Introduction to local news:

After looking at several national online news articles I will now be analysing local news. I will be looking at the 5 W's and the news values. This will help me then compare between national and local news.

I will be creating a local news bulletin for my radio show so hopefully this research will help me pick the most interesting stories to keep my audience interested.
