Extra credit video analysis

This is an amazing example of in-depth, interactive coverage over a growing controversy in the world today. This video exposes the lives of 3 undocumented students, living in the US without legal status. Never having touched a camera, the 3 students were gifted with a small handycam and trained for half a day. They were asked to film everyday for 3 months. Although long, about 19 minutes in fact, it never gets boring. It's incredibly different than what you usually see of a narrator simply talking about an issue. Instead, you see it through the eyes of the undocumented students, and the viewer gains knowledge of what they would have never known if it was your typical news video. It may not display views from both sides of the story, but in a way that's not so bad of a thing. Regarding undocumented citizens, you hardly ever hear their sides of the story, so in this case it was good to shed some new light on the subject and show what is at hand on the other side. I have no complaints.

Now this on the other hand is a very poor coverage of a very serious story. It's a typical breaking news story in comparison to the other video, but that is not what bugged me about it. This video is CNN's coverage over the Steubenville, Ohio rape case. It is incredibly bias, not towards the victim, but towards the sex offenders. They talk about how the boys' "promosing lives" have been "ruined by the event", and not once talking about the toll this has taken on the victim. Throughout the reporters are consistently talking about the boys and how unfortunate this was on them. This video got a lot of negative responses from a lot of media and people, for good reason.
