In What Ways Does Your Media Product

Use, Develop or Challenge Forms and Conventions of Real

Media Products?

Our radio newscast uses, develops or challenges forms and conventions of radios as...

We portray our news in order of importance like most radio

stations e.g. We started off with a story of death, then crime, sports

and finally ended it with the softest news, fashion.

We had the headlines introduced at the beginning like typical radio stations.

Unlike other stations, we had two lively presenters instead of one who spoke loud and clearly and

joked in appropriate situations to make it fun for the listeners.

We included sound effects in the newscasts e.g. Background music,

bicycle bells etc. This kept the audience interested in the stories as they were not just listening to

our voices.

Instead of just stating the news stories on air, we went out and did

voxpop, interviews, outside broadcasts and we also made

interview calls straight from the studio.

We used some informal language while addressing the audience instead of speaking formally as

our main audience are teenagers.
