News

The news is meant to be a local, as well as abroad at times, information update to let the people know things such as recent kidnapping areas, latest accident reports, upcoming weather, sports, politics, other country current relations, war, and more. By viewing these forms of entertainment on television through the news, news programming suggests that sports, politics, weather, local crimes, and celebrity updates are what people are valuing most in popular culture. The factors of what influences these news show broadcasts to air these multiple categories are based on things popular culture deems important. The news would not broadcast a policeman giving a person a speeding ticket because it is worthless to the rest of society. Whatever sparks an interest in society sparks an interest to the news. So it is shown, what society has sparked an interest for is politics, celebrity lifestyles, and important updates such as accident reports. The way the news provides their information is through one of two ways, studio or live.

 There are two different types of coverage that news casts may perform. One is preformed within the studio; the other is live out in the streets. The value of including covering living events, for example a car chase, is to inform the society there is a danger and what and where exactly it is happening. If a person is watching a live broadcast at home and they know someone who is driving around that area or they themselves were planning to drive around that area, then they would be warned. The news stories that I feel should be covered live are entertainment and breaking news. This list includes sports, because that has become an important past time for many people in the American society, along with anything concerning politics, car chases, and others that might affect a person’s life or safety.
