The clip below is of heart Oxford (102.6) news. This extract was taken on 21st January 2010. When drive cooking or whatever people do when they are interacting with the radio people like to have a bit off information given to them. This news flash only last for just over a minute. During this new flash they are using a number of different news values.
“news values” – Galtung and Rung (1965) described the practices of journalists and editors as the use of “news values”. These values help us understand why some kinds of stories appear more prominently in the news than other, and how the narrative of news, as a result, tends to have a familiar, shared structure e.g. weather & travel, international news, local news, celebrity news & sport.
The first news story is about Hatti and how Simon Cowell is pulling people together to record a song. This is a frequency. A frequency is where the news fits the schedule. In this piece of the extract this is used because the radio will soon have a new song which will be used in the broadcasting of the show. This is also Elitism/ celerity, this is where the story is basted around a celebrity e.g. Simon Cowell, Lady GaGa ext. This makes the audience want to listen to the story more because they may feel like know the celeb and they want to know what they are getting up to. This story is also continuity. This is a story with legs. This story is about the miracle children who survived the quake, this is also a frequency. This story is used on a local radio station but it is international news. I think they uses this story because it makes people relate to the people who were affected by the earthquake and make them think about ways in which they can help.
The next story line is about a man who attacked and injured a burglar has had is jail sentence lifted today near Bister, Brittan’s top police officer said “people who defend then selves should not be left to feel glity.” This story uses Threshold; this is where local news is used to show the importance of an event. This even is important for the local community but community’s surrounding the area. It also tells the person about local news in their area. This story is also simplicity; this is where the local community to understand local heroes and villains. In this story the man who was charged is the hero but he is being treated like a villain. This is also human interest; local stories that create empathy. This story is told to the public because it want the local community to know what happened to this man and for them to see what are government is doing.
The next story is about Avitar and the nominations in which it has received at the bafters. It has been nominatead for best director and best film. In this extract they are using the theory of Elitism/ celerity. This is because it is a James Camron Film. James Camron is a well known director (he directed Titanic). This story is also continuity; this is because the news has changes from the film to who will win best actor. I believe this is used to make the audience compare the actors and maybe find out how they can vote.
That Radio end by telling people to look at their web and see picture from the NTV awards. I believe this is used to get people onto the web site and make them look around and find out a bit about heart.
