Research: genres & formalities of News

You can now find some news channels dedicated to a certain specification of news and goings on, people are interested in, some of the main things people look for in news are often sport, politics, music and different media i.e films, but most news channels often include all types.
Here are some links to different genres of news websites:

music news: NME sports news: Sky Sports politics news: politics UK
media news: empire online

The boundaries and the way of how we watch our news has also changed as well, many news channels have differed away from the stereotypical boring news channel and instead are eager to per sue a more young, vibrant relaxed atmosphere.
Here are some links leading to different news channels:

channel 4 news video sky sports news video

as you can see these two examples are focusing on two different things, the sky sports obviously focusing on sporting highlights in a formal way using an anchor woman, reading out the news reel, where as channel four news is more focused on the biggest story at the time been set in a formal studio where the anchor man has the freedom to casually move around as if hes in his own sitting room, this could be putting the audience at ease making the news seem less intimidating.
