Negativity
This a negative news story and the most horrific of all time. This is 9/11 in which was caught on video and was an international story which covered all headlines, bulletins and news covers. It included many deaths and a terrorist attack.
Closeness to home
This is a closeness to home news story which was a horrific story because a young teenage girl Alice was found dead after been missing for around a month. It covered newspapers and bulletins and news storys.

representation and bias
1) Sky News has used the police's perspective and point of view to present this story.
2) The police are represented as innocent victims and are presented as people who were trying to help the residents.
3) Young people are represented as malevolent adolescents and are shown to be causing havoc to the town.
4) Sky News chose videos of young people throwing petrol bombs at the police to accompany the news stories. This shows the young people as inconsiderate people who are causing harm to innocent residents. They also showed videos of burning buses and buildings which were set on fire by the young people.
5) The presenters use words like "claim" and "it appears" to show that they are not being unjust towards the police and are trying to show that the young people were "looting" stores. This makes them sound like rowdy, disobedient children.
6) Sky News believes that the most important aspect of the story is the fact that 8 police officers have been hospitalised and injured because of the riots.
7) Narrative is used by chronologically presenting the story so that it makes sense. It is ongoing and it keeps the audience engaged.
8) This news coverage has an equilibrium and a disequilibrium however there is no new equilibrium as it does not show a result of what is going to happen.
9) Sky News creates heroes and villains therefore it applies to Propps' character theory.
10) If citizen journalism was used it would have shown two sides of the story and the news report would have been less biased. It would show why the young people reacted how they did and it would have shown how the police would have defended themselves.

2) I chose:
2) I chose:
- Two prisoners convicted of armed robbery have escaped from Wormwood Scrubs prison in West London.
- 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 well-known politician has been named on Twitter as being investigated by police for fraud.
- David Cameron's office has announced he will be visiting Washington next week to meet President Obama.
- 20 people were killed in 15 different road accidents over the previous weekend.
3) Personal Identity appeals to the target audience because the crime involved could affect us. We could be the victims of what is going on.
4) Channel 4 News. The running order that I choose is:
- Gunfire has been reported on the streets of Moscow although there are no details as yet regarding who has opened fire or why.
- Israel has shelled a residential area of Gaza killing around 25 civilians.
- A woman has been convicted of murdering her husband. He was a wealthy banker and she's a stay-at-home.
- A well-known politician has been named on Twitter as being investigated by police for fraud.
- Cheryl Cole has announced that she is pregnant.
5) These stories fit the target audience for Channel 4 news because they are mainly serious news of international stories.

Case study 3: news stories covering start of General Election campaign 2015
1) What is the angle of a news story? Give an example to explain your answer.
The news angle is the perspective that the new provider take on a certain event changing the angle can significantly alter the way a news story is reported. For example when Sky news was presenting the story about the General Election they only focused on the Conservative Party which is biased. 2) What is the difference between tabloid and broadsheet news coverage?
Tabloids have less serious content and focuses on celebrities, sport and crime whereas Broadsheets are more serious focusing on economics, politics and international news.3) What would be an example of a tabloid-style TV news programme?
Stv news is an example because it is regional it mainly focuses on Scottish TV when there are other things happening it the world apart from just there region.4) What would be an example of a broadsheet-style TV news programme?
Channel 4 is a broadsheet style TV programme because it is balanced and focuses on international news, politics and global news.5) What is the difference between international, national, regional and local news coverage?
International: world news
National: UK wide-news
Regional: London/Yorkshire/Scotland
Local: West London, Leeds, Edinburgh
BBC
1) Is this international, national, regional or local news? How can you tell?
This news is national because it is to do with politics; our government are debating and it is the general election which could affect our country as a whole.
2) What angle does the report take on the story?
They have a strong angle because both David Cameron and Ed Miliband want to do what's best for the UK. They both have equal times on the programme to speak so it is balanced in terms of the angle of the reports takes place.
3) Is this more tabloid or broadsheet-style coverage?
This is more broadsheet-style because it is formal.4) What kind of audience would you expect to watch this type of TV news programme? Why?
Class AB
UK citizens

The angle Scottish TV takes on is very biased due to the fact their main focus is Scottish news and talk about more about the Scottish election rather than an international view or a full coverage of other parties.3) Is this more tabloid or broadsheet-style coverage?
This is a broadsheet coverage due to the fact it does include politics and a give a very imformative bit of news. it is also tabloid because selfies were taken in the bulliten .4) What kind of audience would you expect to watch this type of TV news programme? Why?
I would expect a young audience than expected or a family audience because of the type of language and understanding of this programme.
