I love the font for the heading. It looks like it has loads of
information and you can attain lots of knowledge from it. But, there
is very little space. Also, it looks quite dull and boring. It would have
been better with a picture or two.

Write reflection on the article, Broadcast News vs Print

News: Emphasizing the Differences.

In journalism, there are many ways to distribute news to consumers.

Due to the laziness of this world, people usually use social media
sites to get news. This article talks about whether this is correct or
not.

Most people rely on broadcast news because most dont have the
time for print news. Thus, broadcast news has the upper hand.
However, both print news and broadcast news share some
similarities and differences.

Similarities:

Both have an organized structure.

Both used leads
Both follow a specific pattern.
Both provide consumers with news everyday.
Differences:

Broadcast news can be skimmed and is in a comparatively

easier format but print news is information structured to be
reread.
Broadcast news tends to exaggerate while print news is
perfectly real.
In print news, the average word limit per sentence is 20-
25 words while the average is 10-15 in broadcast news.

The author thus believes that broadcast news is better.
