Discussion:
1. Watch 30 minutes of local news i.e. NBC, CBS, ABC, or FOX. Keep track of what topics are talked about and how long they talk about them. Note if any government or political topics are talked about and for how long.
2. Next watch 30 minutes of national news i.e. NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, CCN, MSNBC, BBC, or other national news. Again keep track of what is talked about and for how long. Note if government or politics is talked about.
3. After watching the two broadcasts...write (Word-processed) a double-spaced page to page and a half paper comparing the news broadcasts, and which broadcast you liked better. State why you chose the broadcast you did.
