Known simply as the intro, the newsreader immediately introduces the episode to the audience.
There might be a voice ident where the presenter mentions the name of the broadcast and the current time:
“This is Newsbeat at 3.45pm”.
The intro could be in the form of a bulletin – a list of the main stories which will be featured in the broadcast.
MULTIPLATFORM
The Newsbeat producers responded to this challenge by serving content on their website, YouTube channel, Twitter account and Instagram profile. Taking a multi-platform approach ensures the product remains relevant to its audience.
