This news radio story was a package story. The anchor introduces a reporter who also introduces various sources who explain the mine blast situation in West Virginia. This story can also be considered an actuality story because it also includes “the voice of a participant in the news story,” (Stovall 216).
This story was told differently than a print journalist because not only are their sentences much shorter and simpler than a print journalist, but also the most evident reason being the voices of people involved with the mine blast show the effect and emotion involved in such a disaster. This news story includes quotes from different sources, and the reporter elaborates shortly after. Print journalists often analyze before and after a quote. This is different from broadcast journalists who focus primarily on explaining after a quote to explain the value.
