THE NEWS
Before this assignment I had never studied news coverage before, like I did now. Studying the news that is put out by different news media's is just incredible, because in each type of news service, they are different. The Headlines are usually close to one another but they are not always the exact same. Take the headline for Monday October 19, 1999, CNN Headline News uses "New North Carolina flooding feared", while the MSNBC News Headlines are "Clinton, GOP in budget showdown", and lastly Lycos News used "Computers that Read Your Shifting Moods." Although none of these headline stories are the same, we see what different media outlets believe their headline stories are! I choose three different media outlets they were CNN Headline News, MSNBC Headline News, and one of the search engines Lycos News. The reason why I picked these three different media's is because I thought that they were going to be the most diverse, and the most similar. Because I picked two big media outlets, MSNBC, and CNN Headline News, I thought that these two would probably be closer too each other than Lycos News. The reason why is because each of those two outlets have people everywhere, in the White House, in Bosnia, where ever there
"Hillary Clinton: Probably no announcement till 2000" this was the headline for CNN's fifth story, again they used a reporter from the White House to discuss what Hillary's chances are of running for senate. I have discussed what was chosen; the number it was put on air, and many other things about news media. I have taken three types of news media outlets and broke them down into different parts. " CNN Headline News decided to go back to North Carolina and talk to one of the reporters that was their, and try to get a better understanding of what was going on at that current time. The way MSNBC covered this was by having a reporter in the White House with a Republican as his speaker, and this interview got to be real boring, and not to long. Although they gave the flood in North Carolina a good amount of network time, it did not seem as good as CNN's report, because they did not have a reporter in North Carolina to really give us an understanding of the area. is a story they will send people to go. No other newscast had reported that, and I felt it quite interesting that Lycos out of them all would be the one to report it. At one point in the story they went to a reporter who was at some Army base, and interviewed a wife of a soldier in the Army. " I believe that I saw the same type of coverage on both CNN, and also on MSNBC. I thought that it was going to be the top story everywhere. The coverage that they had used on this story was not much; it was about a page at the longest.
