How to write a Radio Script

Now we have reached the stage to finally write our radio script for our news broadcast. Therefore to find ideas and tips, I visited various websites and listened to different radio casts to find out how to write and present a radio news cast.
Here is a video clip I found very interesting about how to write a radio news script.



So far the things I've learnt from my radio script search are:

• Greet the audience and welcome them to the radio show.
• Think about the actions that are being put in the stage directions. Remember the audience can't see what is going on in the studio.
• Use sound in the background and how it will engage the listeners.
• Remember the include the five Ws' (Who, What, When, Where, Why) in your news dialogue.
• Don't repeat the same points 
• Don't be biased! you must have two sides.
• Be Clear, Consise and Correct with your information
• Keep the news cast around 30 seconds long.
• Must have simple and short language to not bore the listener and make it easier for them to understand.

Continuation of Survey Analysis

To find out more about our audience for our Radio News Cast, we conducted an online survey on www.surveymonkey.com. My partner and I divided the questions, here are the results for the questions 6-10:

QUESTION 6: 

In question number 6, we asked our respondents Why they listen to their prefered radio station? We asked this question as this will give us a chance to implement their ideas and thoughts into our audio broadcast. As a result the highest reasons was the music choice and the news content. Therefore we will make sure the news content and music we have in our broadcast is entertaining and suitable for our target audience.

QUESTION 7:

For this question, we wanted to find out why they listen to news casts. In this question we wanted to know broad reasons as this could allow us to choose the types of news we will have and how to present it. The most frequent replies we got was entertainment, so our main aim will be to entertain our audience through our broadcast

QUESTION 8:

Question 8 was more about certain aspects and features our respondents pay attention to that makes that specific radio station stand out. This answer also provided a wide range of answers. The answers were mainly about the content like the news, weather and music.

QUESTION 9:

This question was a more personal question about who the candidates listen to the radio with. This will help us consider any other listeners like older or younger audiences. However the most popular answer was over half listened to the radio by themselves.

QUESTION 10:

As we want our news cast to stand out from the different audio casts, our final question asked about any improvements the respondents could recommend or how overly satisfied they are about audio news casts in general. Most of the answers were that the radio casts were satisfactory and may need improvements like more entertainment and interaction with the audience.

Radio interview-Cyberbullying

For my interview of our radio newscast I was very interested in finding more about issues that our audience face in day-to-day life and raise awareness about it through our broadcast.

One topic that stood out the most was cyber bullying. Cyber bullying is any form of bullying through an electronic device. Nowadays many teenagers are experiencing cyber bullying from various websites like Facebook and even texting. 

To raise awareness I have decided to interview a victim who has experienced cyber bullying and share their story. As much as it would raise awareness it could also encourage victims to stand up to their bullies and the bullies to stop..well..bullying!
