The radio that I had listened was introduced as the ‘sky news centre’ which was national news cast and the time it was broadcasted was at 10am. The target audience for this news broadcast may be aimed for over 21 year olds as the news stories and issues discussed seemed to appropriate for over 21 year olds.
The conventions that I had recognised from that radio news cast are factors such as headlines, voice inserts, mainly hard news, range of genres and the weather. There was not anything in this news cast which I would think to be unconventional.
I think the lead story in this radio cast was the story about the prime minister saying that you’ll be able to see your family doctor 7 days a week and that they will reduce waiting time for the patients and that they will ‘ease pressure’ on the NHS if the conservatives win the general election next year. I think this is the most important story because it will have an impact on everyone as everyone would like to improve the health situations and it will affect the target audience as they are more able to relate with this story which makes it more popular and interesting.
Moreover I thought this story was discussed more into detail than the other stories so this also emphasises its importance. Also the use of voice insert in this story also tells us that it is a matter widely discussed and that it affects everyone and also that it has many disagreements with.
