For this assignment I listened to WCBS Newsradio 880 on the itunes radio application. The station explained how two government scientist blame climate change for the loss of two glaciers in upper Alaska. The speaker, Bill Witney, had a very smooth voice that would punctuate words of importance. This style of news reporting is very different because it has to be interesting, fast, and smooth enough the inform the listener. Witney’s voice never took a pause for air in the middle of the sentence and would keep a very mono-ton speaking style. I also found it interesting that there was no “fairness” to the story. This to me is very different because as journalist it is essential to get both sides of the story. I am still interested to hear from another source on why the glaciers melted.
