Below is my final script that I wrote with the help of my research that I gathered from analysis of different radio stations and research into news, news values, the 5Ws and representations. This has given me an understanding of how my radio station should sound, and how I can make it more authentic.

Patrica Smith:
As I saw the water coming in, I started to panic, running around, trying to scoop up water as much as I could. Once the water reached the kitchen, I tried calling companies that could come and pump the water out. Their phone lines we're engaged, so after an hour of the water coming in, we packed over night bags and stayed in a hotel nearby. I'm dreading going home, I can't imagine how bad the damage will be.
News Presenter:
Meanwhile the London Met Office is warning that there's still heavy flooding yet to come, so stay with 'Urban Fm' for all the latest weather updates for London.

Outside Broadcaster: - Michelle Miller:A former juvenile delinquent who was sentenced to life in prison at the age of 16 without parole, has seen his sentence reduced because of a new law preventing minors from being given life sentences. 'Trevor Kieff' left Wandsworth Prison earlier this week after having served a 17 - year sentence for the murder of teenager 'Taylor Phillips' in Battersea in 1996. Urban City's correspondent Michelle Miller was at Westminster county court this morning, getting a measure of public opinion about the changes brought in by Justice secretary Chris Grayling
According to justice minister Chris Grayling, inmates convicted of a crime as a child should be given a second chance. Trevor Kieff' spent 17 years in prison after being convicted for murder at the age of 16. The prisoner's family made an appearance at today's hearing, showing their support for the 33 year old. 'I spoke to residents of Westminster outside the court to get their reaction to the new change to the law, surprisingly many were against the change.
Vox-Pop 1:
If you decide to take the life of another human being, you must suffer the consequence of your own actions. We should think about the victim's family, they lost someone close to them, someone whom cannot be replaced.
Vox-Pop 2:
I'm a mother of 4, if some one ever harmed one of my children, I'd want them to stay behind bars for the rest of their life.
Vox-Pop 3:
I don't think it's that simple you know, that they can just lock you up and throw away the key. Even people who murder other people should get the kind of chance to maybe turn their life around in 20 year time. I mean... this guy was basically a kid, but he was triled as an adult. I believe everyone deserves a second chance.

The trial continues at Westminster County Court this week. Michelle Miller for Urban City Fm
