There were many mistakes that could have easily been avoided. The team, part of this report, failed do the most important thing when it comes to journalism, this was evidence. The team did not have any reliable evidence or anything to prove that the allegations were true. Based on the 12 Ethical Journalistic Standards, there were many rules that were evidently broken. The first rule ‘Produce no material likely to lead to hatred or discrimination on the grounds of a person’s age, gender, race, colour, creed, legal status, disability, material status or sexual orientation.’ was broken. The broadcast on Newsnight did cause some controversy and dispute, as material produced was towards a man of the elderly. These allegations also lead to hatred as many peers of Lord McAlpine were shocked as false accusations were made.

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
technology. Digital Radio, not only has
better reception for listeners to enjoy, but also compatible on many devices.
This is a major advantage as you can access the Radio from anywhere. For
example, you can listen to the radio on your mobile and on the T.V. New forms
of technology have become converged, there are apps on smart phones such as
‘Tunein Radio’(picture shown on the left) in which I have, the app allows me to
listen to the radio and lets me do various functions such as rewind to what I
have already listen to and listen to podcasts. This sort of technology in my
opinion is what keeps Radio going as the public have easy access to do many
things such as listen to radio as a technology such as the mobile phone is
portable, thus highlighting that radio can be listened virtually anywhere.

Sound Codes
Music, can determine the mood of the News Cast and the
News that it is portraying. If there is music that is upbeat the news is soft
news, it evokes a good emotion and keeps the audience entertained. If there is
no music during the news, this explains that the news is serious and any music
here will be irrelevant and can cause controversy.
Voice is based on a persons tone of speaking this gives the audience acknowledgement of what type of news is portrayed. If the tone of the voice was serious than we know the news is Hard if the Tone was happy, chirpy we know the news is soft News purely for our entertainment.

The Demonstration at Hyde Park (Outside Broadcast)
Hanna and I decided to complete one of the tasks for our radio
production, the Outside Broadcast. This was my task, we decided that my Outside
Broadcast will be based on Government issues. There were many movements that
were protesting against the government because they were unhappy about the
cuts. Here are some of the pictures myself and Hanna took during our time at
the March, towards Hyde Park. Enjoy :)
The March started at Temple
