Presentation on Bulletin Comparison

As apart of an upcoming assignment we were set the task to create a presentation based around two different news bulletins which we previously watched. The first bulletin was from BBC Newsbeat which usually is around 15 minutes long with detailed information about multiple articles from hard-hitting to local news. The target audience for BBC Newsbeat is 15 to 25 year olds which is shown through young radio presenters and the style/type of stories which are broadcasted; the majority of the stories have a younger feel to it and are less serious, often about music and sport. The second news bulletin which I watched was from Heart which is a station aimed at the older audience from 22-44 year olds. Heart is a lot different to BBC Newsbeat as its more serious and the topic of stories are aimed at the older audience and what people of the age range would be interested in. The news bulletin is shown nearly every hour for around 2 minutes and is very fast paced but informative. Often stories shown on Heart are local or charity based which promotes obviously the charity but also Heart as a station, also a lot of the stories are hard-hitting but weren't shown in the BBC Newsbeat bulletin like the murder of teenager Alice Gross.
