Politician Scenario:

Questions:

1. If you will be a reporter, are you going to use the conventional way of how the each media will broadcast the given scenario?

A: Yes since it is the traditional way of reporting and the only way people will have a wide access to it. Though, I will make sure the information comes from the source itself and not from another form of media.

2. What will you do to not make your report boring? Elaborate your answer.

A: To be able to gain the attention of the audience, I will make sure to make up a eye-catching title, inserting videos and making a presentation (such as a powerpoint) to appeal to the audience's interest.

3. Would you exaggerate some elements in your report to make it interesting? Why?

A: Yes, especially the title. All because it will keep up with the attention span of the reader. They would want to read an article that is not very much plain and bare. They need an article with a few gist of words or jokes within the information to be entertained at the same time. Though, I will make sure that the exaggeration will not draw the audience to a misunderstanding and keep the information as accurate as possible.
