Comment on the news reports/commentaries/newscasters and information made available in this week’s lecture. Your views – use examples. For instance, what do you think was shown then that would never be shown now? What are your views on the First Lady’s Tour of the White House? What does this say about public relations and the Kennedy Presidency? How would you react to such a tour today? Would today’s audience welcome this type of program?
Putting technology aside, how different was the reporting in style then than it is now? Was it more, or less, effective from an audience’s perspective? Is today’s reporting better due to technology? Is today’s reporting excessive or just right to ensure an informed populace? How would you change it if you could?
