1) TV conventions (Fox news)
Expectations of the news = its conventions
If someone sticks to the conventions they are conventional, if not then they are un conventional.
Noted TV News conventions:
- Impartial
- Balanced
- Un biased
- Objective
- Graphics.
- Voice over, running across a number of pictures
- Interviews
- Presenter
- Reporter on scene (direct address)
- The same type of stories are in the news today since when it first started (Politics, disaster, entertainment, sport ect)
Directors and presenters, use direct address to inform the viewers almost as if they were in the room talking to us.
New has a specific order:
Title.
Main headlines.
Top story
Story2
Story3
Story4
Light hearted/final story
Weather
Sport.
The news has always had a specific running or, that has remained the same during the decades it's been broadcasted.
