TAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS:

AND STRECH IT TO MAKE IT THIS:

THINK ABOUT HOW WHAT SAYS EFFECTS HOW YOU REACT… AND EVERYONE ELSE AROUND YOU

FOR EXAMPLE!

In the article “People killing people on the news”: Young children's

descriptions of frightening television news content.

A survey was taken on 6th graders and the effect watching the news had on their everyday

life. A qualitative analysis suggests that these children had vivid memories of the disturbing news content

each one of them witnessed.

The article: “Delivering the scary news: Newspaper sourcing in a bioterrorism

crisis.” focuses on:

The risk of communication factors in news sourcing, again portraying the negatives of

the media’s reaction disaster.

This article gives a specific example referencing back to the 2001 Anthrax

terrorist attack.

These stories possessed a sense of exaggerating, thus causing a more negative

reaction by the public.

THIS NEGATIVE EFFECT HAPPENS

WITH MOST CASES!

THE NEGATIVITY AND EXAGGERATION COMING FROM GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA’S REACTION TO DISASTER EFFECTS US ALL!
