News video from CBS News: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kids-covid-vaccine-cdc-recommend/.
Article from USAToday: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2021/11/02/covid-vaccine-kids-children-approved/6233927001/.
These two stories from CBS News and USAToday are remarkably similar in content even though they are from two separate news sources. Both are similar leads, with the CDC recommending the Pfizer vaccine for children ages 5-11. It makes sense, though, because they are covering the same story.
Just as an article would include quotes from an expert, the news story from CBS also includes an interview clip with multiple doctors. The written story from USAToday includes multiple quotes from doctors and even a quote from President Joe Biden.
I feel like videos are more personable than written news stories but that only makes sense. I really enjoy reading, but it is also pretty nice just to be able to sit back and consume the news without too much effort. I thought both the CBS News and USAToday stories were well executed overall.
The anchor does most of the CBS lead. The reporter jumps in with reaction, focusing more on parents. Didn’t see parents in the USAT story.
