Journalistic Context





PRINT:
Newspapers: A newspaper is very formal unlike a magazine as their target audience is generally older people from the age of 35 onwards. They reach their audience by including all relevant content in their articles. Their interviews are always very formal so they can get the most information to the viewer. For example this interview with Tony is very formal and informative.
Magazines: A magazine is very informal compared to a newspaper. How informal a magazine is depends on its target audience. For example if the magazine is aimed at children between the age of 5 and 11, then it would be more informal than a magazine aimed at 20 to 30 year olds. They have interviews which are generally informal but have elements that are formal. For example this interview with Daniel Radcliffe for a magazine is a mixture of formal and informal. 







ONLINE:
Websites: A website is similar to an online newspaper/magazine. They just have the owner of the websites opinion and generally just their views. They will sometimes have interviews with famous people that can explain more about the subject. These can be a mixture of formal and informal interviews depending on the subject.

Online Newspaper/Magazine: An online newspaper is basically just a newspaper/magazine that has its own website. It has similar content on it to what was published in the newspaper/magazine. Often it is more frequently updated so it will have the latest news, gossip and interviews on their. Depending on the target audience, the interview style will often be the same as the print version.

TELEVISION:
Documentaries: A documentary is different to the news or something like a chat show because it often just focuses on one specific topic over the whole documentary. Whilst the other to can have lots of other aspects. An interview in a documentary is there just to find out facts and opinions as it is often very serious.


News: The news is different to a documentary or a chat show because it focuses on many topics such as sports, politics, finance and many others. They do this because they need to appeal to many people who will prefer to hear different aspects of the news.


Other (Chat Show): A chat show is different to the news and a documentary because often a chat show asks a mixture of formal and informal questions. These informal questions are generally quite personal and unique.


RADIO:
Guests On Shows: This is very similar to a talk show but it is completely different to radio news. It is similar to a talk show because they both are basically interview shows. It is different to radio news because the interviews would be more friendly with a guest rather than a recorded into for the radio news.

Talk Shows: Talk show interviews are very similar to guests on shows. This is because the questions that will be asked are probably going to be similar (formal or informal). Whilst they are similar, radio news interviews will not be similar to a radio talk show because the interview won't be as friendly.

Radio News: Radio news interviews aren't very similar to talk shows or guests on shows. This is because the news is meant to be very serious so they need relevant interviews that get straight to the point so they can get all the facts efficiently as possible.
