News stories are covered multiple times and most of us don't even realize it. Although more recently, many people receive news from more similar mediums, such as the Internet, due to the decline of newspapers. “Since 1940, the total number of daily newspapers has fallen by more than 21 percent” (McIntosh and Pavlik, 119). Often we don't realize that the same story we read online has been covered by our local news channel and in our local newspaper, and even more so, that same story is covered by many news channels, newspapers and different news sites throughout the country. and even the world. So what makes these stories different? Every time you read a news story from a different source, something different happens to it. The different views and frames used by the source give the reader a different view each time. I saw it first hand in both of my stories. In my project, I compared the same story of Mya Lyons, a nine-year-old girl who was stabbed to death. The first place I found this story was on the Fox news channel, which led me to my new alternative source, the Chicago Defender. The Chicago Defender is a century-old Chicago newspaper. The Defender is an African-American newspaper. On May 5, 1905, The Defender was founded in Robert Abbott's kitchen. It was originally a four-page editorial made from local articles Abbott found in the area and had a print run of only about 300 copies selling at twenty-five cents each. Over the years, the Defender gradually became a major outlet for the feelings of the African American community, being known for its outspokenness in attacking white oppression and advocating equality for African Americans. The Defender, in its heyday, featured poets such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Langston Hughes as well as pieces by many other writing legends. Since then, the newspaper has grown into a daily newspaper that, as recently as 2009, was recognized as the most influential newspaper of its kind in the early and mid-20th century. Although in recent years the newspaper has declined. It was recently purchased by Real Time Inc. who intend to continue the original intent of the newspaper, attracting and informing the African American community as well as helping the newspaper grow in the future (Chicago Defender's history dates back over a century).).
