Industry statements:
  • The radio industry can attract a mass audience as well as a niche audience. For example, the Radio 1 Breakfast show gained 5.19 million listeners weekly.
  • The radio industry increases and decreases all the time due to the audience listening figures which are important due to the presenter. Greg James celebrated his show's success by posting to Instagram.
  • The age of the presenters can vary from young to old on radio channels. Age represents the type of music. Greg James is 33 and attracts listeners from the age of 15.
  • Social media, such as Instagram, can be used to communicate with the mass audience in the radio industry. For example, Greg James used Instagram to celebrate the success of the show.
  • The radio industry has evolved over the years and how we can listen to the radio on websites and internet, instead of a dial phone.
The radio 1 breakfast show is very successful due to the mass listening figures they attract, from 15-year-olds to older and the use of cross-platform convergence (social media) which Greg James uses to communicate with his audience and get feedback from his breakfast show.
Greg James is important to the breakfast show itself as he is important and chatty, therefore he attracts more of a younger audience and also by choosing popular, modern music, than classic FM, which has gained popularity.
The BBC platform is huge and very popular with all ages. Its a good motivational platform and celebrities can feature on radio channels/tv shows, where the audience can take advantage of this to meet them, like Finley and Sam Fender.

  I have chosen to do a NHS feature for my big issue cover because as the elections are coming up, a main proposal for left wing parties, especially labour are highlighting a NHS pay rise etc. This conveys with the Big Issue as although they don't follow a particular political stance, it is clear that they portray left-wing views and don't feature big businesses or banks, so to achieve this, having an NHS feature is very significant for the values and ethos of the big issue. I followed the Big issue house style and conventions by illustrating a powerful colour palette, through the rainbow and contrasts of yellow and blue make the cover stand out. For the background i used yellow to represent positivity an happiness, illustrating the 'sun' so that it can shine among the NHS staff. On this background i have engraved 'NHS' among it to make it seem unique and also give more appreciation to NHS and convey the values of Big Issue. I have chosen this specific cut-out o...
