Write one paragraph answering these questions.

Find out how the same subject is covered on television evening news and the Internet. Check also to see if the subject is covered in TV news magazines such as Nightline or 20/20. Contrast how they use elements of sound, images, live narration, and interviews to report the news or topic. Which provides more in-depth coverage? The most current news? Can you detect semantics or other indirect biased approaches (generalizations, opinions, logical fallacies)?

Write a second paragraph answering these questions. Your two paragraphs should total at least 200 words.
