International News from BBC

Here is the BBC newscast analysis...


Title: BBC News
Announcer: Michael Pauls
Length of the newscast: 5 min
The newscast is summarizing the hourly immediate news. The first news was about building massive barriers in western Hungarian to protect people from toxic smash of a damaged reservoir. The elaboration on the first story was expressive, but it took more time of other news pieces. The announcer didn't mention the reporter's name.
In the second news piece, the announcer didn't stop a while to alert the listeners that the first story has finished. The second piece was about the conflict between Israel’s and Jews on democracy. His sentences are very long that makes the audience lose attention.
The third piece was impressive and self-explanatory. The voice of the officer was well positioned and audience can get it quickly.
The forth piece, about Nigerian Politian, is well separated from the last piece by "BBC News.
The newscast wasn't interesting to me, because it lacks variety of stories. It was all about wars and politics, how about other fields, like sports & entertainment.
The sound was clear. There weren’t any nat. sounds.
The announcer's voice was clear.
The newscast was 5 min. only, which is very suitable for news headlines. However, the newscast included many explanations that weren't that useful; as the headlines were self-explanatory.

International News from NPR

Hey all,

Title: NPR Hourly News Summary
Announcer: Crick Windom
Reporter 1: Mara Alyson - NPR News- Washington
Reporter 2: Ophelia Constantan - NPR News - Okra
Length: 04: 46
This newscast includes 5 different news reports. They are varied between politics and economics.
The first news report was about Chili minors and how they are treated. However, at the end of the report, the main habitants agreed that they understood how to live peacefully together. And the last quote in the report was "the minors won't be the same people. We have learned from diversity". What is nice in this news report that the announcer gave a promise saying that "all minors will be off by down tomorrow."
The second news report announced that President Obama fire up democrats in the upcoming midterm congressional election. And he is trying to make them not to give up. Then, he repeated his famous sentence "Problems can't be solved by night." The reporter from Washington said that "Democrats are less optimistic than republicans."
The third news report was about President Obama and Nat troops that have been killed in Afghanistan.
The forth news report calls for the creation of independent monitor to review mortgages in the American banks.  
The last news report looked t the Future of oil in Sudan. People would report even to join North or South of Sudan to decide the possible succession of Sudan. And the reporter from Okra said that there is tension on oil producing in Sudan.  
NPR newscast was really interesting, because it has variety of news reports in many fields. Also, the announcer reported many stories nationally and internationally. The reporters were informative and giving another information than the announcer present. So, they can catch the listener to their reports. The announcer had some silence stops which alert the listener that there will be another story to pay attention to.
The quality of sound was very good. The announcer and the reporters had clear voice. There was some nat. sound behind the reporters.
The announcer delivered his message well. However, his name and place wasn't clear in both the beginning and the ending of the newscast. So as the reporters, their identifications wasn't clear at all.
The newscast was suitable concerning the length. It was short or long, but it didn't reach the 5 min as all the newscasts supposed to be.
