Paper Summary:

The presentation of the strengths and weaknesses for both the newspaper and television news coverage are thoughtful.

From the Paper:

"Both newspapers and news shows provide the public with information of interest; however, after researching, I can now conclude that the newspaper reporters wrote their sports stories with the interest of the busy working adult in mind. Newspaper articles went straight to the point by stating the game's final score toward the beginning of the article and supporting details and quotes later on."
