Real/Fake News

In the fake news story the atmosphere was very informal. The reporter was goofy, had a real personality, the story was just more entertaining to watch. When the reporter talked he his tone of voice changed, he did not talk at a slow calm indoor normal voice. He also incorporated his own personal thoughts and beliefs into the news story. He was all so really witty and made funny jokes, about things relating to the story and about random thing. The set was really different. The lighting changed they incorporated little skit type things in to the broadcast. There were even random prompts used. Even though this story was fake it was probably more interesting and easier to watch then a normal news reporting.

As for the real news story the atmosphere was very uptight. The reporter was serious, tone of voice never really changed too much. The information being told was delivered in a serious way not relaxed. The reporter’s thoughts or beliefs were not in this news report. The reporter also had no real personality, straight faced, no emotion, and never joked around. The news report was meant to be aired as un-bias as possible. This news reporting was slightly boring and hard to stay interested in and pay attention. As much as I like to be informed about what is going on the the huge world around me, I think I might have to watch a few more of these fake news stories. They are really funny to watch.
