The news broadcast I chose was about bedbugs and how they are not only disgusting, but extremely hazardous to one's health. In the middle of the broadcast, a woman was interviewed and showed signs of pure disgust with her hand movements, frustrated facial expressions, and concernedtone of voice. This really caught my attention because she came off a little frightening, butalso just wanted to help the public, which reminded of a "Maven" kind of bias as mentioned by Malcolm Gladwell in The Tipping Point. The broadcaster was strictly informative,justrelaying factual information tothe viewer without showing any type of emotion, butthe woman being interviewed is where all the power lies in this broadcast. She leaves a lasting effect on the reader by telling her scary story and giving helpful hints to the viewer as to how to prevent them from suffering from bedbugs like she did. The broadcaster leaves little to no effect on the viewer, while the woman really leaves the real impression.
