National News Analysis and News Values - Education Story

Having looked at the ways that crime stories are reported in national and local news, I am going to look at different types of stories, starting with education stories.

The first story is a national news story about changes in the education system. If you click on the link below you can read the full story.



This story will be of interest to many in the UK, as many families will include people who are taking/have taken GCSEs, meaning that the story will have a strong element of Amplitude and FamiliarityThe story is ongoing (Continuity) as reforms in the education system have been in the news for some time. In some ways, the change was a Surprise to everyone from the examiners to pupils - though it could be argued that these kinds of changes are happening with increased regularity (Frequency) and readers may expect these seemingly unnecessary changes. Personalisation and Negativity are factors as this is awful news to those students affected. It is a genuine Scandal as there was outrage from the whole of the UK.
