Media Comparison
In the New York Times article Obama Tells Trump: Stop ‘Whining’ and Trying to Discredit the Election, it shows the video of Barrack Obama’s speech to the American people about how childish it is for Donald Trump to try and discredit America’s election. He explains how ridiculous Trump’s accusations are and even goes as far as to tell him to stop whining.
In this situation the article has more information than the video coverage of the event because the article can elaborate on the situation that Obama is discussing. The article discusses in more detail about what all Trump has said about the American elections and gives more background to the story.
The video of Obama’s speech does give good insight as well. Coming from the president himself, the words sound more urgent and frustrated than in the article, especially because Obama is an amazing speaker. This makes the information more relatable.
Overall both ways of delivering news are effective in their own ways. As demonstrated in class and in many New York Times articles it is very effective when they are combined.
