News Story: Pittsburgh Steelers Win Super Bowl XLIII-- all stories from Feb. 1, 2009

Newspaper: I found a newspaper article out of the Seattle Times about the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl XLIII. The article was just over 1,100 words. There were six sources used in the article-- all of them were either players or coaches. The story was accompanied by four pictures which emphasized some of the major plays that occured in the game.
Television News: I found a television newscast from KCRG-TV sports. The story was a little over two minutes long. There were three sources quoted-- all three were players who played in the game. The way the newscast covered the game was much different than the newspaper. The newscast provided a present tense, descripton of the highlights that were being shown on the screen. There was more detail in the sense that the viewer was able to see more of the plays that happened. The newspaper covered more of the big plays in the game.
Web: The web article I found was from ESPN.com as was about 2,000 words. This article was most similar to the one I found in the newspaper but it was much longer and went into much greater detail. There were four sources quoted in the article-- three from players and one from the owner of the Steelers. This story, overall, was very similar to the print story that I read.
