Different Approaches to the Same Story

A speech story about President Obama's speech at the United Nations was portrayed three different ways by three different news groups.

The AP, New York Times, and NBC all reported on the speech by the President, and all three of them had distinctly different styles. The Associated Press was a more direct story that got down to the facts quickly. The New York Times added a lot more details and quotes, and was a more in-depth story.

NBC's broadcast report was down to the point but also focused on some of the other world leaders that made appearances at the United Nations. NBC also differed by being a little more detailed when describing the audience's reaction to the President's speech.
