News summary
With a wide range of news shows to choose from I decided to go with a TV news show being the easiest to analyze, more specifically the evening news broadcast on TV4.
The structure of the broadcast looked like this:
- Main story – Murder 4 minute
- Internal news – Fraud 3 minutes
- International news – Conflicts in Palestinian camps in Israel 3 minutes
- International news – Political news from the USA concerning Obama 3 minutes
- Internal news – Candy over-consumptions 3 minutes
- Internal news – Healthcare sloppiness 3 minutes
- Internal news – Skin parasites spreading through human proximity 2 minutes
- Sport news - 3 minutes
- Entertainment – Promoting a talkshow airing later the same night 1 minute
- Entertainment – Upcoming art exhibition 2 minutes
- Commercial break
- Weather report 1 minute
So basically the main portion of the news broadcast is spend of less cheerful subjects, murder, cultural conflicts, deceases just to name a few. However they eventually conclude the broadcast with something more positive and informs us if it would be a good idea to bring a shovel on the wait to work/school or leave the winter coat at home.
