Target audience- I think this is aimed at adults because it comes late on TV so children would not be awake and also it has some inappropriate stories. In my opinion I think it's a 50/50 split between females and males.

The main stories that were broadcast on that day were:

-  Footage shows rebel with MH17 wreckage
- A man dies in Australia shark attack
- Children killed during UKraine 'truce'
- 'We had no warning' floods survivor
- Fire breaks out on wooden rollercoaster

I think the stories were broadcast in this order because the first three stories are very serious so they put it first to grab attention. Also it makes people more aware of the situations around the world and especially story 2 because it makes us stay safe when going to the beach were theres sharks in the sea. The 3rd story suggests that everyone should always be prepared incase anything dangerous happens- 'we had no warning'. This tells us that they didn't know that there was going to be a flood going on.

The main stories that were broadcast today were:

- UK sending arms to Iraqi government
- Lost arctic ship found after 160 years
- Police chef 'failed' abuse victims
- Women tells court of travis 'assault'
- 88 metal hips and still doing the splits

I think the stories were broadcast in this particular order because they're about the world and that's really important for adults to know about . Also I think the UK sending arms to Iraqi government is important because its political and shows England point of view towards this situation. They put ' 88 metal hips and still doing the splits' last because its not important and its a fun topic to talk about.

  1. WWW: This is a really impressive project and contains lots of relevant detail. Good research and you've clearly watched the news too.
    EBI: Target audience is a weakness - you'll need to think about target audience in much more detail when you start the coursework.
    LR: Do you regularly watch the programme you researched? Why/why not? Where do you get your news from? Answer in a comment below.
