The story that I chose to compare
was about a 14-year-old boxing champion, Carlo Perez who recently passed away
in a van crash in Oregon. My sources came
from KVAL, Fox 12 Oregon (KPTV) and KPIC. Differences in the story include both KVAL and
KPIC reporting the story from Springfield, Oregon whereas KPTV is reporting the
story from Aurora, Oregon.
Another
difference is that the KPTV coverage of the story does not include any quotes
whereas KVAL and KPIC includes quotes from both of Perez’s coaches along with
including a quote that Perez said himself in an interview about his boxing
goals just days before his passing. This is important because quotes make the
story more informative and interesting along with showing the reader what kind
of person Perez was during his life. This may possibly make readers more likely
to read KVAL and KPIC’s version of the story over KPTV because the readers are
learning more about the story because there is more information and because can
help make the reader connect to a story more because they are reading quotes
from people in their communities. Another difference between the KPIC, KVAL and
KPTV is that KPIC and KVAL are longer stories and include more information on
the report whereas KPTV was a smaller report on the story and had less
information.
Additionally,
KVAL and KPIC included regarding the actual accident than KPTV did. KVAL and
KPIC reported more regarding the names of those involved in the accident such
as the passengers. While KVAL did report some of the names of those involved,
they did not include as many identities of those involved as KVAL and KPIC did.
However, KPTV reported the name of the hospital that the victims were taken to
while KPIC and KVAL did not specify the name of the hospital but simply
reported that the hospital was located in Portland, Oregon.
