As mentioned before, my part of the newscast is based on the death of a school boy his illness and the conditions of his school. I will be focusing on the safeguarding of the school, how the staff treat their students and the impact of death amongst loved ones.
What I could possibly include n my story:
The location of where it happened: The tragedy happened in Bow in East London. On the same week of the 14th of November (Nassar Ahmed's date of death), another 2 incidents have happened on the same road. This could possibly indicate that the area / road is a dangerous place. An undercover police officer had been stabbed (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2244587/london-bow-road-stabbing-arrest-police-officer-injured/ ) and a 10 year old boy had passed away after being the victim of a hit and run (http://metro.co.uk/2016/11/25/hit-and-run-leaves-boy-10-with-life-changing-injuries-6282558/).
When planning my script, I can include both these stories at the beginning of my section of the newscast. For example, "in between the death of a police officer and a 10 year old boy, a 14 yeard old boy - Nassar Ahmed has died from being in detention with serious health conditions".
In my opinion, Muslims often are stereotypically represented as terrorists or are portrayed negatively in the media. The media does not reminiscence upon the good things about Muslims. Muslims are neglected and not cared upon and I believe that the death of Nassar Ahmed must be heard, and justice must be prevailed.
Nassar was an innocent Muslim boy, as so all other newscasts and websites have said. He accidentally tripped over a dustbin and was put in detention for this - no reason at all.
This could be the case of racism / Islamophobia from the teacher who did not change his decision for putting Nassar in detention, even after Nassar had begged him to - or this could have been a misunderstanding. My aim is to investigate this issue and receive opinions on this issue from various people, using methods such as Vox Pops.
