"Covering Media"

Train in Hoboken, New Jersey crashes into platform with at least one dead and over a hundred injured.

Since this is a breaking news story, many forms of media have been covering this ongoing story.

Almost every news channel station on the television has live coverage.

Some channels are interviewing eye witnesses, whereas some have live helicopters trying to capture the intensity of the chaos at the scene.

There are so many questions that need to be answered since this everyday train commute was just doing its daily routine.

Online media also has massive amount of coverage with articles being updated as more information comes in.          

Articles from national news sources such as NBC, and CNN, all have this coverage located at the top of their page filled with eyewitness cellphone videos and 25 paragraphs full page information.

Even the radio has primarily made their morning show emphasizing on this chaotic incident.

Morning shows on FM station keep breaking their segments as breaking information comes in.

AM radio has made more coverage a priority to have ongoing coverage especially on stations like KGO and BBC.

The coverage on the television seems to have the most current information because of live press conferences and watching it live as opposed to online news which takes time to write the article.

The TV coverage also has more in depth information as opposed to broadcast because of the anchors dealing with direct source information and visuals.

Covering these three types of media has made me understand that even though they has same information, it was the television that covers breaking news stories with more visual aid of press conferences, eye witnesses, and the live coverage of the wreck.
