              Target Audience
The target audience for BBC would range, at earlier times they would target a range from youngsters (10-17) to elders (18+) because this is the time because schools/work so they are more likely to be watching it. Later on in the day it would range for just elders because this is the time youngsters are in bed and this is where more serious imagery and video clips can be shown.
50% Boys and 50% Girls; I chose this answer because BBC news applies to all boys and girls as there are different gender news that goes around BBC.

Running Order
          On the first 2 days of watching the news it was the same stories, the Killings of the Palestinians, The Malaysian plane that was shot down and the US sanctioning Russia, just today’s news had a new head line which was the threat of Ebola.
On the first 2 days the order of news was, Palestine first, then the Malaysian air liner and then the US Sanctions for Russia, and on the third day the Ebola news was first then again the same order of the previous news.

I think the news editors put it in that order of the most important first, the Ebola news is the most important because there is a chance it could end up in our country and the people of this country need to know. The other news goes in order of Palestine second because what is going on there is big news as 1000+ Palestinians are being killed and over 100,000 injured, the Malaysian air liner is important but not as important as the first 2, and then the US sanction has no effect on our country so it is not as big.

2) For each story above, explain WHY you chose that particular story and not something else. Why would it interest a Greenford audience? 
Greenford news story: We chose this story because… It is Greenford high schools most read story and it is an interesting story that will attract more viewers.

Funny news story: We chose this story because…  it is a funny story, everyday people are looking for a laugh, laughing is what brings happiness so we chose this story because it can make people smile and laugh which brings them happiness.

3) What order did you broadcast the stories in? Why did you place the stories in that order?

The 1st story we broadcasted was Greenford news, in second place we broadcasted London News, thirdly we broadcasted National news, in the fourth postion we broadcasted Funny news and finally in the fifth postion we broadcated Sports News.
We broadcasted these news topics in the order we gave because firstly comes the important news that more poeple are likley to watch/read then we broadcasted the entertainment such as funny news and sports because all the intresting and fun stuff always comes in the end when watching something like BBC news.

4) How did you make sure the script was the right length?

We made sure the script was the right lenght by removing the sentences we didnt need and by making sure every story lasted 12 seconds by rehersing them over and over.

5) How did you make sure each story was clear and easy to understand?

In order to make sure each story was clean and easy to understand we made sure we kept it very basic and used simple TERMINOLOGY so every one can understand what we were talking about.

6) How did you make sure the broadcast was professional?

We made sure the broadcast was professional by doing what we see professionals do on TV, we took ideas from what they did and reflected this in our own work.
7) What was your specific role in the group?

My specific role in the group was the Journalist, Journalists find the all the news topics and hands it over to the editer.

8) Rate your group’s ability to work collaboratively out of 5 (1=poor, 5=excellent)

In my opinion i would rate my groups ability to work collaboratively around a ' 3 ' because we werent really organised in time and the communication skills was a bit off.

9) How could your group have worked more effectively as a team?

My team could have worked more effectively if we had better organisation and communication skills, by having those not only could we be more effective but also could have worked faster and had a lot more done and covered.

10) Finally, what would you have done differently if you were given the opportunity to do this again?
