My news story is about how Northern Line commuters were encouraged to walk or cycle rather
than waiting for the train for their journey to reduce rush hour. The were being asked to walk or cycle instead of taking trains on a London Underground line to reduce overcrowding and they were being asked to avoid getting on the Northern Line. TFL said that commuters were had to wait for 2 or 3 hours to wait for their train and leaflets and information boards were giving out to passengers at Tooting Bec, Balham, Clapham South, Clapham Common and Clapham North.
During my research on local news, I came across this news story on the BBC website and thought I should use it for my news cast. The story didn't particularly amaze me with shock such as news like 'Miley Cyrus twerking on stage' which went viral in just a couple of hours and was all over the news. However, I decided to use this story as it is unique from the other stories from my group as it is about London transport which is useful for our target audience to know about.
So, in my newcast, I will be creating a Voxpop by asking local people in the area (Bow) about what they think about it. This will be useful as it would enable me to know a variety of other peoples opinions about the issue.
The angle I will be focusing on is what local people think about how Northern Line commuters were encouraging people to walk or cycle and if they agree or disagree with it. I will mainly be asking people who use the train frequently, however, my target audience is 15 - 18+ years old so I will also be asking teenagers what they think about it so I have a variety of different opinions.
