Sitting back and reflection on news production values are not a common action performed by viewers, but very vital to understanding what we watch and believe. The following questions I will be answering like:
Who are the sources?
Is there a lack of diversity?
From whose point of view is the news being reported?
Are there double standards?
Do stereotypes skew coverage?
What are the unchallenged assumptions?
Is the language loaded?
Is there a lack of context?
Are the stories on important issues featured prominently?
This is a news casting I will be analyzing
Here we will tackle the first question on. The sources to the news broadcast by CNN of alleged police reports of stalkers of celebrities such as Ryan Seacrest, Justin Timberlake, and Miley Cyrus. There is no lack of diversity because of the ethnicity differences between both the news anchors and subjects of discussion. The point of views that is being reported is CNN's, basically a reaction of the charges pending against the stalkers. The double standard lies in the doctrine of "innocent tell proven guilty." They're are stereotypes of the "crazy stalker" and the "unsuspecting" celebrity which ultimately skews the actual report. The language is somewhat loaded because of the insinuations in between facts. There is no lack of context. The issue is not an important.
