How I contributed to the task
The planning
The first thing as a group that we needed to do was plan everything that needed to be done in order to complete the task of creating a five minute news bulletin.
One main task that I started to do was the timeline. This was very important as we needed to know if we had enough content to fill out the whole five minutes. The time line also helped everyone know where they would be in the show. The timeline would give us a rough idea of how long we would need for each part of the news, and we would therefore be able to factor this into our planning of what we were going to say. I also had to plan the vox-pop and the outside broadcast in.
One of the tasks that we needed to complete before starting the timeline was to decide what part of the news each person was going to be concentrating on, after some research we decided that we could split the show into; national news, local news, sport and traffic and weather. Each person would take one of these topics and find news for it.
Another way that I contributed to the final task was to plan what I was going to say in my sport section. We decided that I should say three short stories on different topics, so that viewers that may not like certain sports would not get to bored. I found my news stories form a variety of different sources such as different internet sites and newspapers. I then shortened the stories and wrote them down so it would sound better.
In order to find out what local radio news usually sounds like; I had to do some research into local and national radio stations. To do this I created a list of things to look out for, listened to the radio and wrote down things under the appropriate headings. In my spare time I also listened to the radio in order to gain a better understanding and gain a higher level of knowledge.
The task
In the task my main contribution was to read the three news headlines that I had picked out. After a bit of practice, editing and checking that it didn’t sound scripted, we started to record. This was quite simple and we knew that if we made a mistake, we could go back and redo it.
Another thing that I contributed to the final piece was editing the clips. This is a very important job, as if there were gaps in the show or things over-lapped then it would look quite unprofessional.
The vox pop needed to be recorded outside, so I was the person that went out with the voice recorder, with the interviewer and interviewee, as we needed the sound of cars in the background. At this point it was important that the cars were not too loud but could still be heard and the people that were talking could be heard so the recorder needed to be the correct distance from their mouths and the road.
Later on in the piece I also gave information on how to get your views onto the radio.

How Heart news fits into local news values
The local heart news clip starts off with some national and international news which is what we have chosen to do also. I think this is good because it starts off with things that are relevant to a wider community and then narrows down to things that might affect them more closely. Also on Heart there is sport news and some times they do vox pop's and go and ask people's opinion.
In the news clip below there are several examples local news values.
- The Haiti charity single and the latest survivors is the first bit of news to come up
- This story will cause a lot of human interest as it will create a high level of sympathy and empathy amongst listeners.
- Elitism/celebrity is also one of the vales that is brought up in the clip, as several 'big names' are brought up. When these people are brought up is is likely to grab the attention of listeners that aren't really paying attention. As this is at the start of the news, people may carry on listening in the hope of hearing similar news.
- The first news article also show continuity as it has the possibility of caring on over several days. In our news clip we put in story's that do these things as it makes it sound more professional.
- The Haiti article also has the frequency value. It is a very important bit of news so is favored.
- The second bit of news is slightly more local. One of the main values that it contains is 'Negativity'. This is because it was something bad that has happened in the local community.
- It also represents simplicity as you can see who is the good and bad people here. In our final piece we have put in news about a local stabbing, and it is very clear to see who the 'bad guy' is.
- In the third news article there is once again elitism/celebrity values as big names are once again mentioned.
