Identify
a national story that is currently in the news.
Select
two of the following major media outlets that are both covering
the story:
ABC News
CBS News
CNN
Fox News
MSNBC
NPR
Search
for coverage of news story you have selected from each of the
two outlets.
Note
: The stories you choose to compare may take the form of a live
broadcast, video, audio, or printed word (e.g., you may select a
CNN live broadcast and an ABC written article.
Write
a blog entry that addresses the following:
Do both media outlets use a traditional journalistic perspective
in presenting the story? Explain your response.
Are the sources used in the news stories appropriate or
credible? Why or why not?
Is the message of the story the same as presented by each media
outlet? What is the message of each story?
Did one story seem more believable to you than the other?
Explain.
As outlined in your textbook, truthfulness, neutrality, and
accuracy are three criteria for determining the quality of news.
Did each story have all three? Did one story have more or less
of one of the three qualities? What prompted you to determine
this?
Does either outlet present the story in a manner that is biased?
If so, how did you recognize the bias? If not, how did the story
appear to avoid bias?
If one or both of the stories were biased in some way, what are
your suggestions for making them more fair and balanced?
Does either story include overtones or elements of racial or
gender stereotypes? If so, describe.
Do any of the stories appear to be incomplete or require
additional context for viewers to fully understand the meaning?
Could different audience types interpret the stories in different
ways? If so, in what ways?
Format
your assignment according to appropriate course-level APA
guidelines.
Submit
your assignment to the Assignment Files tab by copying the link
into a Word doc.
