A Media Review Of Cnn.com

November 21st, 2010 — Bbc News  Tagged ,

CNN.com is the official internet website for the CNN news organization Appropriate from the residence page you can tell that the website supplies a wealth of varying details Some of the categories offered to a visitor of the internet site consists of the regular World and U.S news, as well as sports, company, weather, travel and education 

They also have a section of video clips on varying topics such as the ones I’ve previously mentioned as well as “Sci-tech” (having to do with science) and “Offbeat” (having to do with strange and wacky news, for example these days’s featured a grilled cheese eating contest, and a Python which may perhaps have swallowed a cat!).

Having previously analyzed FOXNEWS.com, it is apparent to me that in comparison CNN.com has a incredible deal much more to supply in terms of quantity of stories An additional key element that gives this internet site an edge is its well thought out integration of video footage into the articles  Sadly some video did not work well, or even at all I am unsure weather it is since of my media players, the reality that I use mac and not pc, or if it is a difficulty with their video files or server 

The 1st article I read, “New Orleans Officer’s Plead not guilty” was well written The article seemed a small negative toward the officers involved in the alleged beating of an elderly man, said to be intoxicated and violent, and assault of an Associated Press Television News Producer Having said that, this was not simply because of the writer’s words, but rather the quotes utilized, backed by video clips of the beating, and finally a separate, linked article about police taking 200 new and utilized cars from a dealership prior to Hurricane Katrina 

What makes the quotes so successful is that the author uses quotes from both an AP representative and Police representative, that way both sides are given an opportunity to speak The use of the beating footage gives the viewer an opportunity to determine for them self weather or not the accused officer really we’re wrong or if they had been justified The video is really a powerful tool, and ads a lot to the story  

Finally, the linked article gives a solid example of events which overshadows the police department in New Orleans  This story is unbiased and presents both the Cadillac dealer’s side of the story, and evidence that the cars had been utilized as an emergency measure There had been some officers who did use Cadillacs, Riley said Those cars had been not stolen 

The second story that I read was Biometrics still out of reach of U.S ATMs which was a straight forward Technology news story This story is 1 of those fascinating pieces of news that we do not usually hear about; futuristic science fiction that is obtainable right now The reporter made no assumptions or influential comments as to weather biometrics is a excellent notion or a poor notion, secure or unsafe There had been easy, straight forward facts 

The story was captivating, just the thought that such a high technology is in place in Columbia and the South American countries rather than the U.S is food for thought With arguments for and against biometrics, it feels like you have all the information and facts to form an educated discussion.

Finally I read an entertainment story Reality shows hit challenging times, a incredibly timely entertainment story The story presents real statistics to back up its title Quite a few of realities shows are down in ratings, and the tough numbers are their to back it up Of course the story give an opportunity for the broadcasters to rebut and explain why reality t.v is not precisely dead, leaving the reader with two sides of the story This is yet an additional timely, well written article 

In conclusion CNN.com is a pretty informative news organization that appeals to a wide audience Their purpose is to inform the reader with unbiased facts, and to offer a wide assortment of info other than the top stories of the day They use the integration of new technology and conventional technology fairly well to support their articles and give the viewer additional information and facts to form their personal conclusion .
