The first news station I watched was WB39 news at 9:00 p.m. This news show is probably the least watched news station on Houston. I know this because the show seems much unorganized and the people seem nervous. The two desk reporters who were giving the nightly news both spoke very timidly and never took their eyes off the queue cards. One of them was a white male and the other was a black woman. They started out with a story about an Amtrak derailment that killed 1 and injured 96. They showed pictures of crash site and they said that the caused of the crash was unknown. I thought it was weird that they did not know how the crash happened and yet the reported it. Next, they went to report on the Anna Nico

The second news station I watch was FOX26. They had the same stories in almost the same order that in the WB39 news. The news reporters had the same makeup as the reporters did in WB39 as well. The only thing that was different was how FOX26 had done more news and weather than anything else had. They had a big weather report that had to have been at least half of the show. One thing I also noticed about FOX26 was that they had advertising during their show. When they would be done with the commercial and ready to come on the air, they would pop up advertisements of food products and investment firms. I thought this was odd because they never report anything bad about those firms or products and they advertise their slogans instead. This station also kept with the theme of WB39 and had a young female reporter and an old male reporter. The reason for this is that men prefer younger women and women prefer older males because they trust them more to give them the news.

News these days involve more than just the news. If involves advertising, biased reporting, and stories that some of us just do not care about. I noticed that our news station have nationalism present. The stories around the world are only short glimpse of what happened. Not only that but the only way you hear more about it is if an American is involved or even yet a Texan. With that, along with our nationalism, we also demonstrate localism. The majority of the news program
