THE MEDIA INFLUENCE

HEADLINES;''2 dead in Virginia Tech shooting
Two people one of them a police officer were shot dead today at Virginia tech university,the scene of the worst mass shooting in US history in 2007'' the sun .The headlines appeared to be  very informal and critical. The use of "2" in the headline appears to be very informal and also the headline is critical when the writer says : "scene Of the worst mass shooting in US history in 2007".this is in sharp contrast to how the headline was written by raf sanches in the telegraph, the headlines read"Two people killed in Virginia shooting tech. live coverage as police  hunt a shooter who opened fire at Virginia Tech, the site of America's worst campus massacre "the writer wrote "two"instead of 2 and these has make the headline to look more formal.also he made an appropriate euphemism when flashing back to the memories of 2007 massacre by saying "the site of Americas worst massacre"saying worst in history appears to be harsh.

The Telegraph is more informative  than The Sun,details and live coverage of the incident was outlined and explained bit by bit in the telegraph ,and also they gave a lot of information about the 2007 gun man.in the telegraph it was mentioned that the 2007 gun man Seung-Hui Cho by name killed 32 students and staff and his pictures were posted their. on the other hand, in The Sun it was very brief the news is half the length of the one  that is in The Telegraph.the news writer did not give much information about the gun shot and also the flash back of the 2007 massacre was very short and unclear.Equally important the single picture that was posted in the sun is not relevant to the news unlike the different  pictures in the Telegraph.



Considering the length of the news in the sun newspaper direct quotes are many,the direct quotes used in the sun are almost as much as the one used in the telegraph.another point is in the last paragraph in the sun the writer appears to be biased and critical when he says "The university were criticised for their slow response to the incident and were today ensuring students were constantly updated on the gun alert"what the writer says may be true but he appears to be biased,in the telegraph the writer explained what happened in 2007 but he appears to be neutral and left it to the readers to share the views.

FEEDBACK

Due to the time factor was very brief during my presentation, as a result i didn’t go deep into explanation, but still am able to know some of my weaknesses, am finding it difficult to face the class and express myself, is like am anxious, and I run out of word due to the anxiety. After the lecture i was able to know other areas that i need to improve and my strength as well will improve my eye contact and my body language, during my presentation the eye contact and the body language was not good. Equally important i did not personalise the topic. The presentation was not subjective made some explanations which are not on the slide and i was applauded for that
