BBC:

Basic details

2) How is the BBC funded?  Its work is funded principally by an annual television licence fee which is charged to all British households, companies, and organisations.

3) What is the BBC's famous mission statement? (Clue: it's three words) Inform, educate and entertain 

4) What is BBC1's programme remit? The BBC's remit is be the most popular TV service across the UK with high quality programmes.

5) How does the BBC News at Six fit into BBC1's remit? They share the views of the whole UK rather than their own views only.

Presenters
1) The presenters are George Alagiah and Sophie Raworth
2) The presenters would often be wearing smart clothing such as a suit but may not wear a tie for a casual appearance which could suggest that the BBC News at 6 is targeted at a younger audience most preferably young teenagers.
3) A TV news programme may use a variety of presenters to show diversity in the news studio as well as maybe change it up so viewers don't have to see the same people presenting time and time again.
4) Other presenters are used to cover different stories such as the different topics and interviews that are in location to cover a lot of stories.
5) There isn't much equality on gender as males still mainly have most of the positions. There also doesn't seem to be a diversity in the ethnicity of the presenters as they are mainly white.

Opening Sequence

1) The first shot is the graphics of the name of the news show.
2) The opening sequence includes graphics as it has graphics in the first few shots of the BBC news title and a moving screen which continuously shows moving animations.
3) Music is used in the opening sequence as it is used as the theme song of the BBC news title.
4) The audience are told the several stories that will be shown throughout the programme and all of the titles of the stories are introduced to them so that they know what they are going to be watching in that episode.

Studio mise-en-scène

1) The audience can see the cameras that are set in place to record the programme as well as the desks, the lights, the screen behind that the news is presented on as well as the studio.
2) The presenters are behind desks and I think this is because they have scripts or newspapers behind them to read everything that they need to say. Also, it looks more professional therefore it appeals to the audience,
3) Journalists and technology such as the cameras are visible to the audience and this shows them how everything done so that it feels more realistic to the viewers.
4) The studio is red as a background and has 4 main colours; black, white, red and grey.#

How news stories are presented

1) They present the story whilst standing behind a desk and telling the headlines of the story in which after, they show citizen journalism or the journalist goes to the destination.
2)  The programme has the presenter to camera, the reporter on the location, they present interviews, have graphics and images.
3) The TV News programme covers politics such as the elections, international news stories from around the world, sports news and also news related to crime and murder.
4) News stories are presented to keep the interest of the audience by making sure that the screen is continuously moving so that it does not bore the audience. They also keep the interest of their audience by not talking about one news story for the whole of the news programme.

2) Ofcom has a set of rules which is called the Broadcasting code and they make sure that the TV news is fair and accurate by letting viewers call and complain about what they have seen so that OFCOM can review it.
3) I agree with the accusation that the news is dumbed down because in one of the shows they put a down arrow on an animated receipt when it clearly said decrease beside it.
