Forms of Radio News

There is a variety of forms of radio news, these are:

Bulletins
 This is a short offical statement or broadcast summary of news, they can be any type of news for example: Hard News, celebrity News and etc... They can be on television or radio or in a newspaper.

Here is a Bulletin I created for the college radio (E6 Radio).

I researched to find some interesting news, Once I chose what I was going to write a bulletin on I read the story on a few different sites on the internet. I took out the important information which was-
'Who was involved'
'Where did it happen'
'When did it happen'
'How did it happen' 
'How did it end' 
Once I finished writing about the news story I came up with a short and snappy headline for the news story. 



Headline
 Headlines are usually short and snappy, they're the heading at the top of an article or page in a newspaper and magazine, they're usually eye catching. Here is an example of a News headline I found on youtube, it's a radio headline but has been videod in the studio. 



He reads the news but not in detail, it's short and snappy which includes a few facs about the news story which will be discussed in the full news bulletin. This can catch the listerners attention with it being short and snappy they may want to know the full story. 

News Programme
 This is a program devoated to current events, it often uses interviews and commentary. It is regularly scheduled on radio and televsion programmes. The news is usually reported in a series of individual stories. News programme's can include live or recorded interviews by field reporters, experts opinions and occasional ediorial content. Here is an example of a news programme.

It is a schedueld programme where the presenter talks about issues relating to a witness event. They get witnesses in to interview, the news topic changes on each programme. 

Copy Only
 This is a written material for publication, also known as a script, the broadcaster can only read from the script . It doesn't cross to anyone and doesn't have any interviews.
Here is an example of copy only I found on the BBC Website-http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01jg63d
The news the presenter reads is about the issues in the news in detail, it's spoken clearly and is easy to understand. 

With Audio Clips
 When something is recorded for the radio show and is used on the show. 
Here is some Audio clips I found on the internet, there is a variety of different ones from this website.

Voicers
 Also known as a voice report, this is an audio report from a radio report. These are often done at the scene of an event. Here is an example of a voicers-


The news reporter is talking about students loans, it's obvious it's live with the background and the background noises. 

Wraps
 In broadcasting this is a summarty of an evolving issue or the events of a day, these are ofte drawing on material in reports which have already gone on air. They're also known as a collection of news in briefs NIBs.
Here is an example of a wrap-

The presenter says a few main points of the day for a few seconds, it gives a lot of points, 

Live Cross
 When the broadcaster is speaking about something and then cross over to some one else who either has a story about it or is live at the scene. 
I couldn't find a news radio on the internet but TV live cross is similar. 


It's obvious it's a live cross because the presenters/ news reporter crosses over to another news reporter who is on the scene and talking/ showing exactly what has happened, in this exampl there is a flood. 

Two Way (Live And 'As-Live')- This is something that is recorded earlier then put onto a 'live' show.
