The news sector of the media is a leading front in it's field, everybody needs it whether it be via TV, the Internet, mobile phones etc. But some news organizations can bend the news to a certain side creating bias towards a side of a story.
The news story we have decided to use is the death of Princess Diana. The two videos below are the reports from the British news broadcasted on ITN and American news broadcasted on NBC.
The difference between the two stories is very slight because both English and American news channels had the same opinion on this story so they are presenting it is very similar. One of the differences is that because the American news channel is getting its information from the BBC in England it is always behind. The ways that both news channels are presenting it is very similar as they both show this news as devastating breaking news.
Neither of the news channels are bias when presenting this story because they have both have been affected in the same way and they both see this as a loss. In this kind of news story it is very rare to see either side be biased because Princess Diana was very important to both England and America. The videos below show that both ITN and NBC are taking the news in a very similar way and there are many similarities between the two. In the two videos you can see that the news-reporters are clearly affected emotionally when news breaks of her death.
