Radio news styles guide

By Joshua House

Forms of Radio news

There are many different forms that apply to radio news.
For starters there are bulletins these are short shows that give
the listener a general idea of what is going on, they only focus
on the most important news E.G. world news like political
elections and military involvements or other big news.
Bulletin are all scripted and prepared in
preproduction, they spread their stories out and make sure they
have a good balance of economic, political and world news so
that they listen doesnt get bored and tune out.
An example of a news bulletin is the BBC news hourly bulletin
this gives the reader a quick news updated every hour they
cover big world news . http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-17434527
Info from: http://www.thenewsmanual.net/Manuals%20Volume
%202/volume2_49.htm
Headlines
Headlines are simple the introduction to most news shows and are
very similar to the ones you see on TV news shows, they are
short and simple and much like Headlines in newspapers they draw
you in and make you want to listen to the whole show.
Headlines are always great because they might not give enough
information as they are so brief
An example of news radio headlines
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05q5w75#auto
As you can see they just sum-up the news and tell you whats
going on.
News programs
News program is a full show it will be about fifteen minutes
long. Compared to other shows it will be longer and will include
detailed reports of the news that will include interviews and on
location reports. Some shows even cover weather reports. An
example of this is the BBC radio 4 news at 6.
A full news program is expensive so not all of the commercial
radio run a full program it is mainly the BBC Public funded
stations that run them as they also have to be un-biased to all

issues. Another disadvantage of a full shows is it is long and

some listeners may just tune out because of boredom.
Copy only:
A copy only show is simply one or two people and they just read
the stories out and tell you the news it is one of the simplest
forms of radio news. This means that is cheap and easy, It Is
often used on stations that like to focus on Music like Absolute
Radio.
Voicer
This is a report that has been pre-recorded by an on site
journalist, because these are not live they are usually
scripted and they can do retakes to get a better quality of
report however this cannot be done for breaking news because it
will take time to prepare these are usually done for smaller,
local or ongoing stories.

Wraps
Wraps are very simple in a news show when they move on to the
next story or they end the show they use a wrap to make things
smoother. For example they can use phrases like over to you
(reporters name or at the end they can use a wrap to close the
show like in the film Anchor-man they say stay classy Santiago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgGCIZi1UjY
On advantage of wraps is that they give the listener an idea of
when a story ends witch in a radio show where you can only hear
the news is more important than ever.

Live cross
Live cross is in a news show when they cut to a live feed, this
live feed can be anything as long as its live; most commonly
though it is live reporters on the scene or live interviews but
it can be something as simple as weather or a shipping forecast
as long as it is live.
These are good because they give the listener a live report and
nothing can be more up to date as that. However switching to

live feed can have lots of technical obstacles and is hard and
expensive to do well.
http://clairenewstyle.blogspot.co.uk

Two way (live as live)

Live as live is when the reporter and the news anchor will have
a conversation proving the live feeds is actually live. The
anchor will often ask the reporter questions and the reporter
will answer giving a more in depth report on the story.

Styles
Related to audience
This is always very specific news such as music news. Examples
of this are the internet radio station Radio Rock give their
audience music news rock and metal news because the audience of
a radio station like radio rock would be more interested in that
than world news meaning more people would listen to their news
shows. This is generally smaller more specific radio shows that
do this as they only really care about one thing. Music. I would
be able to tell it is an audience related news show as they only
talk about one subject.
https://www.teamrock.com/news/2015-04-15/teamrock-targetsglobal-radio-audience
Public service
A public service radio is one that is made to serve the public
the largest main net-work of public service radio in the UK is
the BBC. Funded by licence fees paid by the public it has to
provide an arsenal of radio news to satisfy as many member of
the public as possible. They must have accurate information on
their news shows and be compliantly unbiased.
The amount of radio stations that the BBC have is uncanny
this is because they have to appeal to as members of the public
as possible.

One of the major advantages of public service is that they have

a large budget to produce extensive and accurate news shows. One
of the disadvantages is that they must be completely biased so

they cant always give a full report because it may be seen as

biased, for example if they are talking about two political
party they would not be able to say that one party has better
policys as that could be biased even if it is true.

https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/making-it-easier-for-themedia-and-creative-industries-to-grow-while-protecting-theinterests-of-citizens/supporting-pages/public-servicebroadcasting
Commercial
Commercial radio is a radio station that is owned by a media
company and is used for profit. In contrast to public service
radio they are funded by adverts so obviously they have ad
breaks, because they have to devote some time to add they dont
usually have big news shows and just use headlines or copy only
news systems. Examples of commercial radios are Absolute radio
http://absoluteradio.co.uk/ who now have a commercial radio
station for every decade providing verity without losing an
audience. They focus mainly on music so their news is pretty
weak.
http://www.radiocave.com/commercial-radio-broadcast-all-aboutcommercial.html
commercial radio is good because it can bring in more profit for
the station than a Public service radio however the constant add
breaks and generally weaker news coverage can lead to loosing
listeners also they are harder to run as they dont get
automatically funded they have to make their funds and it easier
to go bankrupt.

Community radio
Community radios are kind of the opposite to a commercial radio
station they are in the business for a non-profit motive they
just want to serve the community and they only cover small 5km
areas they are low budget.
One advantage of community radio stations is that they are cheap
to setup and run, as second is that they serve to communitys
often talking about topics that listeners have requested and
would like to see. However the can only cover about 5-10 miles
in range so their listener numbers will always be limited and
they will to be able to turn a profit.
http://www.radioacademy.org/knowledge-bank/getting-in/voluntaryradio/community-radio/

an example of a community radio station is Reprezent wh have

been Broadcasting across the capital since 2011, Reprezent FM is
the UKs only radio station presented by young people under the
age of 25.
http://www.reprezent.org.uk/#/about
this is a community radio station as it is run by the community
and is aimed at the community.
Small scale
Small scale radio stations are small Stations run and funded by
independent advertising, they can be run for any purpose and
they play what music or talk about what they want. They are
commonly used in poorer countries like in Africa it is not
uncommon to have farm radio station that tell listeners about
market prices and weather forcasts.
http://www.commedia.org.uk/news/2011/07/future-of-small-scaleradio/
One advantage of small scale is that you can play what you want
as you own your station. However with the new intervention of
digital radio it is hard for stations to get listeners as they
all use digital and it is expensive to broadcast in digital.
http://jackfm.co.uk/
Jack FM is a small scale commercial radio station that plays
what is wants it is small scale as it is only available on FM in
the Oxfordshire area however on their website you can listen
though out the south east.
Local radio
This is a station that broadcasts to a small set area rather
than appealing to a nation-wide audience. They broad cast local
news most commonly traffic news or news that effect the local
area like news about local events such as festivals and fair.
One of pros of local radio is that they have a smaller audience
so they can make more specific content and cover smaller local
stories. They are also small so easier to manage and cheaper to
run, they provide jobs and experience for people wanting to get
into the radio industry; finally they provide an informative
service to the community with local traffic reports and they
often provide cheap and local advertising for local businesses.
On the down side however there profit if they get any is small,
they dont have much physical range so spreading publicity is
hard; finally because they dont have a lot of funding they can
be hard to keep on air so they sometimes have to rely on funding
from the local public.
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/research/radioresearch/ressearch-findings13/attitudes.pdf

An example of a local radio station is Banbury sound a small

local station for Banbury. It broad casts local news and traffic
reports they also play music a lot and use ad revenue.
http://www.banburysound.co.uk/
this is local station because it has a small physical range and
serves the community.
Regional radio
There is little difference between local and regional content
wise they are the same the only real difference is the size they
cover whole counties rather than just towns or cities. They
deliver the same content but just on a larger scale so local
stories for the county and county wide traffic reports.
There are little difference between local and regional so the
pros and cons are very similar, like local they are good for the
community and create employment, they can still provide
advertising. The difference again comes again in the size they
are more expensive to run than their smaller cousins but they
can pull in more profit, they are still less expensive than
larger multi county or national staions.
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/research/radioresearch/ressearch-findings13/attitudes.pdf
The majority of regional radio stations in the UK are public
funded and run by the BBC so they dont get advertising revenue.
One example of A BBC run regional station is BBC Berkshire a
regional station for, well it goes without saying Berkshire.
Like any local station it gives local Berkshire traffic reports
and local news, they also have a lot of listener involvement
with shows where people can call in and talk about the strange
and funny things they have seen or heard around Berkshire.
This is an example of a regional because it is on a larger scale
but still follows the purpose and style of community service
that is seen in local.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radioberkshire
National radio
This a radio station that has a large area of broad cast, a
radio communications powerhouse. They have a lot of funding,
large publicity and a huge audience. There are some public
funded ones owned by the BBC like radio 1,2,3 and 4. The news
they broadcast is news that is seen to be important to the
nation as a whole things like political news, uk election news,
world news and news about crime eg stabbings, murder and terror
news.
On the positive side theres the fact that they are massive and

pull in enormous profits, they provide important world news to

the country, they have large audiences and they provide
thousands of jobs nationwide. On the down side they are
expensive to run and with such large scale audiences it is
harder to make content everyone will enjoy.

Internet Radio
These are stations that broadcast exclusively over the internet,
there are way more stations for every single type of music you
could imagine, from jazz to Scandinavian folk metal. Because of
the fact that they are cheaper to run and you can get world-wide
coverage you get a lot of small stations aimed at niche
audiences but most of the main commercial stations run online
sites as well as their FM stations for example Absolute radio
has an online site with more stations focused on different
decades of music.
http://www.internetradioreviews.com/guides/wi-fi-internetradios-explained.html
http://absoluteradio.co.uk/
one of the advantages of internet radio stations is that they
are cheap to host as an internet site, some music and a
microphone is all you need also good for anyone running one you
can play whatever you want and make a station about whatever you
want, so there is a lot of smaller stations for niche audiences
as they can be run for a minimal cost. however its not all blue
skys as it can be hard to get a lot of profit from one of these
stations as you have to get a large enough audience to attract
advertising contracts. also it can be hard to get the rights to
play some tracks because of the limited budget, so you have to
be careful what you play.
an example of a smaller internet station i found is pagan metal
radio http://www.paganmetalradio.com/ they are a small
independent station that focuses on the Metal genre they play
music that is primary from Scandinavia, they choose to play
music from smaller band to help them grow in supporters and
fans. it is non profit and they offer to play any tracks from
your band if you send them demos or songs to help with
publicity.
they are a great example of an internet station because they are
small and they use the internet as it is low cost and can reach
around the world, they are non profit so even more of a great
example and they work to benefit new artists by giving the
publicity they need.

Satellite and cable

these are radio station that broadcast though Satellite and
cable networks, these are usually the big radio stations as the
can afford to use the expensive satellites and rend the
expensive cable facility. Satellites orbit the earth and
transmit radio signals they can be revived all over the world.
http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/satellite-radio-comp1.htm
One of the advantages of satellite radio is that it is worldwide so you get more listeners and you pull in profit from a
subscription from users. They are better for listeners because
they are usually ad free. However its very expensive and only
the biggest stations can afford it.
An example of satellite broadcasting is the way that BBC radio
one is available all over the world on satellite radio. They are
a huge station and have a lot of funding from the public being a
BBC station with public funding. They have a large audience and
play popular music.
They are a good example of a satellite radio because of how
popular they are world-wide millions of people listen to it
using the satellites. Because they broadcast worldwide they
publish news stories about world-wide news.

Part 2 laws and ethics

Laws on stories involving minors
If a news story is about or involves a minor (someone under the
age of 18) there are laws in place to protect said minors, these
laws are put in place so that no news networks can release the
name, address place of work or any other personal details of the
minor. This is good because it protects the minor from any
deformation in public interactions or from attacks from offended
parties. However I can limit the way that they can report a
story.
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/apr/21/disability-childdavid-cameron-cuts-to-support
This story is an example of the law it talks about the children
but it doesnt mention their names or where they live.
Contempt of court
This is when a news network tries to avert the cause of justice
by making someone look more or less guilty than they are by
doing a story about them. To contempt of court is a serious
offence and can result in prison sentences.
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2009/jan/21/times-contempt-ofcourt
This is a story in The Guardian about a times article that broke
the contempt of court law when they put quotes from some of the
witnesses saying that the offender had been wrongly convicted.

This is contempt of court as it could have altered the jurys

decisions.

Libel deformation
This is when a news network harms the reputation of an
individuals reputation by publishing stories that make them
look bad there is a law in place to stop this. This law prevents
news networks from hearting an individuals reputation; making
them shunned or avoided in public or making them hated and
exposed to ridicule. This law means that anyone that does
experience deformation from news networks can sew said news
network.
An example of this is the recent Jeremy Clarkson being compared
to Jimmy Savile a known paedophile by BBC producer when he was
talking to the press the fact that this was publish in the news
means that Jeremy was able to threaten with legal action against
the BBC due to the deformation laws.
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/03/15/jeremy-clarksoncompared-to-jimmy-savile-by-senior-bbc-producer_n_6873870.html

coverage of elections
When news networks are covering political elections there is law
put in place by off-com that means they have to give equal
coverage to all of the political parties.
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/broadcasting/broadcastcodes/broadcast-code/elections/
The rules state that during election all main parties must have
equal coverage and even small parties must get some coverage.

The BBC have their own regulations on impartiality. It is

pretty similar to the of-com rules if you look at this screen
shot from the bcc news website they have to have a point for all
of the three major parties Labour, Lib-dems and conservative
Official secrets act
This is law imposed in 1989 I means news networks cannot

disclose any information under the following categories without

permission;
security and intelligence
defence
international relations
foreign confidences
information which might lead to the commission of crime
This is good because it means that news networks cannot lie
about information to get stories and gain listeners; however it
means that it is harder to putout big world news items so more
stations resort to smaller celebrity news.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32429614
This is an example of an international news story that the BBC
would have to have to have permission to publish this story
because it is about international relations.

Ofcom
Of com are an organisation that regulate TV and Radio, they have
guidelines for TV and Radio stations to follow and look out for
people breaking those Guidelines. They also take in complaints
about different things for example if you were listening to a
radio show and a presenter said something racist then you could
complain to Ofcom and they would start an investigation.
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/about/
If the investigation finds the complaint to be valid then action
will be taken, they will determine the amount of punishment that
the offender should receive. This will be determined by a few
criterias such as the amount of actual or potential harm
caused, weather the offender had gained anything for example if
a radio station was being paid to say certain things by a
political party or private investor and how long the offence has
been going on.
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/about/policies-and-guidelines/penaltyguidelines/
BBC editorial guidelines
As the BBC is owned by the public the regulations must be even
stricter as the content has to be appropriate for the masses so
they have separate guidelines these are called the BBC Editorial
guidelines.

The guidelines cover a lot more than any of the ones for
commercial networks they cover everything from laws like the
protection of minors to electoral guidelines that mean that they
have to be neutral; they also have to worry about things like
promoting recycling, having accurate information and privacy.
This means they cant just go round to a witnesss house and
harass them for answers like other networks, and they cant
excaudate information like other networks this means that it is
harder for them to produce interesting news stories but it means
that they are completely neutral, unbiased and informative so
they serve the community and give them all the information they
need to make up their own minds.
Sensational stories
Sensationalism is when a story is grossly exaggerated like this
story to the left it is exaggerated to make people want to buy
the newspaper. Technically there is no law against this but it
is frowned upon. The headline BAGHDAD TERROR COMES TO UK is made
to cause you to pick up the newspaper. The quote is almost
defiantly false. Finally the photos shopped image on the front
cover making it look like the actually go a photo of the killer
in reality the act was probably done at night. All of these lies
are very unethical.
The way they excaudate the story is
disgusting not just because of the
vulgar way they report such a sensitive
story but what they are actually doing
they are spreading Islama-phobia making
people feel like the Muslim population
are enemies or that they are all
extremists. It is possible this paper
has dark intentions to you see the way
they make the Middle East sound like a
threat with BAGHDAD TERROR COMES TO UK
this could be to give the government
more support in its Middle Eastern
military campaign.
On the other hand you cant deny their
strategy is effective sensationalism
does sell well, any story can be sold to
people with already invested interest
but exaggerate it and make it seem
bigger than it is and you can attract
shed loads of readers.
All in all I agree that sensationalism is a good way to sell
news stories and can bring in enormous profits but I dont agree
with it, it is wrong it lies and makes people scared. Hell it
can even be used for population control and that is why its not
worth the extra profit in my opinion.

Invasion of privacy
This is a vital issue to the news and it is question a lot of
the time.
Many news networks publish celebrity stories about famous people
going on dates or being in public, this brings in listeners and
because people are interested in the whole thing, many people
say that it is in the interest of the public and makes the
networks money so it is a good thing. However I dont think that
that is so in fact I think it is completely wrong. These people
are constantly harassed by the media and photographed
constantly, they have to look amazing all the time or they will
be on the news for going to shops in their pyjamas or something
ridiculous.
Look at this story in
the Mirror Kim
Kardashian is wearing
a skimpy outfit who
cares? It so cruel she
is constantly
photographed and
papers make comments
on her outfit; she is
baring a child for
Christ sake who are
the mirror to tell her
what to wear.
This is gross invasion
of privacy what does a
celeb have to do to
get a break every word
they say, everything
they do is
immortalised in print
its barbaric.
In summary then I do
not necessarily think
that they should stop
taking picture of celebritys for good because as I said before
it is in the public interest and I guess it entertains people
but it should be at evens like the brits or other awards not in
their private day to day lives. That is too far!

Public interest
This is the idea that anything that is of importance to public
should be reported on for example if a US drone accidently kills
an innocent civilian then it is in the public interest to know
even if the government would rather them not. This sound good
sure but the problem comes from this idea not being followed.

One example of a horrendous disregard to public interest is the

casualty reports of us drone strikes this document has been
released yes so it does exist for anyone with access to the
internet to do so they get away with it. It is good that the
government has realised this report for all to see but that
isnt good enough the reason I feel this is a disgrace to the
Public Interest act is the fact almost no news networks tell you
about I could only find one article on it. Just look at the
table this is just one of thousands of pages and it shows that a
12 year old kid was killed by a drone strikes yet anyone that
doesnt go looking for that document would never find that out.
Even the BBC who pride themselves with having public interest at
the top of their priorities.
The fact is that even though a few articles have been published
about this report it is too few. To put it in context if a
terrorist had killed up to 200 kids it would be front page news
and never forgotten but if the US do it on foreign soil its not

even considered news worthy.

https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2015/02/02/almost-2500killed-covert-us-drone-strikes-obama-inauguration/
To summarise I think that the public have a right to know news
like this as it basically a war crime, and if you published this
on all big stations people would be interested and people would
tune in or pick up the paper. People say that this information
is best left unknown to masses as it protects political
interests and may change election results. Quite frankly this is
bullocks people have a right to know, and if that makes Obama or
the US less popular then so be it in a case like this those
responsible should be held accountable; in my opinion they
should throw the book at them, lock them up and throw away the
key but exposing them for what they are, showing the public the
truth rather than just expecting them to find it and shaming the
US for they have done is a start and needs to be done.

Story priority
This is the debate that some stories are more important than
others. For example why is a story about the Queen visiting
France more important than The UK election?
As an example I will look at 2 articles from the Daily Mail.

The story at the top is the one with the most coverage.
So let look at this the fact that loafs of bread are getting
smaller when exposed to carbon dioxide is apparently far more
important than the fact that an entire species of Cougar is gone
from this earth.
So lets look at the negatives of this situation first. So less
people are going to know about the serious effects that humanity
is causing to the natural world like extinction and instead will
be informed about the fact that bread is shrinking. Now I dont
know but the first one kind of makes climate change sound a
little bit less serious. The effects of this could be rather
counterproductive for example if you see that climate change and
human activity is causing loaves of bread to shrink you probably
wont care much but if you were to see that it has caused an

entire species to become prematurely extinct then you would

probably think twice before driving to work rather than cycling.
On the other hand though the bread story like most stories in
these scenarios might be more popular because it is entertaining
so the publisher will get more cash. Also the some stories may
be less important but they are easier to gather information in
this case you get all the info from the scientists with the
bread story but with the Cougar you would have to do your
research and thus wont create as much content as research cost
money and that means less profit.
So to finalise news networks prioritize stories over each other
because of listeners or ratings, they are in it for the profit
after all and I think that this is wrong. I think that papers
should prioritize stories by the size of the issue not the pay
check because at the end of the day the news is supposed to
inform people if it cant do that then why bother.

Immediacy
This is the rate that a news network will report on a story the
issue with this is that all the networks want breaking news so
they will release stories quickly. This can be both good and
bad.
So it is good because the story gets to the people faster,
people get to know about news as and when its happening also
they can bring live updates on already existing stories. This is
also good for the radio station because they can bring in
listeners if they broadcast the news first.
However if they all rush to bring out the story first things can
get messy, if they don't take their time they could rush the
research and get the facts wrong giving listeners the wrong
idea. In a rush to get the story out they could also break
several guidelines like privacy or harassment laws.
So overall I think that it is good to be quick releasing stories

but speed should not take presence over accuracy and ethics.

Follow-up angles
so a follow-up is when you get more information on a story and
broadcast more based on the new information. Now a follow up
angle is whether the new information changes the way you
approach a story or whether you keep the same view.
For example if you where reporting on the UK election just
before the final results came in you might have the angle that
one of main parties will get a majority but if later you revived
the news that a small party had gained a majority then you would
take a different angle on the follow-up.
One of the advantages of having a different angle in a follow-up
is that it shows that you are unbiased as you simple show what
is going on and adapt with you information, also it can help
show the new information more cleanly. On the down side it make
you look like you have changed you mind and people may loose
interest.
https://collegejournalism.wordpress.com/tag/angle/
The advantages of not having a new angle on a follow-up are that
people may keep watching because they like the original angle
and the fact that sometimes the new information you get could be
inaccurate. On bad side though you could look stubborn if you
dont change you angle or foolish if the new information proves
your angle wrong. Finally the new information could actually
make your angle look offensive and you could suffer from
complaints.

Audio availability
This is the availability of the audio clips you use, these are
usually things like interviews and on site reports. So it is the

access a station has to things like this. The more successful

stations will usually have more access to these as they are the
ones with more field reporters and are usually the first ones on
the scene.
The access to these clips effects the way a station runs its
news show, If a station has good access their show will be made
up of of site reports and pre made interviews. The smaller
stations who dont have a great amount of access to these tend
to use live in studio interviews and dont cover as many big on
site stories.
The issue with this of course is it means that the big net-works
will get the big stories and the big ratings and so the smaller
stations may struggle to stay afloat. However not all the small
station use big stories many avoid them by choice and have a
lighter more chatty news show with live interviews.
An example of this is the difference between BBC radio 4 and
Absolute radio.
http://absoluteradio.co.uk/
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4

Newsroom policy
A newsroom is the main office where all the news is collated,
researched and reported. Each news room big or small has its own
policy this determines everything from how they work as a team
to what their priorities are whether it profit or Public
interest.

As an example lets look at the news room policy for Canadian

news network Toronto star. They say that these are guidelines
and that it can be hard to follow them to letter on a 24/7

network but they try as hard as they can. At the top of their
priorities is public interest, they say truth comes from free
discussion and honest reporting, this shows that above all else
they will publish the truth even if it is hard to swallow.
Secondly they say that responsibility is important in their news
room through honest and accurate reports coupled with
transparent journalism much like the UKs BBC. They say The most
valuable asset a newspaper can have is its reputation for
telling the truth.Which shows their policys clearly. Finally
they say they are a paper for the people and they will try their
hardest to expose any injustice they find as they for a peaceful
Canada.
Human interest.
A story focused on human interest is a story about human
emotions and situations with humans that make people emotional.
To explain more a story doesnt just have to make you feel sad
it can be about something that induces happiness like a positive
story about a homeless man and a dog for example.
