Television and Broadcast

The news program that I watched was sports center. Sports center is a daily sports news show, it consist of Highlight from sporting events, commentaries, previews, and feature stories. The broadcast that I watched commentated on a NFL game between the Dallas Cowboys and The Philadelphia Eagles.

I thought that the commentary on the game was very professional, i thought that they did a good job of staying  unbiased and stating the facts. The commentators of the game gave both team an fair opinion of what they did and did not do. They stated that the Eagles simply outplayed the Cowboys. This was true, it wasn't the fact that the cowboys played badly it was just that the eagles did their homework and came and played harder.

News media is media that has a main objective to deliver news to the public. News media include internet, radio,  television, and newspaper. Each element has its own unique characteristics that make it popular to people. they are also similar in some ways too.

Television news consist of journalist and reporters gathering information and presenting it on a news show. One popular way Television news stations gather information is by interviewing witnesses of the news they are reporting. The news stations also use news clips captured by by their cameras and sometimes captured by helicopters.

Two other forms of media are newspaper and internet. Newspaper include sections such as sports, opinion pages, news reports or analysis, and entertainment guides. Internet news can come in forms of blogs, news stations have websites and post news that way, On the internet you can also find some video footage of news media.


These forms of media are all similar because they all find a way to get out important information to people. When people need to hear Information these forms of media are all the first places they look. The difference between these forms of media in my opinion is what seperates them. One difference is the popularity and credibility. The internet is most popular form because of its accessibility but it sometimes on particular sites mostly blogs credibility is lacking and it sometimes tells false information. The internet is also on different because it posses basically all  of the other forms within it. On the internet you can find some part of television you can find parts of news paper, and you can also find radio.

Response to "Illusion of pain" by Joe Posnanski

Mr Joe Posnanski I liked the way you analogized boxing with another sport like football to show how situations can be similar. One thing i didn't like about that though was more than half of the article was about football. I can understand if it was meant to compare two sports, but it wasn't.I also how didn't like how you criticized what people wore to boxing matches obviously its common and it shouldn't be an issue. I think that you should have spoken more about the boxing match that took place since your first phrase in the article was "This will be about boxing,".

When you actually began to talk about the boxing match between Floyd Mayweather, and Victor Ortiz you stated that Mayweather outclassed Ortiz the first three rounds. I think that you should have explained what Mayweather did to outclass him. Also Your article was very one sided and you didn't give Mayweather the credit he deserved for the win. This article would have been much better if it was more about the boxing match and less bias about how Mayweather's win came.

Broadcast-Radio

The Broadcast was about how the mall of america racially profiled a Pakistani man to be a terrorist. The mall of america said that it wasn't any racial assumptions involved. they said that they target people that show suspicious activity. From this broadcast i learned that there are programs that try to find terrorist in public places.

The broadcast was given by Daniel zwerdling, and Margot Williams. I learned that They are both correspondents in a company named NPR investigative system. The two reporters both hqave experience in news and broadcasting it.

In the broad cast the sources that were used were the actual people involved in the incident. The had interviews with the victims to find out what actually happened. I think this was a credible source because they got the actual story from the actual people without any skewed details.
