The News Show I watched was The colbert Report, Out of all the news shows I could watch I choose this one because even though it is a comedy show its the least biased. The episode last night started with Colbert talking about his announcement to run for president. The audience he targets with this segment would be all of his viewers which is a general audience from the ages of 16 to almost 40. The show is primarily funded from comedy central because majority of the ads are to get you to watch another comedy central show. In the segment Colbert focus's on the way people go about joining as a primary candidate for a certain state in his case South Carolina. He covers the costs and ammounts of paperwork to get enrolled in the running.
The channel I selected was CNN, and the program I chose was Larry King Live. The segment that I elected was Jenny McCarthy takes on autism. It was a very interesting segment in which Larry King along with Jenny McCarthy presented a story on autism and its impact in today’s society. The main message of the segment was to inform people that there is help out there and to make people aware of what is going on with vaccination and the theory behind them. Their target audience was everybody in America who tunes into Larry King Live and specially parents facing issues with autism. The ad that was used to pay for the story was about a collection on Larry King Live DVDs for sale. What was left out of the story is that there was no clear evidence on the causes of autism and the involvement of the pediatric doctors.

The news story i watched was Front Line produved by PBS. The segment i saw was about the surveillance the FBI has on many privite companys. The main message in this story is that a lot of things that some people think that they are not seen really are. They used examples of Vegas. The taxi cabs in Vegas all has video and audio recorded as you enter the cab. Many people use the tearm "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" which is not really true because of no REAL privacy. The targeted audiance is really for everyone because it shows survellance being done at any point in time. This show is aired on PBS so there would be many ads of differnt types that pays for a show like this. I think the part thats left out of the story is the things they really do with the Videos they got. Even some of the places that the look at is still not revealed
The News Show i watched was Dateline on NBC, the show was aired on December 15, 2006 and it was about grown men trying to have sex with very young girls. It is a episode that set up situations for the cops to arrest older men who come to meet with young girls. The message behined this story is that sex predators are still out there and need to be taken of the streets, and the main audience targeted is everyone with children and sex predator themselves. The show is mainly funded by NBC because it seem to be a special for the station to make people awear of the situation. there was not much left out of the story except for the end result for the predators captured.
I'm one of many New Yorkers that have cablevision that watch New York 1 news before leaving the house each morning. This morning I just happened to catch a story that was on about the MTA increasing the service on the seven and the "L" train lines. This comes from the report cards that the MTA asked
NY straphangers to fill out about those train lines; and the general consensus about the lines is that there are too many passengers during rush hour. The main message of the story is that MTA asked for passenger's opinions and they're now responding to the masses and giving them a solution to the problem. The target audience are the New York residents that travel via subway. New York 1 is funded by it's owner Time Warner Cable. The story lacks information when the other transit lines are going to have service increased during rush hour and weekend times.
The news story I picked to analyze is CBS, 60 minutes it was an interview of Valerie Plame Wilson, the undercover CIA agent who identity was reveled to the media by the Bush administration. The main point of her interview was the impact of her identity been revealed and the cause of such action. She was asked by interviewer Katie Couric if any one was hurt because of her identity being revealed, but she refused to give a definite answer. The target audience of this news segment is the voting class 18 years and above, or some one who pays close attention to current events and political issues. The news segment was created by 60minutes; adverisements were paid by different companies who choose to sponsor the show. One thing that was left out of the interview was classified information about her identity being reveled. The broadcast time was Sunday, Oct. 21.The title of the show Plame Wilson: President Didn't Keep Word.
EyeWitness News, Eyewitness News. That is the name of the News show that I am going to talk about.It is broadcasted on ABC, The reporters did a piece on Driving While young.The creators was the parents and the children because that is who was mentiond in the piece. The reason was to demontrate how kids pattern off of there parents when it comes to driving. What they see there parents do they will automatically think that it is o.k to do. For instance multitaskig at the wheel, speeding while on the phone. The main message of the story was to teach the parents that they should not start out with bad habbits when teaching there kids how to drive.The audience are kids that range form 16-and up who are ready to drive and parents. There were car ads so I guess major car companys is paying for the story. The rate of accidents that happens to adults and kids who may be multitasking at the wheel while in motion is what i think was left out of the story.

The news story i watched was Abc New with John Stossel and the segement i choose was that of a teen who was strip searched at a McDonalds where she worked at in Mt. Washington KY. They story started off with John interviewing the girl and it satrted off that Mcdonalds had reported theft and a employye did it , the annoymus caller described the girl and the manager donna calls in Louise and ask her to empty her pockets and have her remove her clothes follwing the orders of the man on the other line.Louise was humilated and Donna never thought to call the police station because she thought it was the police. The audience is teens and adults. The show is funded by ABC. The majority f the ads are to watch other ABC shows
The nshow i decided to watch and do my blog on was NFL Total Acces on the NFL Network. This is a show that reports of all of the news around the NFL. It's like a regular news show, it's broadcast at 8:00 p.m every night and it targets a male audience between the ages of 18-100. Even though there females fans and fans of all ages that's the taget audience i assume due to commercials such as levitra, home depot, fishing, beer, etc. The report i happened to catch was on Michael Vick. Mr. Vick, who happens to be the quaterback of the Atlanta Falcons is being charged with severe charges of animal cruelty and running a major dog fighting circuit. The NFL Network has all of the exclusives about this case and every other issue regarding the league and its players. I was trying to find out if a verdict has come out yet but it hasnt, but the NFL network exclusively reported that Mr. Vick is supposed to pay back all of the $18 million in bonus he received on his new contract for violating agreements. Well, the report i was looking for wasn't announce due to delay on Mr. Vick's case but i learned about Mr. Vick having to give back his bonus money, which I'm happy beacause such a scum deserves that and more, but that's just my personal opinion.
The news segment that I watched was on CNN, Anderson Copper 360, which reports from New York. On Oct. 22, 2007. It was about the wild fires in Southern California. The target audience was people between the ages of 16-60. The story is about how thousands of people have been rushed out of their home because of the wildfires that are spreading through out Southern California. The reporters Anderson Cooper, Ted (I didn't get his last name), Harry Himmel, Dan Simon. The rest of the story is about how fire fights are working around the clock to put out all the fires that a rushing throuh Malibu and San Deigo County.
The story I watched was on Guitar Hero 3. It was done by Eyewitness news as what seemed to be a sales pitch/ preview for Red Octane's latest game in the series. The main goal was to tell viewers why they should play this game, and why it is not just another video game. This story targets anyone who likes music and can press buttons, basically including anyone age 5 and over. Activision and Red Octane, pay for story because they own the game, but it was also sponsored by Chevy Offers. The story was done rather well and covered pretty much everything about the game except for the differences on the Wii system. On Wii the "Wiimote" snaps into the guitar controller and adds vibrating, wireless, and extra sound capabilities.
NewsChannel 4 signed on the air as WNBT on July 1, 1941
In 1993 it launched its “we’re 4 new york”. WNBC-TV was the first station to launch the half-hour late-night news format on its "11th Hour News"; first to launch the one-hour early evening local news broadcast "Sixth Hour News", first to broadcast local news in color and first to present a two-hour news program in New York titled "News Center 4." WNBC-TV was also the first local station to introduce local audiences to a live news interview program “Live at Five," which remains on the station's program schedule today. The main message is to alert people on what’s happening in everyday life and what’s new in all fields (fashion, entertainment, sports, politics, news around all different countries….etc). The main target is both female and male of ages 9 and up (targets more adults than kids). In my opinion, I think ads, news articles, talk shows; etc pays for the news channel. It makes the channel more popular and different than any other. Basically I think the production work covers all the important details it needs to cover. Everyday they come up with different topics and exciting stories to base their show about, morning and evening shows.
The show that I remember watching was The Late Show. I believe this show is aimed towards people from the ages of 21 to 45. In the show Joe Torre was interviewed about leaving the Yankees. The specific audience that was targeted during this interview was Yankees fans and Joe Torre fans. The commercials that I remember playing were movie trailers and Geico commercials. What was left out of the story was where Joe Torre was going to manage next, they hinted that he was going to manage the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The news show i always watchis the CW11. I have been watching that channel since i was a little kid, whne cartoons used to come on in the morning time. Now i only watch it to see whats new in the troublesoe world we live in. My main reson out of all is to see if tere is any bad weather and what schools will be closed because of the weather. I feel weather and traffic segment is the most informative because it tellls you exactly how yur day is going to start off if you get cauht up in a troute where there is an accident or if it bad weather, it lets you know where the fallen tree or flooded streets might be.

The news show i watched was Outside the Lines First Report which airs on ESPN. The segment i found interesting was a report about a college football referee who was legally blind in one eye and officiated for several years with this disablity but was ubruptly fired after he was found out. The audience this targets would be from about 16 to 45 or anyone who follows college football. The main message of this segment was to show how the college conferences such as the big ten and SEC do alot of bias things in their conferences for money. this story is paid for by ESPN because alot of their programs were advertised and there merchendise was advertised as well. In my opinion nothing was left out because they sort of got all the sides off the story even though a few people declined to comment.
