Are there any differences in
content with other news sources?
CNN is the only provider of this
article which provides a direct quote from the police stating how they will minimise the chance of similar actions in the future (please see comment 1.10). Although the article is neutral against the actual offence and the officer, however it appears that CNN are very much protecting the local police to avoid them losing respect and trust from the community in that area.
Whilst CNN and The Guardian
put in effort to allow the local police to protect their perception to maintain respect from society, BBC news include a range of quotes and links against the police such as "You could just hear where she hits the ground. And it's nothing but concrete, cement or links to previous articles (as shown in comment 2.7). No quotes were provided from the police superintendent.
The Guardian present much more
through information and data as they go into detail of what the next steps for the officer are. Implementing the quote from The Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas that states there are two sides to the story. This displays that they are by far the most neutral provider of this article out of the three, constantly contrasting each point or quote with the other side of the story.
How does news report portray
the public service/s?
Although CNN accept the wrongs
of the police officer and clearly provide evidence of his actions, the report still positively portrays the police in this article. Direct quotes have been embedded from the local police superintendent such as in comment 1.2 that states such actions are absolutely unwarranted. CNN allows the police to stand their ground and protect their image.
The BBC uses clear evidence and
quotes to portray the unlawful actions of the police as a whole, as well as the individual police officer. A lack of quotes from the police superintendent show that the BBC did not want to allow the police to be able to give their side of the story as they believed the actions did not deserve a side story. The BBC then embeds different cases of police brutality in school, further giving negative perspectives on the police as a whole.
The Guardian takes a very fair
approach towards the police department as they very much base the story on the actions of the individual officer, rather than an action of the entire force. This is shown in the first line of the first paragraph (as shown in 3.1), the article starts with the name of the officer, pointing the finger directly at him. This is then followed by a response by the police superintendent stating that his actions were unwarranted. This portrays the individual as a aggressive and power hungry, however the report does not portray this for the entire force.
What impact might it have on
societies views of the public service/s
Although some trust may be lost
in the area as a result of the police officer, citizens and society can feel more confident that the local police will take action to minimise such actions as the news article has allowed the police to state their thoughts and intentions.
Citizens in the US who send their
children to public schools may not only be afraid of crime, but also the potential police brutality that their children could suffer from. With multiple cases all over the country, society may look at the police as aggressive and lose faith in their protection.
It may be the case that many
citizens would become afraid of allowing their children into schools similar to the one in this case, however the Guardian allows people to still have some faith in the police as shown in the quotes that were given by the police. The report portrays that serious action is being taken, and the justice can act as a trust factor for citizens that these actions were not right nor are they the norm for police officers in schools.
What is your opinion of the
quality of this news report?
I believe that the quality of the
report is respectful of the local police and that no accusations are made against them. On the contrary actions of officers should be closely monitored and I think a comment should have been included that the police should have taken some responsibility. Overall, the article is effective and does the job of reporting the police brutality, but more focus should have been put on the issue of police brutality as a whole, due to the fact that it is a rising issue in the US.
Although I believe that this report
is noteworthy and provides a fair story, it does not provide in-depth information on the story, nor much say from the police department. The article as a whole is very short, especially compared to the others. I believe a great selection of figures are given to provide evidence of police brutality, providing them with a negative view. Nevertheless, I still think the story was reported well, however more could have been added to make the report more fair on the police department rather than taking more to the side of the victim.
I believe that the story reported by
the Guardian provide is very thorough, respectful and neutral. Quotes are given from both sides of the story in full, and there are no direct judgements made. They took a very professional approach by not harming the perspective of the police department and giving another side of the story for the police officer, whilst still being able to report the news in full, which is their intended purpose. I would personally say that the Guardian reported the story in the most professional, and fair manner out of the three articles presented.
