News Story: “Suspect arrested for allegedly abducting two daughters from home where two boys found dead” by Wilson Wong and The Associated Press
The article and the video are both about a Kansas man killing two boys and abducting his two daughters last Saturday. After a search in three different states the police were able to take the man into custody. His two daughters are safe.
I think the article does a better job of describing what happened in just a few sentences. The main information can all be found in the first paragraph. It seems like they used the inverted pyramid for structure.
The video story starts out rather slow and dramatically with the police radio talk. After that, the facts are mentioned but the content is very different from the written story. The police officer e.g. talks about how the homicide was discovered which isn’t mentioned in the written part.
Additionally, the video focuses more on the homicide that happened at the house while the written story concentrates mostly on the two girls who were abducted. I think the story overall is newsworthy because of its recency and human interest.
The differences are likely a result of what the local Kansas NBC affiliate had for video. The print story was by the AP, which could have Kansas and Oklahoma info.
