Full focus to get 2015 Cleethorpes Air Show off the ground and be 'even bigger and better'

http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/focus-2015-Cleethorpes-Air-ground-bigger-better/story-22044421-detail/story.html

The article is about Cleethorpes air show and how the organisers hope to bring it back next year, which will hopefully be the biggest yet. The air show will hopefully be taking place mid 2015 down the Cleethorpes seafront.

The news story is ideal for our radio station because it includes information about an upcoming event that will hopefully be held in the local area. The Cleethorpes air show is a popular event suitable for all the family that would interest our listeners.

People we may interview include local organisers of the event, people who have attended the event in the previous years and local store holders. We could use a Vox pop to record the interviewees and their opinion on the article.

Questions that we may as the interviewee could include, ‘What improvements could be made to the air show’, ‘what benefits does the air show have on the local community and ‘what are the

main intentions of holding the air show next year?’

The news values of this article include the threshold. The event happens once every year and is attended by the thousands, this indicates the importance of the event and how many people it affects. Another news value that the article includes is unambiguity, this is because there are few ways of interrupting the event and cannot really be seen in a negative light.

There shouldn't be any legal or ethical issues with the news story because it is a positive news story and is not representing anything in a negative way

This news article will be mentioned 1st because we feel this is a popular local event which attracts crowds of more than 200,000.

This news article is about the upcoming store ‘Smyths’ opening date being revealed and the jobs it is creating. It is opening at the Victoria Retail Park. It is opening on the 27th September 2014.

This news story involves our radio station, as it covers upcoming releases and updates on what’s going on in Grimsby. ‘Smyths’ toy store is a new superstore that would definitely meet the needs of our listeners.

For this news article, we could potentially interview the manager of ‘Smyths’ and ask him questions regarding the store opening, why he has chosen to open one in Grimsby and what his main intentions are. We could also perhaps interview some members of the general public to find out what they think of ‘The Range’ opening and questions regarding whether they might visit of not.

One news value of this news article is ‘unexpectedness’. Not many people have expected such a drastic change and newly opening store to be opened in our town. Also ‘meaningfulness’ as I think that most people will find this very interesting and ‘meaningful’ as it’s a new store in our community, which will interest people more than if it wasn’t so local to the area. Also ‘Unambiguity’ would be another news value as new jobs being available would not be interpreted in a negative way.

This news article will be mentioned 2nd in our radio station as we feel this is quite an important news article and change in our community, however not the most important. This is going to be placed second because a demand for new jobs is vital in our community at the moment, and throughout the whole country. Therefore a larger audience will be interested in listening to the promotion of new jobs.

There will be no legal and ethical issues within this article, as there is no drama, crime or serious action and it is just promoting the store and the jobs available.

By Chloe and Brandon

This news article is a review of the performance from more than 200 young pupils from Tollbar Academy, Cleethorpes Academy and Reynolds Academy all of which are part of the Multi-Academy Trust. The concert took place early in December 2014.

This news story is ideal for our radio station because it is a local story about three local schools coming together to create a Christmas concert. This news story meets the needs of our listeners because most of the listeners would be parents who are interested in hearing about the school events in the local area.

For this news article we could potentially interview some of the children involved in the production and ask them question related to their experience. We could also interview audience members asking them about their time at the concert and opinions. Another person we could interview is one of the event organisers asking them of their intentions.

One news value of this article is personalisation. We think this because allot of people will be interested in hearing about their child/family members concert because people are interested in people. Another news value would be unambiguity because this is a positive event taking place. Meaningfulness would also be a news value because most people would find this interesting because it is news revolving the local community.

This news article will be mentioned 4th (last) in our radio station because we feel this is least important and it is also news from the past.

There are no legal and ethical issues within this article because there is no drama, crime or serious action and is just a review of the Christmas concert.
