This is part 4 of my TV News Summer Project
Tuesday 22nd July - BBC Breakfast, 8:00 - 8:20
The main stories that were broadcast on that day and in this order were:
1-Rebels in Eastern Ukraine hand over the Black Box flight recorders about the Malaysian plane crash.
2-More than 100,000 Palestinians have been forced from their homes and 580 Palestinians have been killed.
3-After 13 years, Nato troops are preparing to pull out of Afghanistan. During their time there, an estimated 13,000 Afghan soldiers and 453 British servicemen have died - but the experiences of British and Afghan widows differ dramatically.
4-Prince George celebrates his 1st birthday with a party and a trip to London Zoo.
5-The number of jellyfish in British waters could hit a record high this year, according to researchers.
I think the stories were broadcast in this order because the first 3 stories are very serious global matters and so they would grab the attention of viewers, therefore boosting viewing figures. Also, it makes people more aware of the situations happening around the world, especially story 1 which could also act as a warning to people that Malaysian airlines aren't currently safe to travel on. The 3rd story could cause relief around the world, now that they know that the troops are pulling out which means no more fighting and potential loss of life/family members. This happiness continues into the last 2 stories which are stories that aren't going to cause panic or distress to any viewers so it leaves them feeling much more relaxed and in a better mood because if they finished the news with one of the first 2 stories then they would go away into the rest of their day worrying about those stories and how they would affect them/the world and because they're the main public interest stories.
