ABC
News is a national recognized news program that is shown online and on
television on a daily basis. Channel One News is a program that covers nation
news, it is an online newscast. Both ABC News and Channel One News have their
own way of attracting views and keeping their show popular. Both use completely
different strategies that seem to work well.
ABC
News is a well known news program. One of the strategies to keep their views is
to keep a serious atmosphere on their program. All of the news reporters keep a
straight face and a relatively monotone voice. They also use the slogan, “More
Americans get their news from ABC News than from any other source” (ABC News [ABC], 2012). It
seems that using this slogan and the atmosphere that they keep on the show they
want to attract middle age to older audiences. In the atmosphere that they
create is seems that they are also trying to portray that they are a reliable
source for people to trust.
Channel
One News does things quite a bit different on their show. In the beginning they
do not have a slogan or any other verbal way of attracting viewers. They play
music and show pictures that would attract a younger audience. As the show
continues it is clear by their posture and the way that they talk that they are
trying to attract a younger audience. This is because they are more informal
and relaxed. Wear less formal clothing and showing their computers and other
equipment in the background. While they are still professional they put on a
face that would attract younger views because it is more exciting and
interesting. (Chanel One News
[Daily News Show], 2012)
The
sources in both ABC News and Channel One News seem credible. ABC News seems to
count on how reliable they are and their popularity and does not display as
many sources as Channel One News. ABC
News talks to only two different sources during the short segment (ABC, 2012). Channel One News
talks to several different people varying from locals to politicians on the subject (Daily News Show, 2012).
Both
programs seemed unbiased and that they were only presenting the news. This is
probably because of the serious nature of the programs: Connecticut Elementary
School Shooting. While both programs show the seriousness of the program and
how important the views of gun control and more safety precautions are
important, they do not seem like they are bias. This shows that the news
programs are ultimately out to inform people and not push people towards what
they believe personally.
Neither
shows display any racial or gender stereotype. However, ABC News does show a
stereotype forming, which was that all mentally ill people are dangerous. This
was said by someone that was for gun rights that said that we need to keep guns
away from “crazy people”. This stereotype is bad because while there is some
truth in the fact that unstable mentally ill people are dangerous, not all
mentally ill are dangerous. (ABC,
2012)
ABC
News and Channel One News seem to both be telling the truth as they know it and
not fabricating any of the stories. This
is because they both essentially discuss the same topics and say the same
things as all the other news programs that are reporting facts about the
elementary school shooting.
Because
both of the stories are a week after the event has taken place it seems that
both programs are reporting all the facts and not leaving anything out the
views need to know. This may have been different if these programs were the day
of the event or even the day after because it took a few days for the police and
the rest of the country to know the details of the event that took place.
I
only have one suggestion and that is for ABC’s News cast, they need to make
sure that they are not broadcasting anything that is stereotyping a certain
population even if the news caster is not the one that said the stereotype. It
is not appropriate and many people can be offended by it. Instead edit that
part out because it is not politically correct. Channel One News did a good job
overall in broadcasting the news, the only thing that I would suggest for them
is to have a more formally background for their news reporters in their studio.
The
World Wide Web seems to have an impact on everyone in the world in today’s
society that includes politicians. The web is the most influential piece of
media by far because it affects so many people in such a short amount of time.
People in the United States can be reading the same articles as the people in
Italy at the same moment and time. When this happens people are more informed
and can form an opinion before a politician can even address it. This makes it
harder for politicians to influence the views opinion on the subject at hand.
Overall the media has a huge impact on people’s lives and the
way that they view the world. That is way it is so important for news
broadcasters to report the facts and leave all biases and stereotypes out. When
they do that it makes it easier for people to trust what they are reporting
whether they are young or older. People need to have a news program to go that
they can trust and get all of the real facts from. Both ABC News and Channel
One News are programs that are trust worthy for viewers and come highly
recommended.

News broadcasters have an important job for their company and to
the rest of the country. They are responsible for getting the news out on a
variety of different subjects in a quick, accurate, and ethical manor. Many
news programs attest to being the quickest and most accurate program but they
are not all necessarily telling the truth. Some news programs do not use
reliable sources to get their “story” and sometimes they are bias in the story
that they are reporting on, this in turn leading to them sometimes fabricating
the story to make it prove their bias accurate. Many times when a news program
is trying to keep up with the compation they will report on things before they
have all the information, this can lead to inaccurate information or to few
details. The World Wide Web has started to have an effect on news programs
accuracy because people can find more information in a quick manor, forcing
more pressure on the new broadcasters and politicians to take a stance in
whatever issue is happening in the world.
