My Plan/ Script for the main audio task

The following is my main task plan, it will indicate the layout in which I will look to perform my five minute news bulletin.

........................................................................................................................................

Opening Jingle- serious sounding tune that will kick the news show off.

News Presenter- the news presenter will sound very serious and will inform all listeners about the latest news around the world and/or locally.

Sports specialist- after the main news presenter has introduced him; he will inform the audience of all the latest sporting news, including results and local sporting news.

Back to the news presenter- BREAKING NEWS! He will talk about the breaking news then, say something allow the lines of ‘we can now cross live down to St. Helier where our head news correspondent Dixon Cox has more on this breaking news’.

The main news correspondent will explain more on the breaking news.

Vox Box- main news correspondent will ask questions to normal people on the streets of St. Helier about their reaction to the news.

Back to news presenter- he will sum up the news and then end the show with the jingle at the beginning.

I will aim to keep to this plan as the structure of it would quite easily last five minutes (which ic the exact time limit we have on the news show). The following is a script for my show which will include all of the presenters.

Main Presenter- Hello this is News24 Jersey, with me your host Barney Orr. Our main news headlines are……………. That is all of our main news headlines, here is our sports specialist Jason Brown with all of the latest on goings throughout the sporting world.

Sports Presenter- The latest football news is that Jersey beat Guernsey in a thrilling 4-3 encounter at Springfield Stadium, which left the 900 jersey supporters with a deep sense of joy and satisfaction. Other results include Jersey Scottish beating a weakened Grouville side 1-0 and the Jersey Wanderers extended their domination at the top of division one with a routine 4-0 thrashing over relegation threatened St. Ouen.

Away from the local sport and England have taken a massive step to securing a first test victory over Ashes rivals Australia after fine bowling spells from Stuart Broad and Steve Harmison left the baggy greens with much to ponder. In Rugby, Johnny Wilkinson has reiterated his desire to force his way back into the England squad after recovering from a career threatening injury.

That is all of the latest news from me, back to you Barney.

Main Presenter- Thank you Jason, we have just received some breaking news involving the Governments decision on whether Cannabis should become legal in the Channel Islands. We can now go straight to our main political correspondent Michael Morris who is waiting in the Royal Square. Michael what’s the latest?

News Correspondent- As far as we are aware Barney from our close sources we believe that the States of Jersey have given the go ahead to make Cannabis legal in Jersey. Whether or not that will be the same for the likes of Guernsey we will have to wait and see. I spoke to a number of locals earlier on this morning asking if Cannabis was made legal would they be happy, this is what a number of them had to say:

Random person 1 (in like a really dull voice) - I think it would be wicked dude! We could all like have a massive party or something 24 seven.

Random person 2 (in a posh accent) – I believe it would be an absolute disgrace to allow the legalisation of cannabis to go ahead. I don’t want my children growing up under the drugs influence and I doubt any other respectable parent would want it.

Random person 3 (reasonably normal sounding voice) – I can’t really see if happening to be honest, the Government needs to use their head with this decision and if they do then the only obvious will be to keep the drug illegal.

News Correspondent- So as you can see where so real mixed opinion there that is all we have for you at the moment Barney, back to you.

Main Presenter- Well that was News24 Jersey with me Barney Orr, have a great night and we will be back with all the latest news tomorrow morning at the normal time.
