National News- Overall Conclusion

After annotating the 5W's and news values for my 10 national news articles, I found out that in all articles, they have similar values. However, some of the articles I researched did not have all the 5W's which I was quite surprised about. Now that I have analysed these national articles, I understand what to include and not to include in my news bulletin later on when creating my radio project. By doing this, it lead me to deeply think on what my news bulletin should be about if I want to make it effective to the audience, who is listening to my radio.
