All of these videos are showing the interviews that my partner Anael and I conducted about what people think about news and infotainment! Throughout the questionnaire the people we interviewed expressed many different opinions, some of the statistics of our classes compiled information was actually very shocking.
When we asked the question "Do you get your news on- line, TV, or in print?" 37 people answered with online. Then, 10 people said print and 18 people said TV. This showed me that many people really don't rely on printed news anymore. Also, the correlation between age and whether people read print or not was a factor. Typically the people who were 48 and older were the ones who used print.
Another interresting statistic was if people consider celebrity gossip news. 43 people answered with no, 12 answere with yes and 4 answered with sometimes. Then, when people were asked if they believed that if an ongoing criminal trial was considered news, 45 people said yes, 14 said no and 3 people said it depends. These two answers were completely different. Along with this was asked "do you trust the major news networks?" The results for that was 29 people said yes, 17 people said no and 15 said maybe. Lastly, we asked if people trusted the internet for their news. When answering the question, 20 people said yes, 16 said no, and 23 said maybe. These results seemed to be the most evenly split.
When we asked people to "define infotainment" many people did not know how to respond. One response we got was, "[Infotainment] is trying to make information entertaining. This means that the news would include things that people want to see, not what they don't have an interrest in."
Along with this question we asked, "do you trust the major news networks?" The respsonse we got to that was, "No, only part. Certain news networks are not about the full truth. They only show their perspective."
