ASSIGNMENT FIVE:

The analysis of the pig disease story.
The source of the story is quite credible. It introduce the information from the government, the villagers and some experts. At the first page of this news, the writer summarized the pig disease story and screetly put her own opinion in the story.

But we aren’t superstitious that it is a perfectly fair and neutral reporting.

On the one hand,she said that there were signs that the infected pigs had polluted the drinking water. And all through the story, there are no clear demonstration except the content of the last paragraph. But we can see from the last paragraph, the scene may not be the reporter or the researcher’s first hand observation. She has no evidence to prove the polluted drinking water theory.

And on the other hand, we think that the reporter has missed an important point of the story. All she wants to do is to show that Chinese government refuses to be helpful in pig diseace control. And she also takes SARS as an example. But she has forgotten that China had successfully keep SARS under control. Maybe the international organizations should give more trust to Chinese experts. But news is not about guess, it needs facts and figures. Providing the details of international aids and letting the readers judge may be better.

In general, we thought the story is quite a successful report. We have learnt that we need facts and figures to back our conclusions. And these sources must be credible. We can’t get informations from someone who are not related to the story.
