YOUR ANSWERS
Predict how this event will be covered by television, radio, print, and Internet?
·         The television may cover this event by showing videos of protesters supporting the accused government official. The television will try to paint the whole ordeal in a bad light by making the struggle between the police and the protesters seem more intense than it actually is.
·         The radio will state things as they are, though, the added commentary of the radio hosts or the ones delivering the news of the event might influence the opinions of the people listening.
·         Print media will cover the event by making a brief summary of the incident and accompanying it with a photo in the newspapers.
·         The Internet will surely start discourses about this issue and, hopefully, intellectual discussions will occur.
How may the presentation of facts vary from medium to medium?
Since each medium utilizes a different type of aid to support their reports or coverage of the events, then there might be slight differences in terms of the presentation of the facts.
How do the codes and conventions vary from medium to medium?
The language, that is the codes and conventions, being used by each medium varies from one another, mainly because the presentation or delivery of the message they are trying to send to their viewers or listeners are different for each medium.
How much of these differences will be based on the unique characteristics of the medium?
Most of these differences, if not all, will be based on the unique characteristics of the medium being used.
