Treatment for News Story

Program Title: Role Models & Inspiration

This story is about role models that inspire and influence young people and motivate them. This story will find out what types of role models young people look up to and why.

News Values: (what news values will the story have? What are the main reasons people should listen to the story?)

One of the news values for this story will be proximity, as I will be interviewing young people in the local area. Another news value may be human interest as this may inspire listeners and they may be able to emphasise with the interviewee.

  What form (s) will it take and why?

[x] Vox Pop

[  ] Interview

[  ] Outside Broadcast

[  ] Interactive audience

[  ] Recorded in studio with sound bytes

[  ] News anchor speaking in studio with reporter

[  ] Other

This story will be carried out outside the studio. It will be a Vox pop. I will ask young people about their role models to gain an insight on why they have specific role models.

Who are you going to interview? When/where/why?

I will interview 15-20-yearold. The interviews will take place outside the studio, where I’ll ask them about their role models and inspiration.

Which of the following will be used? How and why?

[  ] Music (What kind?)

[x]  Sound (What kind?)

[  ] Silence

The Vox pop will take outside so there will be a lot of background noise, for example cars.
