The first news segment was international and national news. We provided this for our listeners so we could create some interest for people outside of Oxfordshire. For example the International news at the time concerned Tunisia - which effected a lot of people and had worldwide interest. With the mentioning of the Tunisian President gives the story an element of Elitism highlighting the importance of the people involved and how powerful people such as politicians and celebrities can influence the decisions of others. Also, the Tunisia story is an on-going story, as many people from the UK had been effected, so this could possibly an area we could have asked the listeners to feedback on the story and give their thoughts.
The next story is about the search for Joanna Yates's Killer, and how her family are pleading for information on the case firm anybody who thinks that they could help in any way.This news story has great elements of simplicity, in the way it is presented - we decided to do this, so we could get the information across easily to the audience without confusing them we details they did not need to know. Also this story may relate to many listeners, and creates human interest, as people may understand and have sympathy towards the people involved in the incident.
In the next news segment, we talk about a local Kidlington Pub being under new management. I think this was a fantastic story to include as it would really grab the attention of the local listeners. It was also great to get the vox-pop with the pub landlord, which was staged, however we did it to interest the listeners. It was important to have a news story linked to the village because it gets people involved in something that they can relate to.
