broadcast journalism vs. print journalism

Journalism comes in many different forms, each with its own set of rules and guidelines, and most importantly, each with its distinct goals.
For instance, broadcast journalism is more tailored than print journalism is in the sense that the packages are often shorter than print news stories are because humans have a shorter attention span visually. Another way journalists in either field address the shortened attention span of viewers or readers is the writing style utilized. Print journalism follows the inverted pyramid model, where the most specific information is at the beginning. Broadcast scripts are written like a speech, verbally leading the viewer through the sequence of events.
Broadcast journalism has a little more design and multimedia freedom than print does; print has to rely a lot more on graphics or stunning pictures to capture the audience. Broadcast, because it is a live, moving feed, has an easier time capturing the audience and keeping them tuned in.
I prefer print journalism because it offers more freedom than broadcast journalism does. You have more time to capture the audience’s attention, and if redactions of corrections need to be made, it’s easier with print than it is using broadcast.
