The document discusses the strategies used in selecting and presenting news stories for a student broadcast program. The group chose a hard news story about sixth form fears facing local teenagers and a soft news story about new technology taking over the local area. Both stories were made simple to explain and focused on recent events in the Midlands to engage the target audience of older teenagers. The hard news story uses Barthes' Enigma Theory by starting with a question, while the soft news story employs Levi Strauss' Binary Opposition Theory to explain how an old Waterstones store has changed into a new Apple store.
