Answer 1

Answer

Two of the cable news networks that i watched covered the current pandemic related news clips. The two networks showed how the entire world was affected by Covid 19. They talked about the current figures as to how many people were infected with this virus and the current number of deaths.

The major difference between the two was that one of them focussed more on reporting the real life incidents and interviews of the ones already affected by the desease. Their main target was to instill a sense of responsibility and fear in the minds of other citizens as to how dangerous this desease is. The other channel majorly focussed on the possibility of vaccines coming in the near future. It did not show the patients on the screen. However, it showed interviews and speeches of the ministers and the doctors.

Thus, i would say both channels had their own way of reporting where the first showed real life instances from the patient's mouths itself while the other channel showed the reality from the doctor's and ministers' perspective.
