Peyton Manning: Analysis 


Topic 1: The social media plays a big part in the news of Manning.  Through the social media many people get to share their opinions and learn what others think about the situation.  In the social media such as Facebook they continuously have updates on what is going on and get people involved with poles and surveys to know what everyones take is on a certain situation.

Topic 2: Since nothing has been official in Manning's situation most of the media sources were opinions rather than facts.  Most media channels discussed what the think would happen with Peyton or what move the Colts would make.  So this made the channels that can get a hold of Peyton to interview him live, very valuable because that was the only time we can actually get the facts straight on what exactly is going on.

Topic 3: ESPN was one of my main sources.  It has a TV broadcast and an online source as well.  Since it has its own network on television it is always updating all braking news or updates on ongoing stories.  Therefore, the online services they provide are not as exciting as compared to other networks.  Although, online you can see videos that are shown on TV as many times as you want, and the news online will be more instantaneous.

Topic 4: This story was made a lot larger with the citizens getting involved themselves by expressing their opinions for major sources to be impacted my them. This was possible because mainly of the social media and all the online sources we have available to us today.  Some of the major sources such as the ESPN website was encouraging the civilians to get involved with the use of poles and surveys.  

Concordia-Analysis

Topic 1- Social media plays a great role in the news, especially like my story reported by MSNBC's Facebook page, as this disaster that has occurred recently, is causing so much controversy. While social media websites advertise for other social media outlets, this helps people discuss their views and opinions of issues being brought up. The audience has been reacting great as it is becoming easier to communicate.

Topic 2- Each of the sources that I used have been known to be very credible. The coverage and news updates don't change, and really compliment each other.While the newscast posts all the events summarized into a few minutes, the constant updates the website brings, helps bring up to minute updates for people that are already following the event.

Topic 3- When news agencies have an online source to go along with their channel, they each being up news updates that make stories ongoing. The Internet helps bring up to minute news updates, when the television programming isn't available.The same goes for the news channels websites, which the poster won't update the news the same event over a constant time period, while it is continued to be followed on air.

Topic 4- It really makes the viewer feel like they a making a difference in the community. By reporting what they witness, people may send in footage not possible with a professional tv crew. I think when people submit these videos, they know how their media would be used, and it really is a great example of freedom of speech. Like for the Concordia Ship incident, many I the passengers recorded footage from the chaos, giving us, as the viewers at home to see a first hand account of what had actually happened.
