Media Comparison

The story is from the German news website tagesschau. It is about the possible new German government and the plan to end the national state of emergency. The state of emergency is ending in November and the possible new government coalition doesn’t want to extend it. However, this doesn’t mean that there won’t be any Covid related mandates.

The article and the video both have different words and don’t really focus on the same things. In addition to that, the video is obviously part of a full news broadcast and is therefore way shorter than the article.

There was one thing that stood out right at the beginning of the video. The video mentions that the government won’t be able to influence certain fundamental rights. It did that right in the beginning, while the article only mentions this towards the end.

Furthermore, the video obviously uses a lot of videos that create a better news-viewing experience for the people watching. Based on that, the video implements videos of politicians talking about the planned changes. An interesting difference in the article is the fact that it uses quotes/ paraphrases from different politicians, compared to the video.  

Lastly, the video also includes an interview with a political expert, which doesn’t appear in the written article.

One thought on “Media Comparison

  1. I liked the video. I didn’t quite get the musical part in the first minute.
    There’s a Virginia story in there late. The news set is cool, but the
    newscaster is a bit unemotional.
