Summary of the 5 Newspaper Articles I Have Found

Elliot Maunder

In this presentation I am going to be analysing 5 different newspaper articles for the American TV Drama ( The Walking Dead) and I am going to be explaining what information the cuttings are giving and what articles provides the most information about the TV drama

Newspaper Article 1

In the first article that I found the information that is in there is talking about the walking dead being a much darker program than the comic book actually and it is talking about the characters being similar to the ones in the comic book. The article also talks about what the show is like and says things such as “ If you haven't seen this show yet, stop what your doing immediately get ready to be hooked. The article also has a brief description of what happens at the start of the walking dead and a brief intro to the story but what it also has is a brief description of the next episode that’s on so the newspaper article does provide some information but not enough information about the TV drama

Newspaper Article 2In the second Article its an actor who plays the character (Merle Dixon) and he talks about what its been like for him on the walking dead and he also discusses the future of the walking dead in season 3 so this article may not provide much information about the history of the walking dead but it does provide future information about it for example he is asked the question “do you think the relationship between Daryl and Carole will continue to blossom across season 3 “ and another question that was asked was “ Daryl's become ricks go to guy in the absence of Shane. Will merle drive a wedge between that? “ and questions like that will revel the future history of the walking dead so this article does provide some future information about the television series.

Newspaper Article 3In the third article that I found about the walking dead on mtv , it is talking about what could happen in the future of the show after the mid season finale so it is providing information which could happen in the future of the history of the walking dead . It doesn’t discuss any of the past history of the walking dead but it does go on about what can happen in the future with certain popular characters so it does provide a good source of information for example it mentions “ the shows ranks are boosted by the arrival of Tyreeses party “ so this is providing information that the show is getting more popular when they introduce more characters from the comic book series.

Newspaper Article 4In the forth article that I have found its someone's review on the walking dead series and they describe how they enjoyed the series and all about the new characters which makes season 3 and the article has a brief description about the new characters and how they will attract viewers who read the comic book to the series. This article does provide some information about the history of the show but its just a brief description about it but it is mainly just a review about the past seasons and what's installed for the third season.

Newspaper Article 5The fifth article on the walking dead is talking about what happened on the first and second episode of the walking dead and it is explaining in detail what happened in theses episodes for example it says “ last week we left our gang of plucky zombie killers in a bad place, Sophia is missing and Carl was shot.The article does explain quite a good source of information it gives quite a good description of The Walking Dead and talks about what's happening with each characters in the episode and what's happening with them for example “ back at the rv, Tdog is having a hard time , his arm is infected”.

Over all this article does provide a lot of information about the first two episode's of season 2 in the walking dead it gives full descriptions what's going on with each character and the state they are in at the moment so this article is very informative about the history of The Walking Dead.
