Planning for news programme

Now that we decided that we would do a feature on ASBO focusing on vandalism, we began to plan the shots that we would need. With the focus on vandalism we wanted to include some interviews in the news programme. In all the news programmes I looked at this feature was regularly used so we wanted to transfer this into our own programme.

We thought that we would interview those who were directly involved in ASBO to get their views on the matter. So we decided that we would try and get an interview with a police officer or a PCSO. They are directly involved with these issues from day to day and we wanted to get an upfront view from authority.

Recently the police force have introduced a new scheme the Policing Pledge. We looked at this website to get an idea of how to go about contacting someone to interview.


Here is a print screen of the website we looked at. The pledge is made up of 11 different commitments to try and make London a safer place.

On the website we found a general enquires form which we thought we could use to email a PC/PCSO about our coursework and see if they would be willing to let us have an interview.
