Rhetorical Analysis of a News Show
I chose to watch CNN on October 14. The story I viewed was about the spread of wild fires in California, which have become much worse now. It was easy for the station to gain the viewer's attention because when someone sees a huge fire on a TV screen, they are going to zone in. So of course, CNN started by showing pictures of the fires. Then they went to the news part of the story and begain to tell about how many people had to be evacuated and how many acres of land had been destroyed. The story did not end with a positive note, but it did end with more pictures of the fires. Thich kept the viewer on the channel for the next story which most people would not normally stay to watch. It was about the stock market.
