Comparing Newsround and BBC 6 o'clock News
The purpose and audience of ‘Newsround’ and the ‘BBC 6 o’clock News’
are both different, and therefore the format, content and language
will differ as a consequence. The purpose of ‘Newsround’ is to make
news interesting and accessible for its target audience, of younger
teenagers and children. On the other hand the ‘BBC 6 o’clock News’ has
a more general audience, consisting mainly of adults and older people,
and its purpose is to present a round up of the days events in a more
formal manner, yet still on a level that is universally understood.
The format of ‘Newsround’ has to appeal to its target audience of
younger teenagers and children. As a result: the title sequence is
modern, animated and colourful. There is an image of the world, which
gradually increases in size and metamorphoses into the ‘Newsround’
logo. This is because it symbolises that it is worldwide news, but the
logo is instantly recognisable so children can relate to it, thus
making the news more familiar and accessible. In addition the music
sequence is: modern, fast-paced and pulsing, gradually getting louder.
This sets the pace for the news programme, and is, further more, a
visual representation of stereotypical teenage music, which is viewed
likewise as being loud and throbbing. As for the mode of address, the
presenters are wearing casual jeans and T-shirt, similar to what
teenagers would dress in, to show that the programme is up to date and
appeal to the show’s target audience, who generally pay more attention
to things that fit into what they categorise as ‘trendy’.
Additionally, the studio is colourful and pla...

the ‘BBC 6 o’clock News’ language, format and content used to report
the live 8 concert on the ‘BBC 6 o’clock News’, and ‘Newsround’ to
suit each of the programmes target audience. For example, the format
of the two programmes is similar, in the respect that they are modern,
but the ‘Newsround’ presenters wear T-shirts and jeans, in comparison
to the ‘BBC 6 o’clock News’ presenters who wear more formal attire.
The programmes differ the most, in the content area, with both
programmes focusing on different themes, to appeal to their target
audience. In reference to language ‘Newsround uses fairly simplistic,
but not too basic and mostly formal, with some appropriate colloquial
language. The ‘BBC 6 o’clock News’ is similarly formal, but at times
with more complex language, reflecting the mixed target audience.

The discrepancies in media coverage in coverage of female and children athletics have large gaps, but are gaining momentum in sharing equality. Major athletic leagues such as the NBA and FIFA World Cup have wide gaps in marketing and ratings for their male and female athletes. Children are future athletes and superstars, but as funding and coverage in athletics catering to the males, women are breaking the barriers to be in the spotlight of sport. Both gender contribute equally to athletics, and challenge the each other to accept new ideas and change. The sports world that has a single gender dominating the media is unjust. Society does not want to bored, we need change in sports entertainment to cater to all. Not all parents and teachers are available to educate our children about the concepts of sharing and teamwork, our children are growing up learning key concepts through media. I will discuss these concepts and how they intertwine.

This has become a huge source of concern. Male students take active part in sports activities. Girls on the other hand shun such activities.
BSB should have been able to identify potential competitors, particularly News Corporation. News Corporation was successful in US (in the US TV satellite industry), had experience transmitting television programs to Western Europe with a low-powered satellite and they already had presence in the UK with newspapers, which could allowed Sky to realize economies of scope. These economies of scope are even more significant if we take into account that News Corporation owns 20th Century Fox Studios. After purchasing 69% interests in SATV and renaming it to Sky Channel, this was a clear signal of a potential competitor to BSB. Adding to this, other signal was Murdoch’s personality, characterized by being aggressive and used to risk and make big bets. After all, he had bid against BSB to the British DBS franchise and lost, and given his personality, it’s normal that he would not go away after the first round. News Corporation is a global company and UK is one of the wealthier nations in the world, with high potential advertising revenue, which would make Murdoch want to be the leading player.

As the mind matures and grows, new opinions are formed with the help of the revolutionizing consciousness of humanity. The human conscious allows humanity to develop individually and gain unique cognitive patterns and thinking processes. However, these opinions can be manipulated by environmental sources, like the media. The media’s puppet strings can be used to influence the minds of the masses and control their overall thinking process. It takes away an individual’s freedom to think for themselves and form their own opinions. Manipulation is a key ingredient in attaining support for a side of an argument. News networks have this ability to twist the minds of their listeners and unconsciously force them to believe in their words. Two of the

News Broadcasting On April 7, 1997, I watched NBC 5 News at 6. Warner Saunders (filling in for Ron Majors) and Carol Marin were co-anchors. Because I do not usually watch the news, I found myself seeing it with fresh eyes. For instance, I never before realized how little time is spent on each story within a 30-minute newscast.

In order to get the latest up to the minute coverage, you need to have your television on all the time and tuned to one of the all news stations. The Cable News Network or CNN was the first 24 hour current events network, and it launched June 1, 1980. Other networks have since launched their own versions of 24 hour programming such as FOX and MSNBC. The Weather Channel provides 24 hour coverage of weather across the globe, and it is crucial to understand how the weather can alter current events. Political leaders have people who watch the stations all the time to report any essential breaking news to them.
In recent years, the importance of news broadcasts has increased. More people need to access the news to stay in touch with the rest of the world’s affairs. More TV channels have developed to give viewers more news. Both commercial and government networks are used to present the news to the general public. However, because of the different fundings and target audiences, different networks will focus on different aspects of the news, to make as many people of their target audience watch their particular broadcast. Therefore the separate channels can bring in a far larger audience, and take away another channels audience, therefore reducing competition.
