Introduction to Local News Analysis

Having looked at a range of national news stories, I'm now going to look at a number of different local news stories online to see if they also contain the 5Ws and to see if similar news values are included within the stories.

I am going to be creating a local radio station so its important to find out whether local news shares conventions with national news, and to see if the news stories are constructed in a similar way.
I will be looking at stories taken from the local regional news section on the BBC website, but also from local newspapers.
