Radio- Audience And Industry

Radio- Audience And Industry 

Radio is all audience and industry based and has nothing on representation or media language. 

Late night women's hour (LNWH) is a radio spin off from the long running BBC radio 4 daily magazine programme called woman's hour. 

How does LNWH meet the needs of it's audience?
the show discusses trends, social media and other cultures in an informal fashion. 

Who is the target audience for this programme?
Middle aged women who are middle class to upper class. 

What regulatory issues arise from this particular episode?
The radio show stereotypes Danish people. As well as this, the show is live so the producers are unable to regulate what the hosts and guests say. 

Why does the BBC broadcast this show?
the BBC want to broadcast this show because it is an all female show which gives the audience the idea that the BBC want to produce more all female shows in order to support feminism. 

The Truth About Women's Bodies

What is pluralism?
The view that there is no one correct logic, or alternatively, that there is more than one correct logic.

How does LNWH demonstrate pluralism?
Late Night Women's Hour demonstrates pluralism because they have several guests on the show to discuss a topic. From this the audience are able to hear several different points of view on the subject which will allow them to form their own opinion on the matter. 

The radio show Late Night Women's Hour is controversial because it discusses myths around women having sex. As well as this, the show talks in detail about a woman's vagina, how it works and how women can take care of their own sexual health.

Zoella- Audience Zoella's target audience: Gender: Female Age: 7-13 Ethnicity: White, English Social-economic status: Middle class Zoella does not have a mass audience as she targets a niche audience, a specific group of people.  Emotive content- the show appeals to its female audience through narratives that engage with subject matter emotionally.
