Question

A breaking news story is reported on a local television station as it is happening. The next day, the same event is reported in a newspaper article. What important difference would there be between the article and the broadcast?
A)The newspaper would be able to include more related details and reactions to the event.
B)The newspaper article would be less likely to be accurate because it would not have all the details of the story.
C)The newspaper article would be less objective in its tone.
D)The broadcast would be more entertaining because it would be prewritten.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A: The newspaper would be able to include more related details and reactions to the event. This is because the writer of the article would have more time and opportunity to gather information from multiple sources, whereas in a news broadcast, one would only be able to report what is happening at that moment.
