While at uni I did study a couple of media units. They were rather interesting. They discussed different types of audiences, how to write for the various types of audiences, how to write succinctly and construct your sentences and paragraphs to make your article more readable. I may not have mastered those particular skills but one key concept and oath-like practice in news media was that of presenting facts.
We have all heard that a picture speaks a thousand words and the Bolivian television news station did just that.
The news article I came across today went like this:
A Bolivian television station has aired photographs from the television drama Lost, presenting them as images of an Air France airliner that went down in the Atlantic.
I guess that if you don’t have the real stuff… make it up!
I TOO HEARD THAT . HOW COULD THEY DO IT . IT COULD NEVER LOOK REAL BECOZ THE WHOLE AIRLINER WAS LOST IN THE SEA.
I TOO HEARD THAT . HOW COULD THEY DO IT . IT COULD NEVER LOOK REAL BECOZ THE WHOLE AIRLINER WAS LOST IN THE SEA. BTW WHY NO POSTS FOR A LONG TIME.
that’s really shit of them to do that :/
LOL. I can’t believe they did that. I wonder if it fooled anyone? I have to tell my wife about that one.
Wow! A show with such a huge following might get recognized when utilized as photos for a news story. How ridiculous. They could have used something less popular, like Gilligans Island or something. Haha.
hahah Justin true true something that isnt quite so popular in the rest of the world.
Next time there is a news story about alien abductions or sightings just use some footage from like close encounters or Alien haha
chloe i think its rather disrespectful for the families of the deceased.
