News Broad Cast Task
The new broadcast which I watched was on the BBC Afternoon News, on June 22nd, 2017. The stories that were broadcasted are;
- EU leasders who headed to Brussels to discuss Brexit.
- A former bishop convicted of abusing young men
- A famous mosk is blown up by the Islamic State
- Prince Harry tells an American magazine that nobody in the royal family wants to be king or queen, but they will do it for the greater good
- The royal Ascot
- NHS Trust is to be senteced after a mentally ill patient fell to his death
In the opening sequence the camera slowly zoomed into the woman presenting the news broadcast, whilst she went straight into her first news story, which was one that grabbed the readers attention, (the tower block fire). The backing music is also quite dramatic which i think informs the viewers that something serious is being broadcasted.
The news broadcaster in this BBC afternoon news, is Sophie Raworth, who was born May 15th, 1968, and is 49 years old.

The role of the broadcaster (news anchor) is to present the news given in a very formal, and serious manor. They also require the skills of confidence, and speaking clear and loudly on camera. Sometimes the news anchor may have to draft up and then write their stories which they present.
News Ordering, is the order that the script and stories are read and placed into the programme for television. There are many different roles behind a news broadcast, however, a news anchor is one of the most important roles. For example if they have 'breaking news', then the news anchor will have to address this news quite quickly, whilst remaining calm and confident presenting the information given. Huw Edwards gives is opinion and advice that the most important news story should be placed at the top of the broadcast, and the least important at the bottom. This first story is the one that grabs the viewers attention, and can affect how many people that watch the show.
A 'slow news day', is when the news stories presented on that day are less substantial and exciting as news stories on other days. The final story of a news broadcast is usually a less important news story that is quite light,a 'light-hearted story', and is often followed by a weather report, to close the broadcast.
'News values', are the guides for the news, used by the media. They are important for understanding news production. It also determines how much prominence a news story is given. This was first analysed by J. Galtung and M. Ruge. They done this by putting together 12 factors from newspapers and broadcasts, to determine their news 'worthiness'.
Bias in placement is the manipulation of the news ordering. Bias in headlines is when the headlines can be misleading, as they are printed in huge font. Bias through selection and omission, is when an editor can choose whether or not to use specific news stories. Bias through shot selection and camera angles, is when the photos taken or angle of the camera can make a person look bad, to change the viewers opinions on the presented person. Bias through use of names and titles, is when the media have used labels or titles to describe a person. Finally, bias by choice of words, is when the media and viewers are influenced by the negative and positive descriptions given about a person.
