Topic: Andrew Meyer of UoF gets shocked by Police at a Q&A panel for John Kerry when he begins to get a bit agitated and resist Police officers trying to escort him offstage. The whole scene gets captured on video and makes headline news.
Web:
The web’s version of the story is 848 words long and approximately 4 pages. It contains 10 sources. It was more inline with print coverage as it was a bit more lengthy and informative than most broadcast coverage. In terms of coverage, I would say the web gives the most out of the other media forms. There are multiple websites that was able to provide more information from many (reliable and unreliable) sources giving the story many perspectives ranging from the authority’s side to the outspoken public.
Television:
The story hit headline news with CNN and they were able to get their hands on the video making the coverage even more dramatic and sensational. I quoted 7 sources from the coverage taping at about 2 minutes long. The details were harder to grasp as it came at me a lot faster than the web did.
Newspaper:
The Miami Herald had an article on the issue that contained 510 words and about 1.5 pages. There are only 4 quoted sources in the story, all similar to those from the previous sources. The article was accompanied by a photo of Andrew Meyer trying to escape the clenching fists of the police officers as his mic gets cuts off and he tries to run.
