- 12. Radio News Bulletin A bulletin is a brief radio news broadcast, giving the bare facts of news stories before more depth is added in a full program. A bulletin (also called a summary) is usually broadcast on the hour or half hour. (BBC) A three-minute summary normally has about eight stories, two or three with a piece of audio (e.g. illustrated with an audio clip of someone speaking).

- 14. Steps of MakingNews Bulletin Source • A radio journalist sources stories for hourly bulletins. Often, stories need some background research carried out. If there are possible legal or ethical issues, make a judgement on what can or can’t be included. Select • For radio, as with print journalism, you need to know your audience. Who is listening? Chose stories to target those people. Check • Once you’ve decided what stories you want to run, make sure you really understand them. If you need to ask more questions, then do so. • Double-check the facts in your stories for truth and accuracy. Make sure people’s names and job titles are correct.
- 15. Steps of MakingNews Bulletin Write • Structure each story by using the ‘top line’– the most important and interesting part of each story – to hook the audience in. • The listener has only one chance to absorb what you’re saying. Keep your language simple and stay as close as possible to normal speech. • Keep it short, sharp and to-the-point • When a sentence gets too long, split it up. • Avoid using acronyms
- 16. Steps of MakingNews Bulletin Rank: You need to decide on the lead story, and then rank your stories in order of importance. Timing: The more recently a story has happened, the stronger its news value. Significance: The number of people affected by the story is important. A train crash in which hundreds of people died is more significant than a crash killing ten people. Proximity: Stories which happen near to us have more significance. The closer the story to home, the more newsworthy it is. Prominence: Famous people get more coverage just because they are famous. If you break your arm it won't make the news, but if The Prime Minister breaks his arm it's big news. Human interest: Human interest stories which appeal to emotion and evoke responses such as amusement or sadness are a staple of all media publishers.
