Politician Scenario


A local government official was charged of graft and corruption and was suspended from his office. The government official announced that the charges were all fabricated and that he will not step down from his office. A large group of supporters are present to protest. They barricaded the building where the official has once taken office. A struggle seems to start breaking out between the protesters and the police.

QUESTIONS
YOUR ANSWERS
Predict how this event will be covered by television, radio, print and Internet?
This event could be covered in one of many ways. It would be most likely covered by different media platforms by taking the statement of both sides. The outlets would most likely give facts and statements to the public regarding the event and let the public decide which is which. The platforms would most likely show the opposing views of each party in the argument.
How are the presentations of facts may vary from medium to medium?
The presentation of facts may vary from medium to medium in a way that some facts are present in another medium while some facts are not. Television and internet would most likely have all the facts since they could support video format which will show the actual event. Radio stations could also play recordings unlike the print medium that would likely show facts based on data and transcript of an interview only.
How the codes and conventions are varying from medium to medium?
It varies in a way that these could be presented in another perspective in another medium. Each medium has their way of showing the event through different views yet the same event itself.
How much of these differences will be based on the unique characteristics of the medium?
Almost all of it since each medium has their own advantage and disadvantage. Print and radio could reach a wider audience since it is widely accepted yet it could only showcase data but not all of it like live coverage or video interviews. The same goes for the others.
