Producing news bulletins for South Coast Radio, offered a new challenge, as its style is somewhat different to that of Talbot FM.The News Day Format:
The South Coast Radio News team will produce:
1300: 4’ bulletin including at least 1 x voice piece, 1 x ‘;ive ‘2/way and a crafted news sequence with clips. One of the stories must be a national political story.
1500: 3’ bulletin including a court story.
Appealing to a mature audience of professionals and the retired, South Coast Radio has longer news stories and clips, delivered at a slow pace and offering authority from reporters and correspondents. Court and financial stories are well suited to the audience of South Coast Radio and audio from professionals help to develop the stories.
The news stories run for the 1300 news bulletin were:
- RBS and Lloyds shake up
- Bournemouth Surf Reef opens
- SAS officer pardoned
- David Cameron on the Lisbon Treaty
- Mouth cancer increases
- Child abuse in Poole
The news stories run for the 1500 news bulletin were:
- House prices on the rise
- Lapland Court case
- Obesity
- Bournemouth Surf Reef opens
- Hampshire tornado
Our team produced successful news bulletins, with a wide use of audio to illustrate stories and offer authority to the reporting. A finance expert gave sound advice, as to the banking shake up and locals offered their opinion on the opening of Bournemouth's surf reef.
Working well as a team enabled us to produce news bulletins suitable for the radio stations target audience, using a variety of production techniques. Each member of the team contributed effectively, taking on their own responsibilities and working to achieve a good result.
