Sky News has commissioned vibe productions to produce an informational document aspiring
journalists in the UK. We have been tasked with compiling a style and editorial guide for new
journalists. The guide must provide suitable examples for new journalists to thoroughly understand the
radio sector.
The delivery of this document can be in one of two ways.
1. A word document containing examples and illustrations with links to radio news
2. A video guide containing visual / sound examples from radio news
3. A radio news / documentary show with guests explaining what the below involves with use
of clear examples from radio news.
It will be delivered in two parts

Assessment Criteria:
Critically discuss different news formats, reporting styles and target audiences and refer to
fully-justified and elucidated examples.
The construction of news broadcasts will be discussed in depth, in terms of the presenters,
their language, accent and tone of voice, as well as the types of stories covered.
Points made will be fully justified by referring to actual examples from the content, and
learners will draw out of those examples precisely what is that exemplifies the points they
illustrate.
The mode of address of each broadcast will be discussed with reference to its target
audiences, primary, secondary and tertiary.
Discuss the constraints on radio news production with clear references to both internal and
external constraints.
Points made will be justified with supporting arguments and elucidated examples.
External constraints will be discussed, not only in terms of their effect on news production but
also on their efficacy.
News values will be discussed as an internal constraint on the selection and construction of
radio news.
Discuss the role of radio news in setting the agenda, in terms of the perceived importance of
some events over others, for its audiences.
