Election

1.The angle of a news story is the side or main subject of a certain story like BBC might broadcast the election in David Cameron view. A tabloid focus more on celebrity, gossip, sport and many unnecessary things unlike a broadsheet which focuses more on important things like politics and disasters. In short broadsheet is much more serious than tabloids.
International- World news
national-UK- wide news
regional-London, Yorkshire, Scotland
local news-west London,Leeds,Edinburgh

2. BBC news election

The coverage of the election is National as is affects everyone over the UK. The BBC took a UK angle to the story as they explain the pros and cons of the labour parties towards the UK NOT in other regions of the world or pin pointing local areas. The BBC's coverage of the election was a broadsheet type as they were very serious on this important topic and careful to be unbiased.
