Digital News Production: IDEAS

In our groups we needed to work together to find different ideas for our channel. Vic, Charlie and I all decided to first begin brainstorming a variety of ideas, then we would decide what genre of website we wanted to create.

I have put together some of the ideas our group thought of on the Prezi below.

Below I will give a very brief explanation of our two current MAIN ideas. (full individual research on my next post!)

After a lot of research and discussion into each topic and subject including looking at the positives and negatives such as;
Will it be allowed? Can we create content from the story? Will it fit into a package or a ''live'' news report? Will we cause too much bad publicity (food restaurants under investigation), How easy can get in contact with people and is it interesting? we soon narrowed it down to looking at a 'rewarding' story (for our package piece) which we found off www.tasteofkentawards.co.uk whilst looking for reward/food/competition stories. We found a garden called 'Hugh Lowe Farms LTD' which is an established garden of over a century that has won an award for 'The Garden of England' the farm also takes part in a lot of other activities which we have yet to research fully into.

For our ''live'' piece we decided to choose a similar theme which also pushed our decision to have our channel as a nature/wildlife theme.

We found a charity called The RSPB which is a nature conservation charity found in 1889, also working internationally to protect birds and wildlife. We also found an event called The Big Garden Birdwatch on the 16th and 18th of October which are fundraisers that we thought we could attend and interview the fundraisers for our ''live'' piece.

On my next blog I will further discuss the ideas we found including research into Hugh Lowe Farms LTD Gardens and The RSPB.
