News Analysis 1

a) List the stories that were covered, and in what order they were presented; 

Spanish News. 

1. Hurricane Sandy, everything closed
2. Catalonia wants independence
3. Politics in Basque 
4. Inflation in Spain
5. Pharmacies selling their drugs in the black market in spain
6. Soccer- Barcelona missing players
7. Spanish people suffering in Hurricane Sandy

b) Comment on the scope: which news story received the most attention? Which on the least? 

the First story received most attention, they are telling us about Hurricane Sandy and the streets in New York are empty which is supposed to be "the city that never sleeps" 

c) Choose one story, and pay attention to the structure. What does it include? A lead-in? Live interview? Expert analysis or commentary? Visuals or graphics? 

Hurricane Sandy story- It has a lead in explaining everything that is going on, the floods the fires, the people without electricity. And then there are Visual Graphics which are really shocking to see. And then theres a commentator and an interview with a person who lives in New York. They have small videos from peoples phones

d) Related to the previous questions, how does the particular news story look and feel? Besides what is shown, what is left out?

Independence story,

It feels like they are really just giving one side of the story, how catalonia shouldn't be independized but that's because this is a channel from Madrid and not from Barcelona. They only show one perspective of the story.

e)Evaluate one story in the newscast. , and pay attention to the statement and slant. Neutral? Positive? Negative? Evaluate the story according to its objectivity. 

It depends what they are talking about, if its a situation from outside the world (Sandy) then is Neutral other wise its usually negative they don't usually show anything positive unless it has to do with sports (Barcelona)

f) Lastly, pay attention to the sponsors. ,What does this say about the particular viewing audience demographic?

it's mostly for adults because it's either about politics which young people aren't usually interested in, or has some brutal images which are not for the young people to see.

Who is communicating?

Ferrari company showing the beauty of the car

Why about who?

To people who have money, only those who dare can live. They are showing how people who have money can live because they can afford this car.

Why is it that way?

Because its saying that people that can't afford a ferrari cannot live happily (which is the biggest lie ever)

Argumentative Paragraph

“The Greatest Movie Ever Sold”

Alexis Garcia

Both Peter Travers and Michael Philips believe that “POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie ever Sold” is a humorous film which made people laugh. What Michael Philips loves about the film is how “Morgan Spurlock cracks up frequently in front of the camera” (Michael Philips). While Peter Travers enjoys the way Spurlock interviews movie directors, with his favorite Brett Ratner the director of Rush Hour. Travers thinks the movie makes people laugh so much that “Even when you are going to be seeing all of this advertisements in the documentary, the laughing is going to make you choke.”(Peter Traver) However both Travers and Philips agree that “it’s a documentary that tells you even while you are laughing that we are all going to hell in a sponsored handbasket” (Travers, Philips). However “The Greatest movie ever sold” “is all about an anecdote in which Spurlock tries to finance the 1.5 million dollars movie he’s making by pursuing various “brand integration” possibilities.” (Michael Philips)
