Media Comparison..

In the written article from APNews.com the lead is calmer than the ABC news coverage leads. Both leads begin similarly but progress differently. The written lead gets straight to the point while the video lead leads with where this happened. 

Both of the articles are organized well with small but informational paragraphs that explain how the lady used bees to attack deputies trying to evict her. Both articles explain the scene in the beginning and later talk about stuff that isn’t as important. 

The stories do have similar content throughout their articles. Specifically their quotes are almost exactly the same which is expected since they’re telling the same story. Although I would say that APnews had more quotes, I’m not sure how important or needed they were. 

The APnews definitely used attribution after before and after their quotes were used. ABC11 also uses attribution in the same way as APnews by using it before and after their quotes even when there are not direct quotes. 

APnews only provided one picture which was the header of the article that showed the lady being arrested by two officers. ABC11 uses the same picture but also uses a couple others throughout their video with a news anchor using a concerned tone in her voice. 

I found it interesting that the lady was charged with a deadly weapon and assault by using bees to attack the officers to prevent her from being arrested.
