STV (Scottish) coverage of the election story

1. This is a regional news story as it is more from the perspective of the people of Scotland and what they want.
2.  regional angle.
3. This is more tabloid style coverage because it is informal whilst presenting the story and the news mainly consists of interviews with the Scottish party.
4. I would expect an older audience in the age range of 16 to 40+ to watch this news programme because it is a traditional news story based on voting and elections which appeals to an older audience and what they want their country to be like.

1. talks about the SNP as well as the other parties, this makes it National News.
2. The report takes on the story from a national angle.
