What order are the stories in?
The stories seemed to be in order of what effects us the most, being the banking story first, athlete and then ISIS as them two stories was not really effect the UK.
The presenters
The presenters seemed to have a good relationship with the other staff, however when the guest was on discussing ISIS I could not help noticing that the presenter looked/ felt a bit awkward.
Once the very serious news stories where presented the presenters then distract you from these threats that they have just discussed by then talking and showing you the fun and silly ones. This is a very good persuasion techniques to keep people in the loop of their news program as they're giving you the bad stories that you wish to hear however to keep the whole population from becoming sad and depressed they then distract you and make you feel a bit better.
However there is some controversy about the news as you hear about banks being fined over over-charging people even though that one owner/manager or the bank which is involved also owns' is manger of the BBC. This makes you question why they then mention that bank.
Can the news be bias?
Most defiantly! The news have control on what news they can reveal or not, plus they can manipulate it in any way that they would like for their own interests or personal/ corporate agenda. Just like the banking example I discussed above. In the photo on the right, it shows how the BBC show their agenda with such examples like "the overwhelming majority of Syrians are Muslims, the use of "overwhelming" is a negative word making it seem that its a bad thing or a problem.
News values
Galtung and Ruge in 1965 analysed international news to find out what factors where in common. This table is what they found. ----->-------->-------->
An example of negativity in the news would be the example that I've already used with the Israel and Syria profiles.
An example of closeness would of been when the Napal earthquake happened in 2015 although that happened in another country the BBC not only brought in the news to show world news but also shows that Brits were effected in this sadly foreign disaster.
Recency is very important and prove to me a mistake. Obviously you want to the first person/ news agent to reveal a new story/scoop before everyone else does however if you do without the right facts and the truth comes out and your in anyway wrong, your credibility and audience will decrease.
An excellent example of currency would be the Madaline Mccan case. Her case when it was first brought forward lasted on the news everyday for about 2/3 weeks however other cases come forward and other news stories and makes that one now seen forgotten. Although nothing relatively new has happened to the case, each year at the time of her abduction her case is brought into the medias attention again to make people not forget and remind everyone that her case is still on-going.
Continuity is always used in the news and is often used for stories such as war, giving you the daily updates of whats happening. An example of this would be the war timeline of the War in the Gulf used by the BBC and an up-to-date version would be the daily updates we get of ISIS in the news.
Uniqueness is usually presented on TV news at the end as explained above. Examples of this would be <-----------------
Simplicity is used when there's no need <----- to sugar-coat the news.
Personality is always used in the media especially when it involves the royal family and any celebrities in celebrity magazines and TV.
Expectedness (predictability) is a perfectly used on the royal family, especially Kate and William. Anything that they do is mentioned in some sort of newspaper/ magazine and often get sovereign posters in newspapers of their and their children's photos.
The same happens to elite nations or people, besides the royal family other people such a David Cameron will be newsworthy whatever he does.
Exclusives are a great way to make the popularity of your media business go up however they may be very expensive as you'll have to pay for them.
Size is important as it shows the importance of the article. Big ones need a lot of explanation and they contain more information as they've done more research. Whereas for a small story not a lot of infomation is needed to be
shown/ explained.
