WWW: Channel 4 News is an excellent choice of programme and you've found some important information as well as including video content.
ReplyDeleteEBI: You certainly need to go into target audience in much more detail for future media work (we'll be covering this in the next two weeks). Finally, you missed out on the last bit of the project - explaining why you think the stories appeared in the order they did.
LR: Do you regularly watch the programme you researched? Why/why not? Where do you get your news from? Answer in a comment below.
Q1: No I don't watch the news. Reason being that 50 mins is too long and I would prefer the BBC3 60 Second news as it is short, snappy, and summarises the stories in a sentence or two.
ReplyDeleteQ2: I got some of my news from the official site and others from the OFCOM site.
