CONVENTIONS OF A RADIO
NEWS BULLETIN
INTRODUCTION
On this presentation I will be talking and explaining
about all the different types of conventions on radio
news.
1. INTRO
On the radio you’ll often hear an introduction to the news
bulletin, this is a short piece of text and reading that is read
at the beginning of every news bulletin.
2.COPY STORY
Quite often a copy story is used on a radio news bulletin, it shortens
down the story, in detail, into 3 or 4 sentences. There will be no
audio included that is played to back up the story.
3. CUE
A cue is used to introduce the story that is just about to be told or
played, there will only be 2 sentences to a cue to introduce the story
and an “In line” is used to introduce a clip.
4. CUE AND CLIP
A Cue and Clip is often know as a ‘Cut’, this is around usually a 15-20
second piece of audio that is taken from an interview with someone
in it that is related to the story being told at that current time. This is
sometimes used to back up the story that is being told or an extra
added on to make the radio broadcast longer.
5. CUE AND VOICER
This is much longer than a Cue and clip (Cut) usually lasts
for 30-40 seconds which is an audio that is recorded by a
different journalist.
6. BACK ANNO
A ‘Back anno’ is short for a ‘Back announcement’, this is
used after a long piece of audio which is most often an
audio piece to remind the audience who was the last voice
they heard. They are always read by the news reader.
7. STAB
often known as a ‘Sting’, this is a very short version of the ‘Jingle’
that is often used in between the news bulletin to split stories up
into sections, for example: when the “news” story ends and you
move onto sport. This is so that it isn’t all jumbled up together. It is
to just make the layout of the bulletin a bit more similar to
understand.
8. BED
A bed is music without the lyrics that often plays during and
in the background of a news reading, this piece of music is
usually fast paced, intense that adds pace to the news
reading and so it flows instead of it lagging.
9. S.O.C
This stands for “Standard out Cue” which is the part at the end of
the bulletin and ends the bulletin, when the presenters sign
themselves off the radio news broadcast.
10. CUE AND VOXPOP
This is short for “VoxPopwi” which is Latin for “voice of People”, this
lasts around 15- 20 seconds for a piece of audio that features around
4 or 5 different voices, sometimes in a conversation. Illustrates and
gives an opinion of “people on and around the streets”.
11. CUE AND A TWO WAY
This is often used in longer news bulletin, like a mini
interview between the newsreader and reporter. Often LIVE
as it is used to break the news or events or it can be
recorded.
12. CUE AND WRAP
This is a combination of a clip and voicer in which case a
reporter needs a voicer but embedded within a clip that is
related to the story or person in the story.
13. O.B
Also known an ‘outside broadcast’, this is a radio
news bulletin that is recorded outside the studio, for
example, a crime has just happened in London, it is
the journalist of news reporters job to attend that
scene and report what has happened and what is
going to happen. These kind of broadcasts are LIVE or
pre-recorded.
14. CUE AND WRAP
A combination of a clip and voicer, a reporter needs a
voicer but it is embedded into a clip of someone or
something that is related to the story.
