1.05 Discussion: A Date with History

Retrieve the two articles that you read about a former and the current president. Consider your observations on the two pieces. By comparing and contrasting your former president news story with your current president news story, share with your classmates what you have learned about the nature of news and how it has changed over time. Think about news values and trends in journalism to inform your responses. Things to think about as you write your posts: Has the language used in news stories changed over time? Does the very definition of news or news values seem different? Does what passes as fact in the news story seem different? Is the presentation different, such as quality of photographs or enhanced multimedia? What are each of the story's sources (attribution) and is there anything to note about similarities or differences?
