The show that I watched was the Today Show. I would classify this show as morning news because it airs every morning and has different segments where the reporters interview professionals on a certain topic or give you tips and advice on anything to improve your lifestyle in general. It usually starts out with a short introduction and then they start off with general national news. From there, they begin to branch out into more specific topics such as help with your finances, health, fashion, cooking, etc.
I didn’t really see much opinion in this show except for the fashion segment and the cooking segment in particular. The cooking segment today was themed around Mexican style cooking with a twist. The woman preparing the food kept saying that the family will love it and that it is a great comfort food. Some people don’t really like Mexican food so the statements she was making were more of an opinion than true fact. In the fashion segment, they were saying how fake fur vests are a big trend on the streets of New York and that a certain pair of pants from some fashion company was cute and comfortable. There are multiple different styles in fashion, so not all people may have liked the clothing that they displayed today. Even though the newest trends are news, it is still opinion based.
The Today show today was very informative and I always enjoy hearing what they have to say about what is going on in the world. This show was effective in informing me about all of the topics discussed. Every segment had some new facts and advice to give that I had not previously known. I believe that the way the news is delivered also makes a big impact on how viewers receive it. Since all of the reporters on the Today Show are so good at what they do, everything they have to say can come across as somewhat life changing; as if you couldn’t go on without this new information. That is what makes people like watching shows like the Today Show. They do everything right when it comes to delivering news and nothing could have been any better on this morning’s show.
