I watched news channel 25 which is a local based news station dealing with a varying spectrum of news coverage. They broadcast local, national and international news. I was watching the 11:00 news, basically an overview of the day’s events. It was slightly perplexing to watch because they told you about a number of stories crammed into a small time space.
I did not see any opinions being expressed during the broadcast. The announcers spoke in a fairly monotone voice. They did not get emotionally involved in any of the stories nor did they openly express their opinion. While this is good for getting an unprejudiced view of the news, a little inflection at least makes it interesting.
I would say that no, they did not do a good job of informing me on the news stories. They gave barely more than a sentence worth of information on each story. In fact, the only segment they dwelled on at all was the weather. I definitely can think of a few things they could be doing better. I would start by getting you more information on each story. You don’t even have to take longer. Just get more info across without using up your entire time saying, “Coming up next is such and such.”All in all, the experience was so so at best.
