The document outlines a student's idea for a community news program targeting 16-25 year olds in Surrey that would offer a less formal alternative to existing news programs. It provides details on the purpose, content, target audience, visual treatment, crew, equipment budget, and proposed production schedule for a pilot episode. The goal is to create a unique news program that effectively informs and engages a niche youth audience at the local community level.

2. Idea
Describe your idea for a new news programme. Outline
the idea
We are doing a community news programme for a niche market audience aged
16-25. I have decided that there isn’t a news programme for the 16-25. This is
because I find the News Round is immature for there age range and the BBC is
to formal for them. We want a news programme that would suit the age range.
This would be adding different techniques to the Community Programme. I
have researched this website and think none of these would be suitable for a 16+
25year old. On the next page is comparing two website to see what kind of
styles we would want for a community news programme.

4. Idea
What kind of news programme are you going to
produce?
We will be making a community programme with all
the latest news in Surrey. There will be different news
for different areas in Surrey such as Tolworth will have
different news to Banstead. so we have to make sure
that we cover all the news.
Wednesday, 22 May 13

5. Ideas
What are the unique selling points of our products?
Our Unique selling point would be that the community news will be for 16-25
because we feel that there is a gap in the market for this age range for a community
news. This is all due to we think that some of the community news such as BBC
News is to formal and other community channel such as newsround is to excessive
for 13-16 so it would not fit in for our target age range. As you will see a difference
in slide 2 of different news programme.

6. Purpose
Is it inform or to educate as well?
I think my community channel will be to inform because
our is news is community news so it will be news about the
community and what is happening in the area. But there will
be education aspect as we will inform about the education
and there will be a commentary page so people can discuss
about the news segment.
Wednesday, 22 May 13

7. Purpose
What is the purpose of the programme?
The purpose of the programme is to provide a
community channel for the 16-25 as I don't feel like
there is a programme this range. Its also trying to bring
the latest news to the community. This is also trying to
bring in latest information.
Wednesday, 22 May 13

8. Purpose
Is to offer news in a different way to existing news
programmes? News?
Our news programme will be different because we want
our news programme to be formal but we don’t our
programmes to be too boring so that people wont get
bored. We want our programme to have a youthful
experience as well bring the latest programme.
Wednesday, 22 May 13

9. Purpose
Is it to communicate a particular type/category of
news to viewers? What types/categories
The community news will have category of news to
viewers so that the news will go to a wider audience
who lives in different. This is because there will be
different news about who lives Tolworth than people
who live in Banstead. I think there will have to be
different category for people who live in surrey. As
surrey is a big place there will need to be different
news.

10. Purpose
Content length of episode

a weak for 2 months. This will be good so we will post

be to quick so that people wont miss out the latest
news. We want to bring the latest news

13. Target Audience
Why are you Targeting your audience
We are targeting our audience to be 16-25 as I feel like
there is a gap in the market for a community news
programme for this age gender. Also we want our target
audience to live in surrey as our community news
programme live in surrey. We want both gender for our
news programme so anyone can read it. We also want
all class because surrey is a big place has all classes of
people and people off all classes can read the
community channel.
Wednesday, 22 May 13

14. Target Audience
Who is the primary and secondary audience?
A primary audience is the ideal target audience we are
aiming at for the community channel. if we get more
primary audience this means we are getting more of our
target audience. A secondary audience is the people
who are not in the Target audience but still interested
in the community channel. This is good since we are
getting more audience than our original target
audience.
