- Which topics were covered during the listening slot? Lifestyle,trends
- Specifically, discuss your impressions concerning the depth of the coverage, competency, accuracy and newsworthiness of the stories you hear?
- It wasn't too much in depth it was very brief. However, the content was good because it talks about people counting calories now that rules have been made at restaurants in N.Y and Washington, D.C. It definitely is newsworthy because people are always talking about going on a diet and finding ways to stay healthy
- If you aren't an active listener to NPR, discuss what it's like to get information in a radio format. Do you like it? Did it engage you? Will you be coming back to NPR for your news fix?
- For this particular piece I would be okay with listening to NPR. I didn't need a visual to stay focused with this one. I was engaged in the story only because I love healthy foods and always wanted restaurants to publicly display the nutritional value with each meal. It impacted me to continue to watch what I eat.
- What particular story or stories grabbed your interest? Give a brief description of the story and tell me who was the reporter. What impressed you the most about the journalism? If you were not impressed, what went wrong with the piece? How was sound used in the story?
- The story was discussing how restaurants have to display the amount of calories in each othe meals now. Restaurants are tweaking their menus calling it "Read them before you eat them." The reporter was Allison Aubrey. What impressed me the most was the statistics she provided such as how Starbucks has 400 calories in one drink and there are 1700 calories in one Johnny Rockets double meat burger. Fast food chains are cutting calories on the newer items by 60 calories instead of cutting calories on the signature items.
