Outside Broadcast

The target demographic of our radio broadcast is 16-20 year olds. We decided as a group to have a story that is relatable to people in the local area of Tower Hamlets. We decided to produce a story based on the Government and the issues faced.

Hanna and I went to the Anti-Cuts Demonstration in Hyde Park, where I interviewed a few members of particular parties protesting against the Government and their cuts. I concluded from the interviews, that there was mass frustration against the Government and therefore parties joined together to form a resistance, because they were fighting for change, as these cuts affected them and their well-being.

This story will not only suit with our target audience but it is also an issue that I strongly feel about as the cuts take an effect on me as an individual., as I too face these cuts, not necessarily at this point, but in the near future.

I am from a working class background, which is very relatable to many of our audience members as some will be from a working class background. The purpose of this broadcast was to highlight the current affairs taking place in regards to the Government and London and what actions people took to stop this from happening. The broadcast intends to give information for our listeners and to help them understand what the Government are planning and allows them to keep up to date with the world of politics.
