In this newscast them male reporter is explaining the disease that has taken charge over Haiti after the damaging earthquake. The video shows sites in Haiti where millions of people in need of care are camped out. The reporter starts out the newscast by explaining the unsanitary conditions these people are forced to live in while they slowly receive relief from the natural disaster. The newscaster does not start out by mentioning the exact country of the location in assumption everyone is already educated on the events that have taken place. If I were writing this story I would have started out saying exactly where the story is taking place.

The reporter uses verbs in the past tense when explaining how these people lived before the earthquake and adds in the phrase “are now” when explaining their current situations. This is a good technique when building a story because he can contrast and explain the people’s living situations.

Three interviews take place in this newscast. One was a translated interview from a woman who’s suffered injuries and whose family is in need of care as well. The purpose was to give an example of what consequences people are experiencing. He then adds a second interview of Rashid Kysia, a volunteer doctor, and then goes straight into an interview with Ann Veneman the UNICEFF executive director. If I were the writer of this article I would space the interviews out more and add more to the content of the story and leave the interviews throughout the beginning, middle, and end to help explain the situation. I would have also maybe added more individual examples of the people who are suffering, to really get the point across that this disease spreading could be very harmful. However I do think the flow of the story is positive and catches people’s attention with the set of the newscast.
