   Dear Sir/Madam,

   
   
   

   I am writing to inform you about a new news show that we would like to begin production on and start broadcasting on March 27th, the Show ‘Southend Local’ which is going to be a factual broadcast for the latest from around the Southend area and some bigger headlines from the rest of the world, This show is targeted at an audience of 40+ but still make it watchable for College and University students when they come home in the early Evening.

       By making this news show we are helping inform the Southend Community which will also help promote people to events happening in the area as well as warning them about any dangers on their doorstep, the overall tone of the show will be informative and function like the current BBC news does and use the Southend regional colours of Blue and Yellow in our intro and theme for the set layout, to get all the information out in the 20 minutes of running time the pace would be fairly high with Intros and Outros lasting 5 seconds each with a catchy theme similar to a ring tone alerting the viewer of a change from a VT clip and Studio clips, the dialogue will be formal and the pieces will follow the ‘Inverted Triangle’ way of structuring new stories.

       As for the team we have assembled so far we have; Nicola Sinclair as the Producer, Jemma Land as Director, Connor Sadler as Writer, David Neale as First AD and Maddie Govier and Steff Preston as hosts. As a group we are going to look into any Southend exclusive broadcasting stations and possibly get a partnership with ‘ECHO’ the newspaper available for people who live in Southend, this news show is predicted to help give the ECHO more publicity and also help get more people actively looking for events in the area.
