BBC News Communication Methods

Methods of communication used by the BBC:
- videos
- images
- written article
- podcast (radio)

Spoken language:
- videos
- podcast (radio) 

Written language:
- written article

Different modes are used to benefit different people for example podcasts benefit blind people and those who are illiterate and are not able to read. It also benefits car users as they are able to listen to the podcast while driving as they can not watch the news.
Videos benefit people that have trouble understanding what is being said without images to help them fully understand the topic. This also helps viewers witness for themselves the situation.
Images help the viewer predict what the article is going to be about and give the viewer an understanding of the article before reading the actual article.
Written articles benefit people with a hearing aid as they will only need the sight sense to be able to read the article. This also benefits people who are not good with images but but good with words (when people can read words but not make out what an image is trying to say).
