compar and contrast

News is part of our daily life, we encouter news either by tuning into television, or driving over to work when the radio is on or simiply by picking up a newspaper along with some sort of snack at the store around the corner. We engage in some sort of news could be local, national or international whichever one interest us. Even if we dont pay much attention to news the news itself gets around because of the public. However, who helps the audience with the knowlegde of news and who keeps them updated with current news. Those would be journalists, reporters and news ancors. All of them are given information to educate us about the news, some may such as the journalist or the reporters have the resposibility to get their own story while the news ancors are told to present a news with given information. However the news is presented to us it varys according to the coverage offered by each medium. Each medium has their own way to offer the information and tell the story. The two types of medium discussed will be newspaper and television news. Newspaper such as ' The record' and television news show such as 'CKCO-TV's' present news in different techniques.

As I picked a copy of The Record on my way back to school from a store just


While coming across each medium they all tend to tell the story in the same way no medium tells it in a different way then the other. However, I did come across one news that was talked about both by The Record and CKCO news. The news was about the women getting injured from the fire in her house. Now the Record mentions and only talks about how the women got injured and also talks about her son jumping from the window because of the fire as well, while on CKCO news they only talked about how the fire was created. The police say it was from the toaster and whole story was talked about that specific issue. Nothing was said about the son jumping out the window, so I was surprised to read The Record and come across the piece of information about her son getting injured as well from the fire. I suppose this is because each medium tries to get the full story but sometime fail to, but they never fail because they always tend to give the story but in there own way. If not the same exact story then something that gives some extra piece of information.

As a news consumer I would say I can understand the news better when reading it then viewing it. Only because when watching the news I tend to get distracted when visuals are presented to me. I don't listen and just look at what is being showed. I forget the important information being said because my eyes tend to look at the visual and get lost. But when I'm reading the piece of information there is nothing that distracts me and whatever I read stays in my head and that way I understand the news. That is why when I first read The Record I fully understood the news told and after that when I watched CKCO I knew it better. But when I really thought of it I didn't think I could have understand the news from CKCO as I did if I didn't read The Record before. So therefore, whichever the form of news it is the individual is either a reader and understands it better when reading a newspaper such as The Record or a viewer and undstands it better by watching CKCO news. They both tell the story to its audience the way they want to understand it.

around the coner, bored out of my mind in the bus I decided to read some of the news that were presented in the newspaper. Once I got home I found myself talking to my parents about the issues going around in our neighbourhood and in other countries of our interest. I had gained so my knowlegde simply by reading some news briefly. As my dad thought one of his daughter can finally sit with me and watch some news at 6 and so on I was the daughter he was thinking of. So there I was watching news on television as surprising as that may seem it was very interesting. After the news was over there I was with enough information now in my head. However thats when I realized if I had watched the news on CKCO before a glance a
