Looking back on the Talbot FM News Day, there were a number of elements in which to improve upon. 1200 News Bulletin
British Couple Kidnapped by Somali Pirates
The top story of the 1200 news bulletin lacked audio, which is a key element for a leading story. Furthermore, for legal reasons, it would have been more appropriate to have said 'unconfirmed reports claim that the boat has been seized by Somali pirates.'
Poole Council tackle teen pregnancy
Perhaps this story would have been a better lead, as it was local and had impact. The story had good audio, which would also secure the decision to have made it the lead story.
Postal Strike
Making writing active is essential as a journalist. Unfortunately, this story was not written in the present tense and thus the quality of writing was not as it should have been.
