find out their views on her success. If we were interviewing a member of the public, we
would ask if they were busy and if they would like to be involved in the production.
Finding a person who knows of the story is very important. Therefore, asking question
previously will help us determine if the persons is fit for interviewing. We would be
looking for somebody from the younger generation, as they would be more likely to

2. What representations exist in this story could they change due to who you interview
The Grimsby area is stereotyped as being a place involved in drugs and crime,
therefore a news story broadcasted about a person from said town could possible
change people’s views on the area. Creating more publicity and industries to grow due
to the stardom. Mediation would have been used during the story, mainly to do with the
selection process. Hundreds of stories are displayed each day, but due to the
personalisation behind the story this would be a main story. Yet during the organisation
not much would be changed due to it only being a local paper. Photo shopping pictures
etc… would be unnecessary as they want to present the story as being very realistic.
The headline is the main focus of the text as it explains how she is becoming an
international star this information antes the readers. If we were to interview a member of
the public they would demonstrate intentional views to the readers as they will read
what the person intended to say and what the editor intended. For a positive response
to the article.
Legal and Ethical Issues
Due to the news article being recorded the interview will also be recorded. When
interviewing a person they could display act of defamation of character, using slander
and libel statements which could offend some people. To reduce the risk of this
occurring we would need to clarify the language which should not be displayed during
the interview and to not discriminate on any level. Also as the individual may mention a
song by the singer this would breach copyright laws. Therefore, we would also need to
clarify with our guest how they cannot mention the work of Ella Henderson

very local and one has died and the other is in prison and it would seem to inappropriate

of the story because we might of found out more information on what actually caused
Peter Guy to turn angry and commit this crime. Was it just based on the argument or
was it something more.
