BROADCAST NEWS MEDIA: GENERAL NOTION
Broadcast news media embraces radio and television stories (articles) of different forms, found innews bulletins( news programmesor newscasts ) in varying proportions. News in electronic broadcasting is packaged information about new events happening somewhere else.
News programme is a regularly scheduled programme that reports current events (home and foreign news) in a series of individual stories that are presented by one or more anchors. The programme is aired on the top of the hour and lasts from 15-30 minutes (a standard news programme) to one or two hours (an extended news programme).
Television news bulletin opens and ends up with news headlines that are very much similar to newspaper headlines in lexis and grammar. The headlines are broadcast every 15 minutes in a news bulletin to keep the viewer informed on the news of the hour.
TV n e w s b u l l e t i n lists:
- stories and voice-overs;
- news flashes (or breaking news reports to provide news updates on events of great importance);
- packages in television journalism, wraps in radio broadcasting;
- live or recorded interviews (or sound bites);
- expert opinions (of a journalist or an expert);
- press reviews.
The news bulletin is traditionally structured in the form of an “inverted pyramid”, with the latest news placed at the beginning of the newscast.
News of the day are called hard news. Cultural and entertainment news are called soft news (human interest stories that may likened to newspaper feature stories). They are aired in the second half of the news programme.
Sometimes the news bulletin is interrupted by flash news or is replaced by an unscheduled coverage of an important event as it shapes up. In this case the news bulletin embraces live reporting from the scene of a particular event.
There are currently four English free-to-air rolling news television channels (broadcasting news 24 hours a day) available in the Republic of Belarus via satellite: BBC World News, EuroNews, Sky News and CNN. The broadcasting component of such channels includes three elements:
a) current affairs and events of general inerest;
b) business;
c) sport.
News channels keep the viewer informed by presenting factual information and its immediate analysis by experts.
A lot of news channels during their news programming use a news ticker (a " crawler " or " slide ") – a primarily horizontal, text-based display that typically resides in the lower third of the screen space and is dedicated to presenting headlines or minor pieces of news. Most tickers are traditionally displayed in the form of scrolling text running from right to left across the screen, allowing for headlines of varying degrees of detail.
Radio news is similar to television news but is transmitted through the medium of the radio. It is based on the audio aspect rather than the visual aspect. News updates occur more often on radio than on television – usually about once or twice an hour.
