[Narrator]
Fantasy Football has especially gained
popularity with today’s teenagers.

IT’S REALLY QUICK AND EASY TO SET UP.
[Narrator]

[Narrator]
Another reason many people find it
so interesting is because it’s so easy

[Sam Ross]
IT’S ADDICTING BECAUSE YOU GET
TO CHECK IT EVERYDAY.
[Garrett Runing]

novice to take on a managerial role in
a league.
[League Owner Kyle]
AFTER YOU GET THE 10 PEOPLE YOU NEED
GO ON TO ESPN.COM, AND SEND INVITES

I’VE GOT TO BEAT ALL THE OTHER KIDS
IN MY LEAGUE.
[Narrator]

trash talking that accompany Fantasy
Football, it’s easy to see why the trend
has grown so rapidly, especially with
teenagers. To anyone interested in
starting their own league, here’s a little
tip from a professional…
[Sam Ross]
CHRIS JOHNSON AND PEYTON
MANNING ARE THE BEST PLAYERS

News Notes
Define “Broadcast Journalism” in 1-3 sentences.
Broadcast Journalism is the presentation of current events that are newsworthy via the internet, television, or radio.
List and describe the six criteria of newsworthiness.
TITLE DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
1. Timeliness- things that are occuring now (ex. caring about the football game that just happened yesterday)
2. Significance- things that impact a number of people (ex. the economy struggles affect a lot of people)
3. Prominence- things that happen to famous people (ex. watching Entertainment Tonight)
4. Unusualness- things that rarely happen (ex. a plane crash that kills people)
5. Proximity- things that are close to us (ex. a fire in apple valley, as opposed to a fire in atlanta)
6. Human Interest- things that appeal to our emotions (ex. a dying baby is adopted and healed)
What are the differences between print journalism and broadcast journalism?
1. Broadcasts are much more live and recent
2. Print you have the ability to read what you want to read
3. Print stories have more details
How is the Internet impacting broadcast journalism?
The internet can be updated instantaneously which allows the most current news to be revealed, it allows you the ability to read what you want to read, and you can get all the details you want. Essentially, it is the best of both worlds (Print and Broadcast).
