| Overview
of the whole Project
(summarise what you have been asked to do across all the tasks): The main task is to put together a radio show aimed at 2 different audiences. We have been asked to research 2 different types of music genre, that fits into a younger generation and older generation - and organise it successfully. We then had to create (mix the tracks) to "near" professional standard using Adobe Audition. After this we had to do pre-production on putting the radio show together (this includes Codes of Practice & Regulatory Issues). Once the pre-production was copmplete we have to add news features e.g Vox pops, interviews, soundbites and actuality. We then have to pre-production for the "Student show" which will be included in our radio show. Lastly, we have to do research on Brighton for the feature, and pre-production yet again for the "Staff show". To conclude, we need to evaluate our work. |

of Practice / Regulation
(Discuss here the implications of the MCPS-PRS, Copyright, Ethics, OFCOM, Legal
Considerations. For any Radio company to be able to legally play music they must have a liscence from the PPL & PRS (Photogenic performance ltd & performing rights society). If a company fails to get a liscence and plays music through the Radio they are liable to get fined. Radio stations must also follow guidelines and rules, which are set by OFCOM - these are called 'The Ofcom Broadcasting Code'. This code has 10 major sections: Section one: Protecting the under 18's - this section is about the regulation of mature content, and the safety and precautions taken to keep children (under 18's) away from it, or be aware that they could be watching, this includes stuff like sexual content, swearing and drug use for example. Section two: Harm and Offence - must be extremely aware of content to ensure that generally accepted standards are applied to the content of television and radio services so as to provide adequate protection for members of the public from the inclusion in such services of harmful and/or offensive material. Section three: Crime - this section is here to stop the radio becoming a catalyst to incite crime or "lead to disorder". Making sure that nothing that is released causing this infliction. Section four: Religion - brief -this Section five: Due Impartiality and Due Accuracy and Undue Prominence of Views and Opinions Section six: Elections and Referendums Section seven: Fairness Section eight: Privacy Section nine: Commercial references in Television programming Section ten: Commercial Communications in Radio programming For the news feature Any journalist working for the company must also follow the NUJ, which is the National Union of Journalists - which is a code of morals which follow ethical practice e.g - Impartiality. link to |
