I listened to Sky news at 10am. The speaker was a woman and she spoke really fluently and opened the newscast with the lead story , about children with a chromosone disorder who become obstructie and anti- social , even throughout adulthood. This lead story explores the news value of threshold , which is the latest and biggest news , which is guranteed to have some sortof effect on the listener. The speaker tended to have quite a serious voice and the language used was really formal , silence was used quite effectively to mantain the listener's interest.
The following story explored the news value of currency .Sometimes , a story is newsworthy because its about an issue in the public consciousness at that particular time .The story was about ,seven men charged with allegedly laundering money stolen from online bank accounts, police said.
They were arrested at addresses in West Sussex and Portsmouth, Hampshire, on Tuesday morning.
Detectives are now investigating possible links with the arrests of 20 people in London in connection with an alleged multimillion-pound plot to steal from British bank accounts.
There was another story about actress, Lindsey Lohan , in rehab , for about the 5th time. while the speaker was delivering this news her voice was very upbeat and not so serious.
Overall , the only sound codes used were sound effects to introduce the news programme on the radio station and then silence , and that was only for the lead story. I think the target audience was mature adults aged between 20 and over , as the language used was quite formal and complex and most of the time , the speaker remained professional .
