FOR PROF.GOODMAN

 

Hi Prof Goodman here I have attached everything for you and all the links.

It may look like an overload of information however just trying to provide you with 
as much information as possible and helping you understand where I got all my information from.
I obviously don’t expect you to read everything, but just want you to have it all in case you 
get confused and want to make reference. 
 
What I have done so far which I have attached for you, is simply read through the 4 different reference papers
and copied what I thought was relevant into a word document, so you can see the type of things
that need to be spoken about pretty much what I need to do. So I am happy if you use that information
however just needs to be reworded so it isn’t plagiarised, and a lot of it is in reference to other media channels
which needs to be removed and dated from events years ago, so just need to update information so is made
relevant to my assignment.
 
PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME WHENEVER!
I want to be working together on this, so I can ensure this paper is perfect
and can help you out if you do not understand anything! 
 
And for quick reference I have written what needs to be done again 
I am comparing CNN and Al Jazeera
 
OH AND ALSO YOU DONT NEED TO READ ALL THE NEWS STORIES ITS JUST WHAT IVE COLLECTED OVER THE WEEK, JUST A BASIC COMPARISION BETWEEN CNN (ENGLISH VERSION) AND AL JAZEERA TO DETERMINE THE TYPES OF THINGS THEY CONSIDER TO BE TOP 5 NEWS WORTHY AND THEYRE DIFFERENT WAYS OF STYLING THE ARTICLETS, BIAS, ETC ETC
