NEWS ANCHORS

When it comes to news anchors of the recent years and how they have changed since the ones of the past it becomes a big topic on its own. In simple terms when someone watches the news of recent years, especially in American news, the anchors are not only there to provide the news but to also try and entertain the viewers as well. In the past it was about being formal and getting the news across as effectively as possible. In the next few paragraphs I am going to explain the past and the present in news anchors.

Bill O'reilly A Fox News Anchor

In the past when it came to getting the information to the public it was mostly done with rough paper cutouts and slides for the public to read and the anchor to explain. The emphasis on the facts was much much higher as that's what they created the news specifically for. Due to how the news was on a tight schedule to get the news across it was often a lot more blunt and to the point, giving the viewers all the necessary information and not much else so they can get as much as possible in the time they had. They couldn't waste money following a case like they do now,like vultures, so they focus on what they have and giving it as best as they can with the rudimentary tools they had.


One News Anchor that has stood out in recent years over in America is Bill O'reilly. He himself is a very imposing man to look at and in an interview with the son of a 9/11 victim showed something that was very dark. He Proceeded to badger the poor Jeremy Glick to try and distort his words against him. He seems to have taken it upon himself to try and make Jeremy seem unpatriotic and thus ensue that he is then seen as a bad person in the eyes of the public. Its horrible to see something like this as Jeremy has a right to say whatever he wants but he has that taken away from him in this interview.

This is what has become of the news over in America and I hope it stays there personally as it has no place in modern news in my opinion.

In recent years the News has become a little warped in the way it is giving the information itself. The News anchors have started to become a form of celebrity themselves and have started to take over the News themselves as the star and not the actual News. That is not only how the news has changed in the recent decades. As technology became  more and more affordable and easy to use the News animators learnt how to create things digitally and create things not seen before to try and emphasize something else which can make us distracted by the actual points. Its a sad thing when the News becomes as fake as the animations they use but that's where its heading, especially over in America where Fox News can alter information to get their way in the world.
