comparison of two different news from two different news programs

News on Q and News Central from Qtv 11 and Studio 23 respectively use the english language as medium in reporting the latest events. Also, these two news programs air late-at-night, having the elite group as their target audience. however, despite these similarities News on Q and News Central still have differences asid from the fact that they are from different TV networks. First is the set. News on Q's set is lighter than that of News Central. The former uses morelights and cool colors which relax the eyes. And the latter is darker since the set has TV monitors which obviously darkens the set, making it look narrow. On June 2, these two programs both reported news about Cory Aquino's health and Michael Jackson's inheritance. On reporting Aquino's health, News on Q had Mariz Umali as the field reporter. She stated Aquino's condition while showing different latest videos concerning the former president's health. The way she presented this news is weak for me because she talked too long and presented three interviews in succession. The information however is clear enough to understand. Other news about Aquino's health were presented by the anchors. News Central Presented Aquino's health similar with the other news program. The reporter however was live on camera. The weak part was that the reporter (who was not introduced and did not even introduced himself) was reading his notes without looking at the camera. this made less communication with the audience. The videos presented were different, News Central had videos on the Mass for Cory and the interviews were not shown in succession. MOreover, other news on the former president's health were reported separately. News about Michael Jackson's inheritance by Mariz Umali of News on Q was very boring. Umali was too monotonous. She also stated information which were not necessary for her topic, these were the planned tribute concert for the late pop star and the incomeof the downloaded songs of Jackson after his death. Umali also showed video of Michael jackson's "You are not Alone" which should not be included in the report. This was presented for more or less 10 seconds without her talking. I think, this news should onlyinclude the last will of Jackson and the updates of the custody of his kids since this were heavier than the other stated information. The planned concert and the income downloaded songs should had been put onto another report since it were much lighter. The bottomline is, the news should be weighed properly to avoid unnecessary information. Joey Reyes of News Central reported Jackson's inheritance very similar to Umali's report. He stated every information the latter reported. However, Reyes did not put any unnecessary videos making his news stronger than the other.
