  1. If i was ever asked to do a newscast, i will try my best to make it understandable for everyone while making it interesting and enjoyable for the public.I will also attempt to break the tradition of being "serious and dull" in the reporting of news that are not meant to be express to the general public in such "old- fashion"way.Why would i do that ?The answer is that i was beginning to feel that the newscast we are seeing now is just too boring and unattractive.I believe that it is the time for a revolution,as i strongly feel that by doing so ,it would probably attract the younger generation to watch out for the newscast.This would also add a new chapter to our history of news casting.

  3. If I were ever ask to do a news cast , i would try my best to make it intresting and informational for the public . I would also try to make it in a way so that it attracts teenages' attention too as teenages nowadays always play with computer games and other stuffs rather than knowing more about what is happening around Singapore and the world . I want to do this because teenages are the next generation , so I think they should know more about what is happening around Singapore and the world so that they can put it to good use when they work in society rather than sitting infront of the computer screen everyday and play computer games which is no use and is bad to both health and studies .

  4. If I were to do a newscast,I will try to make it as interesting and enjoyable as possible using as little time as possible.Teenagers hardly watch the news.However,by by making details of the incident short and sweet,teenagers will at least bother to watch it as they will think that it won't harm by only watching news that only last a few minutes.By adding cheerful colours to the news background,more people of the society will also at least spend their time to watch the news after getting back from their busy lives.When they see bright, cheerful colours,it will at least cheer them up.

  8. I will look through different sources and give a quick summary. I would focus on one main point and give the audiences a clear understanding of what our newscast is about. To let people trust our newscast more, I will interview people and ask them to voice out their opinions about the news like the victims or some passer-bys who had witness the scene. We cannot be biased based on just one source, therefore interviews are needed to get a better understanding.

  16. If I was to do a news broadcast, I would try to make it as understandable as possible so that people would not misinterpret my information. My news broadcast would also not be too flashy or too stood out as some people may not listen to the information but instead just focus on the creativeness. To me, news broadcasts are supposed to give information.

  17. If I were asked to do a newscast, I will try to make my newscast as fair as possible so that it will not be bias to any of the people who are involved in the incident which I will be presenting. Also, I would try not to use too much information as it could be boring for the audience. So, instead of information, I will try to think myself of how I will be feeling if such things happened to me, and what will I do in the future. Also, I will think before I act as there will be consequence. Done By: Lee min young(20) 1-3

  19. If I were given the opportunity to conduct a newscast, I would present facts consisting of the opinions from the residents, eye-witnesses, media, victim’s parents and friends. As a news-caster, I must ensure that my newscast is understandable to everyone while making it interesting and normally I would conduct it in a SERIOUS tone as the main point of conducting a newscast is to keep people informed about news all around the world. As a newscaster, I cannot present an incident only from a point of view from only the media report. I would take the media's and residents' report and opinions so as to prevent "buyers" report.

  20. If I were asked to do a newscast, I will make it interesting and short so that everybody including children and teenagers will be attracted and will watch the newscast everyday.
    To be interesting, I will be creative. To be short, I will focus more about the main point instead of other useless details which other might not be interested. Not only that, there will be many attractive picture and I will avoid lame and boring pictures, I will get a lot of different witness like teenagers ,old folk, and adults. I will give a brief summary around 30seconds during the start and the end of the newscast.

  21. If I were to do a broadcast, I will make it interesting by showing videos or pictures of the news I am broadcasting so that my auidences would not find that my newscast is boring and fall asleep as I will be sad. Actually, making the auidences listen to your newscast is that just smile to the camera, talk properly and try not to be nervous and make sure that the informations are true and act professional. That will make your newscast a prefect A*! Well just do your best and keep that smile up!

  22. If I were to do a newscast, I would try to make it as interesting as i can by puting in videos and pictures of the news I am broadcasting on so that they would know more about the happenings as action speaks louder than words and a picture tells a thousend words. They would also not fall asleep if i do put pictures and videos in. In a newscast, actually you just have to try your best to talk properly and not to be nervous. When you get nervous, your voice will tremble and it will be ruined. Must also make sure that the infromation that you are going to broadcasting is true and there is your perfect newscast!

  23. I will do a newscast trying to interview a person who pity the Professor and the boy and also a Mental Professor that will give opinion that what is the probably reason why the David will try to kill the Professor then commit sucide.This will make the news be unbiased and it will create a impression that neither of them is innocent or guilty.

  24. If i were to make a broadcast,the thing i will concentrate will be the summary of this whole incident that's happening.That's what all audience wanted to watch.I would also not be biased about my reporting and giving facts instead.Speaking in a stern tone would also be important.As most incidents are tragic,its not wise to be speaking in a chuckily tone.Most important of all,its not to be draggy.Draggy sentence/passages would bored the audiences.Videos and pictures could help in cutting short,as what always people say,a picture speaks a thousand words.Thats what i would do if i were to broadcast.

  25. If I were to make a broadcast,I would make it not only interesting but also concentrate on the key points of the incident which I am reporting as in this way my audience would want to watch as I am not bias and is reporting all the facts instead.My broadcast would also be short and simple but would contain lots of important fact.Those long draggy sentence said by the reporter on the news tend to make the audience sleepy and bored thus cutting short those information would improve this kind of reaction.Althought we can't be perfect but by trying our best in providing the information we might be perfect.

  26. If I were to have a newscast, I would try to make my newscast simple for everybody to understand. I would concentrate on giving the keypoints, as well as specific details. I would try to make my broadcast interesting and not too wordy and draggy. I would interview different people to find out about their different opinions. I would not allow my newscast to be biased, or else people would not trust the newscasts I make anymore.

  27. If i were to make a broadcast, I will make it interesting so that I can attract the attention of the teenagers. They normally like to play computer games and hardly watch the news. I will make it interesting by putting on videos or pictures with bright colours. We must also make sure that the information is true and reliable.

  29. If I am doing a news broadcast, I will try not to be bias by searching for a lot imformation and interviewing people as people may have different points of view. I will then compare imformation together and try to single out a piece of imformation that most imformation gathered agrees with it. I will then support my imformation gathered with evidences and not to forget, also pick out some imformation and present it to my audiences. I will add more pictures and videos and of course, less talking, or it will be boring.
