Introduction to the News
On the 12th of June 2018 at 7pm BBC News covered international news stories including Kim Jong Un's 'unwavering commitment to denuclearisation' and congresses opinions on this historical summit along with opinions on Brexit. They were shown in an unexpected order as Donald Trumps summit was the main headline which shows that it wasn't in order of British familiarity. Instead the news story that has been the talk of Britain since it started was placed last in the running order.
Like every BBC news programme it started with the ticking clock being played continuously behind the news readers reading the main headlines of the day. This symbolises that they provide round the clock news and updates from round the world.
This piece had two presenters: Katty Kay, 53 years old, female; and Christian Fraser, 45, male. A newsreader is a person that presents either regional, national or international news stories on TV or radio. A newsreader will need to have excellent communication skills along with performance skills and a clear voice with good diction and pronunciation.They will need to have a good personality and confidence as well as skills in interviewing and the ability to generate original ideas.
News ordering is the order in which stories, this is decided through familiarity, immediacy and amplitude. The list that tells you what order the stories will be in is called the story list. The story most likely to be shown first is the one that happened most recently and its relevance to the UK. The rest of the stories appear in order of importance, immediacy and seriousness. The ability to think quickly and act fast is important for a newsreader as they will have to present breaking news coherently. A slow news day is where programmes present more trivial topics due to lack of more substantial stories. The final story is often called the kicker and it tends to be a more light-hearted story to relieve the public after the serious news.News values are general guidelines used by media outlets such as newspapers or broadcast media. It's to determine how much prominence to give a story.
An example of immediacy would be the summit with Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump as it has happened very recently. An example of familiarity would be the Brexit talks as it is directly linked with British culture and society at the moment. An example of amplitude would be the Grenfell Tower fire as it affected a lot of people. The summit would also be an example of frequency as it does not happen very often. Finally an example of unambiguity would be the UK getting sabotaged at Eurovision as it is clear and definitive.
Bias through selection and omission is where an editor can choose whether or not they want to use a certain news story. Within a story, some details can be ignored, others can be included to give readers or viewers a different opinion about the events reported. Only by comparing news reports from a wide variety of sources can this type of bias be observed. For example if someone booed at a Donald Trump speech the booing can be described as "remarks greeted by jeers" or the boos can be ignored as "a handful of people who disagree".
Bias through placement is Where a story is placed influences what a person thinks about its importance. Stories on the front page of the newspaper are thought to be more important than stories buried in the back. Tiger Woods wins TIME's cover space on the August 14, 2000 vol. 156 no. 7 issue. Coverage of the Republican National Convention begins on page 26.
Bias by photos, captions, and camera angles means that pictures can make a person look good, bad, silly, etc. Which photos a news producer chooses to run can heavily influence the public's perception of a person or event. For example when Melania Trump was listening to her husband the President talk the media used this to try and imply that she was not happy in her position of first lady.
Bias through use of names and titles is when news media often use labels and titles to describe people, places, and events. In many places around the world, one person's friend is another person's enemy. A person can be called an "ex-con" or be referred to as someone who "served time for a drug charge". For example 'Trump picks Sessions as attorney general'.
Bias by choice of words is when people can be influenced by the use of positive or negative words with a certain connotation. People can also be influenced by the tone that a newscaster uses when saying certain words.
