BBC NEWS ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b01gkh2k/ )
In this extract the current Leverson Inquiry (which is dominating the news) takes a major place in the heart of the news. The way Murdoch is represented in this is negatively because first they take a quote from him (which is positive) and then shows us he is not being truthful this tarnishes is reputation further. They also show us images of mark Dugan fighting for his life after being shot by police. This could be seen as a negative news broadcasting towards the police because of there poor handling of the situation .this is further supported by the words "which lead to the London riots".
This text is typical of a BBC text in many ways for example the national news anchor and the London news anchor both are Asian this could be to show that as a public broadcaster it is keeping up with the times as this country is becoming more multi-cultural. Another reason this is typical of thee BBC is its self boasting this is supported by the phrase " thee BBC has obtained footage..." another reason this is typical is that the program fulfills its motto of to inform (the actual news);educate (explain on new theories i.e the pills) and to entertain which it does through both (soft) news and through including us and making it interactive.
the target audience to this text is supposed to be wide as it is the news. however, certian things about it (i.e the old anchor) makes it more accesable to the elder population. socio economicaly it would probably be aimed at A B C1 .The text also fulfils certian things which can be applied to the uses and gratifications theory; is an approach to understanding why people actively seek out specific media outlets and content for gratification purposes. The theory discusses how users proactively search for media that will not only meet a given need but enhance knowledge, social interactions and diversion. the news is something which the audience would activley seek out to educate themselves.
