NBC Nightly News Post

I watched the February 10th broadcast of NBC Nightly News. I decided to watch NBC over the other news stations because of the way NBC presents their information about events. This news segment had stories that had the values that we went over in class. The first story was about Russia giving the United States a refugee that President Trump wants. This story contained the element of conflict. The United States does not know if Russia truly wants to make amends or if they are up to something else. There is also conflict towards whether or not the refugee deserves the death penalty in the United States. A second story had the element of impact. Families all across the United States are being torn apart because illegal immigrants are being deported This not only affects the emotional state of families but it can also have a negative impact psychologically on children growing up. A third story had the element of human interest. There have been many extreme weather events in the past month in different parts of the United States. People were intrigued when seeing the damage that different storms created. Overall, conflict and tragedy are the main themes of the NBC Nightly News.
