News Story Reflection 4

This news story was a follow up on the controversy about players protesting during the National Anthem.  It focused on the Dallas Cowboys and how their owner Jerry Jones kneeled with them before the anthem was played. They did this to refute Donald Trumps criticism of those who don't "respect" this nation and it's National Anthem.

Throughout the package, it has the anchor talking with pictures and videos of the players during the National Anthem. Then, it was Jones' Press Secretary trying to clarify that they weren't doing it in spite of Trump, they were just banding together as a team and a family.

One thing the reporter did well was that they didn't just get pictures of the event, they actually got live footage that included more than just one clip.  They also got an interview with someone besides the subject of the story to get a different view point.

Recently in an Ohio high school, there was a student shooting killing 2 different kids. 4 students total were injured and one more was put into custody after he opened fire in the school cafeteria.

One thing that the reporter did well was that they got more than one interview: one with a victim/bystander and one with a family member.  They had very detailed answers that connected back to the reporters' story.  Their voice overs matched up with the soundbytes of the interviews very well.
Something they could've done better was that they could've gotten a larger variety of shots.  While they weren't there at the actual scene and couldn't get footage of the incident at the actual moment it happened, they could've tried to go into the school and get footage of the halls or talk to teachers, etc.
