The project for this semester will include a news program
presented at Griffith University. As part of the assignment I have started to
brainstorm ideas of what will feature in my group's news program. Firstly, I
drew ideas from Channel 10's Studio 10, A Current Affair and the Today Show.
The idea that resonated with my was to have a news segment followed by a talk
show discussion. This allows the readers and presenters to elaborate on a topic
and it also allows them to form their own opinion on a specific topic and open
each opinion up to debate. This also adds to the depth of the program and
allows the viewers to see multiple sides of the story.
I planned out a rough idea of the rundown
of the program too. My idea starts the program with an introduction by the
presenters and then a lead into a hot topic that is current. The lead of the
program has to grab the viewers’ attention and so I believe that we would need
a strong and decisive story to lead the bulletin.
Our program would begin with an introduction to the program. Following
will consist of a variety of segments including:
-
An
interesting topic segment
-
A news
of the day read, maybe a live cross and weather and sport
-
Sport’s
Chat
-
Youtube
segment or social media fads
-
Celebrity
news topic
-
Money
or finance segment (how to save for a house deposit ect.)
-
Conclusion
I believe having a program set up with a variety of hard and soft topics
would be appealing to an larger audience and generally the most successful talk
shows and panel consist of a variety of these segments. My team and I will also
work on a major theme for our show to lead the program too.
