Trump nominates 'brilliant' Neil Gorsuch, 49, to the Supreme Court - making him the youngest candidate in 25 years and firing the starting gun on a bitter battle with the Democrats
Tells the audience that Trump is trying to aggravate the opposition by choosing a 'brilliant' candidate. Could show political bias towards Trump (conservative), as they show that trying to annoy the left wing party, which they connote to approve of with inclusion of positive language.
Current News - Trump chooses conservative for Supreme Court
1. What media was used to present the story?
Videos - used by the BBC website and app (presenting additional but not essential history information to the article - the current situation with the Supreme Court, showing footage of what happened etc.) which was used to make sure the audience had access to as much information as possible regarding the case while not taking up large amounts of space, making it appropriate for app and web use. Can also be used on TV to present information in a different way that some people may find preferable, so information regarding the subject can be delivered more effectively.
Text - Short paragraphs, 3-4 lines maximim, which was used to quickly deliver essential information to the audience without appearing intimidating or boring. Used additional media to help with the delivery, although all key info was in the text, which makes it appropriate for a website or app reading, or to be used as a script on TV or on the radio.
Images - Just used in web and app mediums, although could be used on TV, which provide additional information for the audience and make it easier to digest infomration, as walls of text can be broken up by images. Showed Neil Gorsuch, Trump and the situation they appeared in.
2. Key information that was communicated across all platforms?
The political position of Neil Gorsuch, his age and the office he was appointed to, which are all key parts of the story as they all effect why he was chosen, and why there might be opposition to his position.
3. What information was not included across all platforms?
Background on the Supreme Court and Neil Gorsuch, which was only included on web and app mediums where additional information could be provided via videos and images without taking up time/space.
4. Bias of different providers?
BBC - did not show bias on the article, and used additional sources such as videos to provide the audience with a rounded view of the subject, so they could make their own, more informed decision.
Daily Telegraph - called the ceremony 'flamboyant', which could show bias towards Trump or the decision, as it could easily be called something much more negative, e.g. 'Over the top' etc
Guardian - title 'Staunch conservative with background to worry liberals' connotes to the audience that the choice was negative, and so shows left poilitical bias
