Evaluate the article and podcast (U20: M3, D1, D2)
M4 (U7): Explain the mode of address and structure used
As my article was aimed at a 16-25 year old target audience, I ensured to make the topic I was reporting on have a relation for said target audience. This was done by me interviewing two people in the same age bracket (only one interview made the final cut). By doing this, I was ensuring that the people reading the article (16-25 year olds) could see how what was being discussed applied to them.
Because the brief only specified the target audience of the newspaper, I decided that in my interpretation that it would be a broadsheet and therefore wrote a news story for this type of newspaper. This is evident from the "almost essay like writing" that was used to describe my writing when a reader commented on my work. Although I changed the format after hearing this comment to fit more within the lines of a broadsheet news paper, the writing style was kept mainly the same. The style was mainly seen from the absence of the of the crutch to use colloquial language and celebrity references that are used in most tabloid newspapers.
What I was reporting on wasn't breaking news, but was rather a human interest story so my style of writing had to change in line with this. This can be shown in my reluctance to use dates with references to events that happened on specific days, an element that is crucial in most breaking news stories in newspapers. I instead used years and months to give readers a frame of reference when it came to keeping track of time concerning the story I was reporting on. By focusing on the past decade as well as the possible future, the nature and urgency of my story changed.
D2 (U7): Compare and contrast the regulatory implications for the article relevant to the medium in which it is transmitted
The IPSO Codes of Practice
1. Accuracy- All information given about the quoted streaming companies were released by said streaming companies. An example of this was when I wrote how much Netflix spent on content in 2019 as opposed to 2018. As Netflix didn't release the amount they spent on content in 2019, I ensured that I would adhere to the accuracy IPSO code of practice by using the word "estimated".
2. Privacy- All individuals used in my story gave consent to give the quote they gave. The quote I used from Alex Shaw was directly what he provided and I ensured that he was fine with me using his name and profession in the article prior to including it. However, the quote I used from Barry Dillar he originally gave to CNBC. As to not cause any legal issues, I included the source of the quote in my article.

D1 (U16): Evaluate how the technical and auditory qualities meet the identified purpose
The soundtrack used in my podcast contains an array of sound effects ranging from intro and outro music to brand logo themes that are recognisable to large amounts of the general public. These were all included to captivate interest from the audience mentioned in the client brief being 16-25 year olds. By associating the podcast with the high production value and entertainment from the streaming services that my audience are used to consuming and were talked about for the majority of the podcast, I ensured that the target audience for my podcast would stay in line with the brief.
As the topic of my presentation and the majority of the statistics mentioned were all used in my newspaper article, I adhered to the client brief as both pieces of content were in heavy relation to one another.
This screenshot shows the editing process of my podcast. As shown, I decided to use a smaller amount of sound effects for the podcast than originally planned in the script. This is is because of the very nature that I was writing them for, being that most times a piece of pop culture or a reference came up in the scripted conversation between my guest host and I, an edited sound bite referring to the same piece would come up, almost as if it were to remind the listener of what we were talking about. However, because of the vast scale of these types of sound effects, it became evident in the editing process that the listener would eventually feel drowned the erratic repetitiveness of said sound effects and would end up losing focus on the content that we were trying to discuss in the podcast. This came to infringe on one of the client requirements, which was to present an array of foley sounds. Because of the cut of the keyboard sound originally included, only one foley sound was included in the podcast (the voice over in the intro and outro).
