In my life I have
gotten to know several anchors and reporters for news channels and, in my eyes,
I would I look at them differently because I know they get on TV in front of
hundreds of thousands of viewers, including myself. Luckily, I knew them before
I ever saw them on the Television and that matters. There is something about
looking at the TV, seeing someone’s face and knowing many other people know
them too. It’s almost as if they are a local celebrity. Now that changes when
we get into national news, because then they almost become a celebrity, like
Anderson Cooper, Diane Sawyer and Walter Cronkite. Reporters in print media
don’t face that issue and can elude possible distortion with stories that come
with being on the television. Sources that are televised act much differently
than those on the radio or included in the print reports. It’s due to the fact
that they are more likely to know who the reporter is and where this story will
end up. Journalists like the anonymity of who they are, because they feel like
they would not be able to get all the stories they do if people knew what they
looked like.
