2) The five stories I had chosen were (in order) The Prince Harry engagement, The tweet by Miley Cyrus that caused an uproar because of her mild response*, Lady Gaga spotted jogging in Hyde Park, Cheryl Cole's announcement of pregnancy, and Sherlock's success in viewing figures.
- The reason I had chosen Prince Harry's Engagement first is because it is a national story that many will be interested in.
- I had chosen the uproar in twitter next between Miley Cyrus and her response to a fan second is because Miley Cyrus is a famous celebrity which people may recognise. However we could've picked the prisoners escape which would make much more sense at it is a story that can be easily summarised.
- The next story is Lady Gaga spotted jogging at Hyde Park. This isn't very important news quite like the last, however there is a famous celebrity featured in the story that may intrigue some viewers.
- And I had finally chosen Sherlock's success in viewing figures. This also isn't important, but the drama Sherlock is owned by BBC so they may try and promote their products by praising it. This could also make viewers interested but not as interested as the engagement so it was placed last.
3) The engagement with Prince Harry is an example of diversion. This is because of the fact that people are being more interested at Prince Harry's engagement rather than their own lives as a source of entertainment to make them less worry about themselves for the times being. This could appeal to the target audience as they would tend to watch dramas that could have a similar factor to this story.
4) Programme: Channel 4 News
Running Order (in order)
- Israel has shelled a residential area of Gaza killing around 25 civilians
- Gunfire has been reported on the streets of Moscow although no there are no details as yet regarding who has opened fire or why.
- An anti-austerity march against government cuts has been held in London today and was attended by 50,000 people. The protest was calm.
- A woman has been convicted of murdering her husband. He was a wealthy banker and she a stay-at-home mum.
- David Cameron’s office has announced he will be visiting Washington next week to meet President Obama.
5) I had picked Isreal's attack on Gaza first because Channel 4 is an International news programme that may intrigue many of it's viewers and possibly made for their target audience.
The mysterious gunfire at Moscow was placed second as it is another story that people could be interested in especially since it is another story that could interest it's viewers.
At third place is the protest which could affect many of it's viewers located at London who could be informed of why the protests have happened which can interest alot of its viewers.
After that is the woman being convicted of murdering her husband. This may be more tailored to a younger audience as young people tend to like stories linked to crime.
And finally, there is the meeting between Obama and David Cameron. It had been placed last as the meeting is going to occur next week so it won't be as major as a stabbing or the mysterious gunshot which may have been recent stories so it was placed last.
