Is the BBC getting irrelevant to
teens?
What is the
BBC?
The British Broadcasting Corporation are a news reporting company
which was founded in 18th October 1922 in London by John Reith who
wanted to share what was going to happen in the world.
Teens are using phones to use social media
and they don’t need to know what happened in the world as they look at a
certain idol they love as they are more important than the news and the weather
as they use apps to get what they need instead of watching the news.
Teenagers are losing interest in the BBC news
has decreased to 23% as social media has risen to 49% which show the BBC will
have less viewers each day as most people use social media all the time and
don’t pay attention to the BBC as much as they used to as phones can be used
anywhere, and the news is not really needed by teenagers as they use Facebook
and YouTube and other social media and don’t need to look at the BBC as much as
they did in the past.
People have said that the BBC are as not as
interesting as it was in the past as they only included what’s happening to the
UK and some parts of the world instead of just certain countries they always
focus on every time that the countries are being used as the information has
been released and most teens don’t want to know about what’s happening in the
world that doesn’t concern them and is getting irrelevant to Scottish viewers
and the BBC are losing viewers from their radio stations.
The BBC is
losing viewers between 16-34 dropped from 60% to 56% in the recent reports
released by the government this shows people are slowly losing interest in the
BBC as its getting more and more irrelevant everyday by viewers as by the survey
data collected below:

The annual plan also uncovered that more than 80% of
children use YouTube for on-demand content, 50% use Netflix, and only 29% use
iPlayer. Children aged 5-15 also on average spend more time each week
online (15 hours and 18 minutes) than they do watching TV (14
hours). “This generation of children embody the digital transformation,”
said the BBC which shows what the BBC are losing viewers to other companies
which don’t make the news which shows that the elderly need to know what is
going on in the news everyday than teens as the people who are above 20 will
need to know the weather and what happened to the UK and parts of the world
when its important as teenagers are using other services to find out what their
friends are up to instead of looking what happened in the world. This are some
picture people made to say their irrelevant to people
The next step for
the BBC is to put the news on social media and make announcements which will
get the teenagers attention so than they will take a bit of attention to the
BBC news online than social media and get it into their recommended on YouTube
so they might get interested again into the news so than the BBC will regain
the teenagers attention they lost since social media had taken over their lives.
The final BBC design solution,
i used the template in Photoshop and edited the text so then it was related to my story and all the images i had to put on there support my idea which are place holders for them and halfway though the place holder for the video is there so then when its on a website and clicked a video will play.
Video idea: Explain the narrative and representation of your video short to support your article.
my videos narrative was to get opinions on the BBC from two different age groups nd present it as a video so then when it was edited into one video people could see the two opinions and see which they agree with her.
Video script / SB: both
need to be on your blog.

Alex: you can see whats happening in the world, whats the weathers going to be like outside and you know whats happening in your local area
me:name
Sarah: my name is Sarah
me:do you think the BBC is irrelevant to teenagers
Sarah: i think the BBC is a bit irrelevant to teenagers especially the news because it is so long. teenagers are used to seeing headlines and reading about things really quickly and the news takes them so long to read and they get bored with it
me: do you think the BBC is irrelevant to teenagers
Alex: you can see whats happening in the world, whats the weathers going to be like outside and you know whats happening in your local area

Testing of BBC story in situ: Test against your target audience + feedback.
feedback
Jakub (17): this story is a bit engaging to me as the story represent to days teens like me as i don't read the news but the video was a bit boring as i didn't understand what was happening or know what was being said. Xiang (15): this BBC story was interesting to me because it shows how the BBC are losing interest on teen viewers like myself as i find the BBC very boring.
Evaluation: How successful was the
outcome
The outcome was successful as the feedback i got was positive and was interesting as people reacted differently than i thought as they would be more negative as i thought that the bbc would be more irrelevant to my target audience as one doesn't watch it while the other one does a small bit.
But the outcome was also a small bit unsuccessful
