there are many forms and styles that radio stations use within their news stories and the with the overall station itself. however, not every story is presented in the same way. here are a few of the ways a journalist can choose to present a story to its audience:

Bulletin: bulletins are many different stories collated together into a short and detailed way of presenting a story with the use of audio clips and interviews. a news bulletin is created to allow an audience to be able to gain a full view of the story being told.

Headline: headlines are a summary of each news story in as little wording as possible, still using the major details of the story to gain the audiences attention so that the story will seem interesting to listen to. a headline is created to sum up each story that is effective for everyone.

News Programme: a news programme consists of the whole product when its finished, that provides in-depth detail of stories for the audience centred around the headline that was given. they are done to address the matter to the audience of day-to-day news stories.

Copy Only: copy only is basically the way a newsreader gives a reading of each story. this is used to try and get the story across to the listeners. this is used to make sure that the audience gains a variety of ways of listening to a news story so that they stay interested and can gain a full view of it.

Copy with Audio: copy with audio is where the newsreader picks out and reads the main points within a story and uses soundbites/vox-pops from individuals in the public stating their opinion on the subject matter to back up the whole story. this is used to give more depth to a story and to make it as impartial as possible which in turn will give more emotion to it.

Voicers: voicers means that the main newsreader gives the information on the subject matter and then cuts to a news reporter on the scene of the story who has additional facts on the topic to create a better story. this form of reporting is used to break up the pace of the news which in turn will make it seem more interesting to listen to.

Wraps: this is basically and audio piece in which the news is wrapped around it. Wraps are used to give more information  and to make sure that the listener stays intrigued as the story progresses; continuity (news values).

Live Cross: a live cross is basically where a reporter has completed their section of the story and is followed by another reporter to gain their side and knowledge of the story. this is used to give us the immediacy of what has happened and to give us news of what has occurred at that current time period.

Two Way: a two-way form of giving a story within a radio station means that when a newsreader is leading with a story and is followed by a two-way conversation on the matter at hand in the form of a live cross. this is used to gain extra information in a similar way to the live cross way of giving a story.
