JN2301 - Assignment 1 - Producing a Radio Bulletin

The first assessment for JN2301 didn't come until just before lecture recess. We were tasked with either producing one story with multiple angles or producing a news bulletin with multiple stories and at least 2 grabs.

I opted for the easier option - producing a news bulletin with multiple stories. This is probably due to my belief that it's unlikely you'll be given an opportunity to produce a lengthy radio news story being an hourly news bulletin radio anchor.

The bulletin I produced was for UCB Radio Australia (Vision Network) that produces hourly news bulletins for stations radio stations around the country, including 99.9 Live FM (a local station in Townsville).

The stories I featured for the chosen day, being 20 April 2013 are listed below:

• Boston Marathon Bombings - Second Suspect Arrested. 
• More asset sales in QLD.
• A different kind of church service.
• NAB releases charitable giving statistics
