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

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.

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

This is an international news programme because yes it does present a load of Scottish news but also what happens in London for example the general election.2) What angle does the report take on the story?
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.
