This is an expose on why the news sucks. I take actual real clips of local news. I then comment on each of them and tell my opinions about the quality of local news in general. It would link well to people interested in media literacy issues. It is a somewhat humorous piece.

Review of Local News SucksThis piece is a diamond in the rough. Media savvy Ben Hyde lays it on the line about local news and what he finds wrong with it. Interwoven with his collage of newsclips are his comments. Everything he says is true, it just needs to be said more clearly and succintly. The piece brings out the powerful ability of the media to hone in on a trivial subject and give it more credence than it's due. The clip of the news station that had people strip an SUV in its studio is especially interesting. Is the news really news, or just entertainment? Good stuff. Just needs to be tightened up. |

Review of Local News SucksThis is a really cute piece, unfortunately the audio is atrocious. That's a shame. The actual clips from the evening news are breathtaking in their idiocy and they do everything they are supposed to do to make the commentator's point. But you can barely hear them. The voice tracks have a freshness and they sound real, like you're sitting with this guy at a bar or a party and he's just raving about how stupid the local news is. He does go on a little too long and it starts to sound like an Open-Mic Night routine ("Hey, the evening news, what's with THAT?!") after a while. But overall, this seems like a good first draft. |

Review of Local News Sucks
This is a very fun piece, except for the quality of the TV audio. I still liked it a great deal. I could hear this on On The Media, if the TV audio were better.
Well done!
