The language of the news plays a large impact on how the viewer comes to understand the story that it forms. As we talked about language in the begging of the year, and how it is practically impossible to live a life without having a language of some sort, this becomes incredibly relivent when the news is taken under consideration. The way a newscaster chooses to tell a story plays into how the viewer will come to see that story from then on.
The question comes in when so many stories are told in such a short time, can our language really tell a story to the best of it's ability? And even if it cannot, can the aid of picture and video help to tell the tale? Languages importance will never cease to exist, however it may prove impossible to accurately describe an event with the use of just our language....
