styles of news bulletins, as well as looking at the running order, the facts included, and the news values of each stories. An important thing I will look at is the type of news included in the 3 shows. They are all different style shows, with different audiences, and therefore it will be interesting to see what news stories will be deemed important enough to make it on their news.

Analysing these news bulletins will help me when I come to making my news bulletin for my radio station, as it will help me understand what is needed to in order to make a realistic news bulletin.
