Pentagon Identifies American Killed In Iraq On Thursday - 4 views

  •  
    In this news article broadcasted through KPBS, the company attempts to reach a variety of audiences. Since this does not only appeal to specific people but rather the American general public, this article is defined as broadcasting.
  •  
    They make a solid effort to make an un-bias, broad, and relevant story that still has thorough reporting. However I would go a little more in depth if I was them and have a little more understanding of what is going on.

Fantasy predictions for every Week 7 matchup - 1 views

  •  
    This is an article presenting information to individuals about fantasy football. This article falls under the category of narrowcasting because it applies only to people interested in sports, and even more specifically fantasy football.
  •  
    This is true because the people interested in fantasy football, while being a large number standing alone, is nothing compared to the ammount of people who go on to ESPN website.

"Narrowcasting" - Obama and Islam, right wing Fox News directed... - 0 views

  •  
    This video is a good example of right wing narrowcasting. It is obvious that this is directed to Fox News viewers. Not all Fox News viewer would agree with the statements made on this video. This is more focused to anti-Islam and anti-Obama supporters. The language used by the newscaster is very specific and persuasive. It is generalizing and directly connecting Islam with terrorism. Here is an example: "Islamic killers are the central problem on this planet." In my opinion these are radical ideas themselves. It shows some evidence and pictures relating Obama with Islam. These are there to tie Obama to the negativeness that the newscaster has already said about Islam. We can see that this is an example of narrowcasting because this will not appeal to most people. It will most likely appeal to a certain group of people which this video was made for.

    As we know, freedom of speech is an example of a Civil Right. Many countries do not allow bias media to be published, or if they do allow it, it is usually for their own benefit. This video and some ideas expressed could be offensive to some people and many would not like it (me.) But this is one of the beauties of this country. I could respond to this video with something bias on my side without a consequence from the other party that will endanger my security. Sometimes the picture could get dirty or might not be pretty, but at the end of the day it is something we should be grateful for, civil rights.

"Broadcasting" - 9/11 LIVE NEWS REPORT - 1 views

  •  
    This video is an example of "broadcasting." This has less of personal opinions and it is more factual. This means that it appeals to a wider audience (which is the definition for it.) This CNN video shows the second plane hitting the WTC in New York during 9/11. This is something that most people will listen. Why? Because it is factual rather than bias. I think that current events fall more in the broadcasting rather than the narrowcasting. The aftermath of these could fall into narrowcasting. An example of this is the previous video I posted on Obama and Islam. Please comment if you have any other thoughts on this.
