Analysing articles about radio
Weekly Magazine, 11th - 17th 2007
I have analysed a newspaper article from the Weekly Magazine
which implies that the rising issue for radio industries is that more and more
people are becoming disengaged and uninterested in radio news, due to other
platforms in which news is broadcasted. Within
the last 3/ 4 years the figures for radio news audience has dropped. A survey involving
2000 people who were asked which was their main source of media was conducted,
they have found that up to 65% people use the television as their primary
access to news. These figures have not changed since 2002.
The fact that this article was published in 2007 shows the
lack of radio use, which suggests that due to new media emerging radio news will
be given less and less preference to.
I have learnt that as time and technology progresses radio news is becoming increasingly unpopular.
