Media is one of the most influential institutions in a society. Although visual media may have a wider audience, factors such as being widely accessible, for example to travelers, and being received via smaller and cheaper receivers are among the advantages of audio media. News has always been one of the most popular sections of the national media. In this regard, a lot of factors are involved in attracting the audience: the content of the news (in terms of honesty in expression to gain the audience's trust); the time of casting the news (announcing the news before other media); the method of expression (maintaining fluency and accuracy while presenting the news); newscasters’ appearance, voice, etc.
The present paper aims at designing a framework for analyzing linguistic errors in the national-media news and examining methods of treatment. The focus was on the morning, noon and evening news of Radio Javan and Radio Iran between December 2020 and August 2021.
The findings of this study can (a) help to improve the quality of radio news programs in Iran; (b) help researchers explore deeply the errors identified in the current paper and investigate ways to overcome the challenges; and (c) assist trainers and curriculum designers in developing specific courses to enhance essential skills of newscasters.
The first step in solving problems is to identify its various dimensions. Research questions include: 1) What are the types and frequency of errors observed in the news of Radio Iran and Radio Javan? In other words, where are the weaknesses and strengths of the newscasters and in which area did they make the most mistakes? 2) Has the gender of the newscaster influenced the "number" and "type" of errors? What were the errors of the newscasters on the two radio networks in terms of their gender? 3) What is the distribution of errors in different news sections? What was the biggest challenge for the newscasters of each section? Has the expertise of the newscasters of certain news sections been effective in reducing the number of errors? 4) In which radio network did the most number of errors occur? How was the distribution of errors on each radio network? 5) Has the time of news broadcast been a significant factor in the frequency of errors? In other words, in which news section most of the errors were occurred: morning, noon or afternoon? 6) Has the total time of news been effective in increasing newscasters’ fatigue, and consequently increasing the number of errors? 7) How did the newscasters react to various kinds of errors? 8) To what extent has the type of newscasters’ reaction to the errors been different? How were the policies of the two radios different? 9) Was the gender of the newscaster an effective factor in the type of reaction to various errors?
