As we have seen and talked about this semester, print and broadcast media have converged —meaning that they no longer distribute news on one platform or another. Increasingly, national media outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, VICE Media and many others, utilize video to recap or in many instances, present news in a different fashion.
Take a look at the “fact-checker” video here from the Washington Post on March 12th. It’s a good example of integrated news reporting. In this case, it’s analysis of President Trump’s address to the nation on Wednesday.

I thought this was really interesting. I think it is very important for journalists to fact check what people of high authority are saying because they can influence a lot of people. I do think it’s incredibly interesting that whether Trump writes these speeches or someone else do they go through a variety of people to get checked and it amazes me that all these people let these false statements just go. It makes sense why so many people do not trust politicians because they are constantly trying to make a situation look a certain way. One thing I would have to disagree with in the video was the statement about the European Union, I understand that Italy is a part of the European Union but it was really the country of Italy who decided to close its borders, not the whole European Union.
