So here it is, Merry Christmas... wait, that's not right. This is actually my final piece of radio for the year and is in fact just the previous three that have posted right here on this blog all edited together nicely. Well it's been fun doing the radio module, going out and trying to get stories... failing. Trying to edit and record your copy... generally succeeding. But now we're done, and I leave you with the script and the final bulletin itself in YouTube form.
Hampshire County Council has agreed to change the way social care is paid for in the area because the current system is thought to be unfair.
In a meeting this past week it was agreed that those who need social care will all have their own individualised budget tailored to their needs. The new plan would ensure that people contribute to their own care based on their ability to pay, not the services they choose.
The new policy will mean an average increase of between twenty eight and thirty six pounds per week for those affected. With heavy cuts to the council’s budget this plan would mean less contribution from the council to certain users of social care whilst others who are less able to pay would receive a larger grant.
Winchester's tourist information centre are pleased to have won an award for being the best tourist centre of the year in the south east region.
The centre's team leader, Sarah Harfield talked to us about the award and what they do for tourism and the community.

Thank you for listening if you did, and if you didn't, why not?

Radio Script - Social Care (plus audio!!!)
Well this is a novel idea, the radio script plus the audio? Some people thought it couldn't be done, we sure showed them. Enjoy my attempt at reading a script for my course and of course, for the news.
Here it is...
Hampshire County Council has agreed to change the way social care is paid for in the area because the current system is thought to be unfair.
In a meeting this past week it was agreed that those who need social care will all have their own individualised budget tailored to their needs. The new plan would ensure that people contribute to their own care based on their ability to pay, not the services they choose.
The new policy will mean an average increase of between twenty eight and thirty six pounds per week for those affected. With heavy cuts to the council’s budget this plan would mean less contribution from the council to certain users of social care whilst others who are less able to pay would receive a larger grant.
That was that, essentially a post I'd done before but with audio, any comments and constructive criticism would be appreciated. I can only get better with practice.
Until Next Time. Stay Classy Internet.

Radio Script - Audio plus script
Today I recorded the newsreader style audio and edited in my quote from a very nice lady at the Trinity centre in Winchester. What follows is the script for that audio which I think I stuck to and then a video containing the audio. Thanks for stopping by.

Radio Script - Social Care
This is the script for the first part of the Radio assessment. I took the story from a Hampshire County Council meeting that we visited as part of our course.
Hampshire County Council has agreed to change the way social care is paid for in the area because the current system is thought to be unfair.
In a meeting this past week it was agreed that those who need social care will all have their own individualised budget tailored to their needs. The new plan would ensure that people contribute to their own care based on their ability to pay, not the services they choose.

With heavy cuts to the council’s budget this plan would mean less contribution from the council to certain users of social care whilst others who are less able to pay would receive a larger grant.
There it is; the next part of the assessment will be uploaded (with audio unless there are any technical hitches) by next Thursday.

Journalism Now - BBC Radio 2
BBC Radio 2 began in 1967, evolving from the Light Programme and took much of its programming from the former when Radio 1 was launched to house much of the popular music broadcasting. The channel has gone from strength to strength in recent years currently labelling itself as “The Nation’s Favourite” as it has more listeners on average than any other radio station. The audience for BBC Radio 2 for example is 13,682,000 compared to 11,647,000 for Radio 1[1].
Much of its broadcasting can be described as AOR or Adult contemporary, although the station is still well thought of for its broadcasting of other more specialist musical genres such as the programme God’s Jukebox, presented by Mark Lamarr and covering genres as wide ranging as Soul, Ska, Reggae, Country, Gospel and Rap from the last 70 years. Unfortunately the show will be finishing its run by the end of 2010 with Lamarr leaving in protest at the direction in which the station is going.
As a BBC station there are no adverts at any time in the programming so we cannot determine the audience this way, but it is thought to have mainly adult listeners aged 25 and above although it has attracted younger listeners as its playlist contains current chart hits, album and indie music.2 The station is quite hard to position in ABC1C2DE ranges because it has no available data on those statistics, but by listening to its output you could presume that its audience is in the ABC1C2 range although the station does have quite a wide ranging appeal. I put it in this bracket because I believe the combination of presenters are more appealing to an ABC1C2 audience than a DE audience, who may be more likely to listen to Radio 1 or no radio at all.
The news is an integral part of Radio 2’s programming and as such it has a particular news agenda that you cannot ignore whilst listening. As an example, I took a whole day to listen to Radio 2 and took notes on the news of that day; the most interesting thing I found was the difference between 10am and 11am as the stories changed order and items that took precedence in the 10am bulletin were much lower down just an hour later. Even more interestingly, the last story of the 11am bulletin (on the cutting of the number of skilled workers being let in to the country) was the top story by 5pm.
On the station the news is more likely to have an unbiased view than a newspaper such as The Independent or The Daily Mail because it is BBC based and so has a code of conduct to follow which prevents it from bias. Even so, the priority it gives to stories in a bulletin does reveal something about the station and what the BBC terms as important; for example, the day I listened to was the day the Royal Wedding was announced and despite the BBC having a long history with the Royal family, the story was fairly low down. In contrast the Daily Mail included a 16-page pull out and keep section about the Royal Wedding on the day after it was announced.
BBC Radio 2 will probably continue in its popularity with a core audience that has made it the most popular radio station in the country today. It has a good mix of programmes ranging from the usual radio fare with a presenter, some witty banter and some music to more intellectual pieces like Jeremy Vine’s weekday show, which actually includes some fairly hard hitting journalism between the AOR hits and radio jingles.
