PLS HELP ASAP. WIIL GIVE BRAINLIEST. All that you've learned about cable news is going to seem pretty abstract until you actually see the medium in action. For this assignment, you will select a cable news show to watch it either on your family's television set or on the cable news channel's website. Then you'll write an essay in which you describe and analyze the program's content and compare it to its predecessor and competitor, network news.
