3) The target audience 
If you can’t find the official target audience for the programme, make an educated guess based on the rest of your research. Remember: % gender, age range, social class, level of education, job/earnings etc.

Because BBC News is only available to watch in the United Kingdom only a quarter of a Billon people watch it everyday. I generally think more men watch BBC News then women. I'd also say more older people would watch the news because they have more of an understanding of what's going on in the world. I'd say very little teenagers would watch the news but it i think it would range from 35-65. I would say middle/upper class would watch the news regardless of their education and how much they earn.

4) The running order for three separate editions of the programme. Watch at least 20 minutes of the programme on THREE separate days and write down the following:

• 
  The news stories that appeared 

Weather

Notting Hill Carnival: girl gets beaten up

Nothing Hill Carnival: stabbing

Sports 

Hurricane Marie in the Pacific 

• The order in which the stories were broadcasted

Hurricane Marie in the pacific

Notting Hill Carnival
Weather
Sports

• Why you think the editors of the news programme chose these stories and put them in that order

I think they put it in this order because they are both something to beware of because dangerous things can happen out there. They put sports last because its a fun thing to talk about.

• The news stories that appeared

Rotherham child abuse

Borris Johnson wanting to build another airport

Scotland debates why they should become Bank Of England

• The order in which the stories were broadcast

The secretary answered their views on child abuse 

The London airport plan.

Child abuse again/ Theresa has to pay compensation 

Scotland debates

BBC Sports

• Why you think the editors of the news programme chose those stories and put them in that order.

I personally think they put child abuse first to raise awareness because thousands of children are being abused and exploited.

And the least important stuff in the middle and funny news at the end which is just an update of whats going on.

• The news stories that appeared

Weather
President Obama promised there would be justice to a man who was kidnapped
Prime minister discusses islamic threat
Parents of Aysha released from prison
The doctor with Ebola was discharged from hospital
Sports

• The order in which the stories were broadcasted

Obama speaks about terrorists and how they won't be intimidated.
This is also linked with the Prime Minister news
Aysha's parents were released from prison

Ebola
Sports

• Why you think the editors of the news programme chose these stories and put them in that order

I think the editor put it in that order because they are the top stories for this lunchtime and most important in the world at the moment.
They put sports last because it isn't as important as life changing news.
