outside broadcast:

views of other

people and to

answer

questions the

audience may

have about the

story

FORMALITY AND INFORMALITY

We spoke formally and addressed each story individually; this augments our newscast so the audience are able to understand the level of seriousness.

We also spoke informally, we put all the seriousness aside and spoke calmly and with ease so our audience feel relaxed too.

WEATHER

A quick weather forecast was used to give a brief outline on how the day will be like

HEADLINES

We used headlines to introduce our story hence the audience would be aware of what will be covered for the day’s news.

NAME AND SLOGAN

Slogan:

Similar to a real newscast we used a slogan ‘listen to the stars’ to match our name and also to attract mass audience.

Radio name:

A radio name is

used so the

audience can

refer to us and

rate our newscast

CONTACT INFORMATION

In order to stay in contact with our audience and fans, we gave them our email address, twitter and facebook name.
