News IN Houston
The news has always been a popular to the people because as people we want to know what is going on in the world we live in. That is all the news was too, it was a tool used to keep the public informed. Now, the news is used for advertising, to exploit people, and even a forum to express opinion on certain issues. I watched three different news stations on the same night. I would flip through and compare them to each other. The are surprisingly very similar and very different at the same time. The first news station I watched was WB39 news at 9:00 p.m. This news show is probably the least watched news station on Houston. I know this because the show seems much unorganized and the people seem nervous. The two desk reporters who were giving the nightly news both spoke very timidly and never took their eyes off the queue cards. One of them was a white male and the other was a black woman. They started out with a story about an Amtrak derailment that killed 1 and injured 96. They showed pictures of crash site and they said that the caused of the crash was unknown. I thought it was weird that they did not know how the crash happened and yet the reported it. Next, they went to report on the Anna Nico
I saw a how station managers would use certain people to bring the news. At the end of the night, like most news stations, they will have a story that is light hearted and funny to make the people leave with a good feeling after they just heard all of the worlds death and destruction. The thing I found the most interesting was that they did a one-minute around the world type thing where the reported the top stories around the world in less than a minute. I guess that is the advantage about starting the news an hour earlier. The stories around the world are only short glimpse of what happened. Then they did the same thing for the top stories around the USA. Each of three sports they reported on had either a team from Texas or a player from Texas. The only thing that was different was how FOX26 had done more news and weather than anything else had. The are more worried about ratings that the actual news. If involves advertising, biased reporting, and stories that some of us just do not care about. When they would be done with the commercial and ready to come on the air, they would pop up advertisements of food products and investment firms. They did like a 15-minute story on her and the court case. One thing I also noticed about FOX26 was that they had advertising during their show. In baseball, they did commentary on the spring training of the Houston Astros, and in golf they had a houstonian who had played a round of 72 in the Buick invitational.
