Radio 1 breakfast shows have selected the host specifically due to their ability to interact with an audience well as they have a big following over social media and on radio due to the lively and bubbly personality. They must have this great user interaction to reach their viewing targets. They do this type of interactions like polls and actual games to hook the listeners on and make them feel apart of the show so they gain the connection with the hosts and radio presenters.

For example, Nick Grimshaw has been involved in the past the pasty, an incredibly simple challenge but the way they involve different people, therefore, showing different classes and personality along the way gets people to talk and deliberating, about the show each day or at different times within the segment. Whether their comments of the show are on the radio 1 website or Instagram or in person but mainly their response is on twitter as it is an instant media. They way they got people hooked on such a simple of task of getting a pasty to someone who had never tried one before, just made it even more fun as it had a purpose, no matter how insignificant the purpose it was, it made it fun and the humor helped carry this game along.

Also recently the panic room with Greg James when they captured him and he was only allowed out with the code that he had to figure out and he had no internet only twitter and incoming calls from the audience, to help try and solve each part to get the code and as the riddle was so in-depth and wild it was able to be dragged out for  a whole week before he was able to find out the code. But as it was so long it had loads of different and interesting characters giving their opinion and thoughts on the matter to create discussions to ten get people talking about it and creating this sense of involvement with the public which increases the figures as more people will try and help. Again, this will involve all different classes of people from B all the way to D as everyone can listen to the radio as it’s a free service, so people have no problem tuning in even just for a brief moment to check what’s going on.

They also use polls on Instagram and Twitter to get immediate votes and decisions on how the show is going to pay out to the audience feel as if they are playing a big part and even if your not listing and just scrolling through your feed that might draw you in and entice you to into listening to find out what’s actually going on In the show. For example they use this for the music hour where the audience chooses what songs get played for an hour so they can vote between a selection of choice’s and after the next song that song then gets played and it shows fans joining in but also tells the show what songs their audience is liking at the moment so is in a way a bit of primary research and therefor can help the DJs select the right music and then improve figures.

Another example is the radio 1 big weekend the biggest show that radio  put on every ear with the biggest acts f that year headlining their best songs and then this is released first on the show live on air so then people join in to find out who’s there to see if they want to buy tickets to go and there for another form of interacting. Plus, they release special guests on socials so that people get discussing it and then join into the live show that they can see the exclusive interviews with the guests in anticipation of the big weekend.

To conclude, radio 1 try as best as they can to get their fans and audience to be involved and cater to their audiences best interest as this will help keep the fans coming back and the fact it is easy and free to access all of the interaction this means every single kind of person can then join in so no one feels left and out all have a connection to one another like one big family. Radio 1 have done a good job in including all into the accommodating show.

Why have print newspaper sales declined

  Newspapers have been in decline ever since the media was introduced, due to the media people spend most of their time on the social network as well as many other things. The newspaper companies have seen a gap in the market to generate even more publicity as well as brand awareness and have made a website where the public can go on and read the online articles. This has made the hard copy newspaper sales decrease as the public would be able to go on their phones or mobile devices and read the articles where ever they are at the time. This would be a benefit for their customers as they would also have the advantage of not paying for the paper as the website allows you to read the articles without paying whereas you would have to pay if you buy the print newspapers. But this is a disadvantage for the print companies as the sales have been decreasing each year due to the public not buying them.

Over the years many newspaper companies have either suffered or closed due to the lack of sales and income from the papers. The media is a big problem for the print newspapers as this is the biggest competition that they have to go up against, the media would result in them losing revenue which could lead to them going bust and failing.

The online newspaper website allows quicker up to date information on articles, this also allows the public to discuss with each other in the comments. They would be able to express their feelings with each other on each individual article and see what other people’s thoughts are.

The media would allow people to read the articles that they want to read whereas if the customer purchases a newspaper, they are limited on the news they can read. This would also benefit the companies that run the papers as the front cover would mostly determine which paper they would purchase. Such as if they had a less interesting front cover the public would choose a different brand as they would prefer to read something that interests them.

Most of the customers that read hard copy are the older generation this would affect the newspaper's sales due to the new and upcoming generation aren’t interested in reading the news. The middle and younger generation are more interested in reading magazines as they publish celebrity gossip and more human-interest topics that they would find interesting. Whereas newspapers publish more intellectual subjects that most aged 50 and over would find intriguing as they are the average age that reads newspapers.

The recent statistics show that less than 40% of adults who read Print newspapers are under 50, and less than 25% of Online Only readers are 50 or older. This shows that the older generation still purchases the hard copy newspapers but don’t read the online articles whereas it’s the opposite to the average middle aged as they don’t purchase the hard copy but they read the online articles that the papers publish. 

comparison between the guardian and daily mail

• Look at the Guardian website/Daily Mail website and compare top five stories on each home page.

The top five stories on each home page are different due to the information as well as the different target markets. The Guardian as a higher aged target market compared to the daily mail as this also aims to publish the realist stories whereas the daily mail audience targets people that enjoy celeb gossip. The guardian targets the audience that includes ABC1 which are more intellectual and wouldn't enjoy celeb gossip.

• As you scroll down the websites, are there any articles on the same stories?

In the Guardian, they have many stories on Brexit whereas the daily mail has multiple stories on celeb gossip. Both had stories on Brexit today but with different views, the Guardian published a story about how the country would fail if Brexit happens and the daily mail, however, wrote about how if Brexit happens this would lead to the country taking a step to becoming a better country.

• When you find two of the same stories compare.

The daily mail and the guardian both have stories on Brexit and they also have different views and the daily mail are for Brexit and the guardian are against.
They both publish their views no matter what the public think, they are both strong views.

• Then copy and paste some of the reader comments and reflect on what it says about them.

Daily mail-

Mother-of-two left seconds from death when she bit into a British Airways wrap that she didn't know contained sesame seeds after teen girl died eating a Pret a Manger sandwich on the same airline

If you have an allergy like this you're in the minority, therefore you have to take precautions when choosing what you eat Companies can't cater for 1 in a million

• Then look on social media and see what they have prioritized to post/reflect on reader comments there also.

Online the daily mail talks about greenhouse gasses on there twitter warning the public about this but there is no news on the Brexit or any politics. 

The guardian talks about Jeremy Corbin who is speaking about how the government are unrealistic. 

Both of these are different from one another and shows how The Guardian focuses on politics and the Daily Mail focuses on the gossip and celebs. 

The Guardian news values and target audience

How do they sell their products to advertisers?Who do they claim to be? Who are they targeting?

The Guardian sells their products in local shops that as well as the big shopping markets, this would apply to their target market due to them having a target market of middle-aged men. 

The Guardian claims to be a broadsheet newspaper company that advertises specific news that interests their target market, they also claim to not seek money from their papers they only aim to publish the news.

The Guardian targets an educated, middle-class, left-leaning, 18+ audience that would be interested in the type of news they advertise.

The Daily Mail 

                                                                            The Guardian 

Comparison-
The Daily mail shows news that's happening within the public and more of a travesty story, whereas the guardian shows more of a political story as its about Brexit. They are both completely different story's as they attract different target audiences, such as the daily mail targets people with children as the women had five children and she died, this is more of a human interest story. Whereas the guardian has more of an older target audience as the story attracts people that follow political views. Both news articles show completely different story's that target different types of people.

Language-
The language used in both are completely different as in the tabloid it shows more of a dramatic story as this is about someone that has had a travesty happen and has died of the result. This also shows conflict and human interest as the public would want to read about what has happened and tell others. Whereas in the broadsheet this shows a more formal story and more serious. The guardian has more serious wording and more detailed descriptions, as well as the title.


Comments-
The tabloid shows comments about what people are feeling and shows their sympathy, whereas in the broadsheet they have a discussion of what their own opinions as this is a topic that people have big debates on. The Guardian comments have more of a formal discussion and the daily mail shows a different discussion as they are showing their emotion.
