1. Ocr
Negativity- Bad news is good news so although the
story about the three year old boy going missing is
upsetting the audience will be much more interested
in this story other than a more positive story.

2. • Continuity- This story has been ongoing for
about a week now so has gathered a large
amount of attention, the latest update is that
a huge team of volunteers have gone out to
look for the missing boy, this may give the
audience a sense of community as is heart
warming to hear.

3. • Currency- As this story is ongoing and
happening now this means it will gather much
more attention than a story that happened
last week as it is relevant.

4. My bulletin
• Closeness to home- The main story was about
an elderly woman being mugged in the
oldham area. As the story happened actually
in oldham this brings much more attention to
it as people residing in oldham would be
interested in this story and shocked that it
happened in the community.

5. • Negativity- Similar to OCR this story is very
negative so therefore once again it will attract
more attention from the listeners.
