For this assignment I choose to watch an hour news cast from Entertainment Tonight. Entertainment Tonight is classified as an entertainment news broadcasting show. Because this is an entertainment news show, all of their stories are about different celebrities and what scandalous things they did, or what new hot fashion trend the celebrities are now wearing. Entertainment tonight provides their viewers with anything and everything going on with the daily lives of the Hollywood celebrities. For example, the show I watched talked about the Emmy Awards and the status of Robert Pattinson's and Kristen Stewart's relationship.
For this show there were not any opinions being given on the topics being broadcasted. The news casters simply stated the information about whatever story they were airing first. With the story about Robert and Kristen, the reporter told the story as it happened and never gave her opinion about their current relationship situation. The same case goes for all the stories ET did on the Emmy Awards. They said what celebrities attended, what they were wearing, and what awards were given out.
This show was effective in informing me about the topics displayed during a entertainment show. Unlike local news shows and sports shows, entertainment shows focus on what Hollywood celebrities are doing not who won the football game or what body was found and where. Because Entertainment Tonight is a more celebrity based news show the atmosphere of the show is a lot more laid back then it would be on Channel 13 news. The news reporters of ET know what exactly to talk about that will keep the viewers hooked on their show. They know that the juicier the gossip story the more viewers they are going to receive.
