News stories are covered multiple times and most of us don't even realize it. Although more recently many people get their news through more similar mediums such as the Internet due to the decline of newspapers. “Since 1940, the total number of daily newspapers has declined by more than 21 percent” (McIntosh and Pavlik, 119). Many times we don't realize that the same story we read online has been covered by our local news station and in our local newspaper, even as well as this same story is covered in many different news stations, newspapers and news sites all over 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. The different views and frames used by the source give the reader a different perspective each time. I saw this firsthand in my two 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 station, which led me to look at 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 circulation of about 300 copies sold for twenty-five cents each. As the years passed, the Defender slowly transformed into an important outlet for the feelings of the African-American community, being known for its outspokenness in attacking white oppression and advocating for equality for African-Americans. The Defender, at its peak, featured poets such as Gwendolyn Brooks and Langston Hughes along with pieces by many other writing legends. The newspaper has since evolved 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 paper has declined in recent years. It was recently purchased by Real Time Inc. who intends to carry on the paper's original intent, appeal to and inform the African-American community, as well as help the paper expand in the future (the Chicago Defender's history dates back over a century).).
