Tonal

Journalism "Once we are sure the story has registered with children, we believe our job is to cover the story accurately, reliably and without sensationalism. If you add to that the hearsay and half-heard comments that children can pick up in the playground or from friends or parents, and the story can often become far wilder or more scary in their minds than it should be." -- Tim Levell, editor of Newsround

A sobering explanation of the thought that goes into the children's news programme when dealing with distressing stories -- the section related to balancing stories across the broadcast is particularly illuminating and highlights for me that even news programmes can have a narrative of sorts, of tone, containing a disparate selection of stories.
