Q3. WHAT INSTITUTION WILL BEST DISTRIBUTE YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT?
LOGO:
We decided that we want our logo to include the idea of a radio station, yet include some sense of femininity hence the colours of our logo. By using these pastel colours we wanted to reinforce the idea of calmness and gentleness to the look of our station, and make it seem relaxing and welcoming. Also, by including the radio microphone in the logo, it makes clear to the audience who we are, which is a radio station. Lastly, because it has the name of our station on the logo, it automatically ensures that the audience know who we are, so when they come across it they will know it is us.
SLOGAN:
Our slogan of ‘Our news, is your runway’ makes sure that our audience will always remember us because it is short and snappy to remember, and rounds up a general idea of what our station is about. We also decided to use this as our slogan because of the ways it includes words such as ‘news’ and ‘runway’ implying what our news station is about; which is local news and fashion trends, therefore the audience know what to expect.
ROLES:
Although as a group we played a variety of roles, there were some which we individually specialised in. For instance, I took on the role of talking and asking the public to participate in our activities such as the vox pop, in order for our radio station to get non biased opinions. The other member , Aima, had the huge role of organising the news casts and making sure that we included all the right things and was up to date with any current fashion affairs. Thahmina, had the role of researching so that we got top quality information in order to have background knowledge on our stories. Overall, we all played a huge role in the making of our news station, so that it could be the best of the best!

Q5. HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ADDRESS YOUR AUDIENCE?
Q5. HOW DID YOU ATTRACT/ADDRESS
YOUR AUDIENCE?
In
our radio news cast we attracted and addressed our audience in a variety of
ways in order for them to relate to our stories.
ATTRACT:

Krokodil story
– The diegetic sound used in this story was the noises of the hospital doors
opening and closing, this allowed the audience to think about where the
location is. The quietness connoted that it is in a more controlled
environment. The non-diegetic sound used in this story was the heartbeat - this
enabled the audience to recognize the seriousness of the story compared to the
other content in our newscast. This story had a very stern tone in order to
show the importance of the issue.

SILENCE:
Silence
isn’t used at all during our newscast because we wanted to maximize every
second in the 5-minutes to exploit the uses and gratifications the product
could offer – particularly entertainment, education and information.
THE STORIES SELECTED FOR THE NEWS STATION:

We
also decided to select the slang ban story as it allowed the audience to see
and relate to how students felt about this issue. The use of the story enables
our niche to be able to see different viewpoints of the story. Our teen
audience would get the preferred reading because they generally use slang
themselves.
The
Newham story enables our audience to think about how unfair and unjust it would
be for other students to walk away with grades that they didn’t achieve when
they themselves have to work hard.
Lastly,
by using the Krokodil story, this allowed our audience to be informed about
something which could affect them in the mere future.
ADDRESS
TO THE AUDIENCE
We
address our audience in a way that they feel included, involved, and
comfortable and they connect with the presenters and reporters. By calling the
audience "fashionistas" we make our audience feel that this newscast is addressed
to them personally, and that they can relate to us.
Our
news team decided that we would vary our delivery and address from the relaxed
to a more formal approach. This way we would match address to the content of
each story.
Our
presenter uses a clear voice so that our audience is able to hear what we are
saying. For the most part we use more formal language typical of newscasts. However,
in certain places we add bits of informality to make our audience feel a little
more relaxed. For example, when our presenters says ‘don’t forget to buy me
that snazzy scarf’ this allows our audience to see that although we are
informing them about information we also remind them that we are ordinary teens
just like them and we share their interests.
