Speaker: Eugene Robinson
Occasion: Malaysian flight 370 had been missing for 12 days at the time of this piece.
Audience: People speculating what really happened to this plane along with concerned family members of the passengers.
Purpose: To criticize how this tragic event has been taken advantage of by journalists and news reporters to twist this into an interesting story instead of giving viewers and families information from the actual event.
Subject: News reporters all over the world and journalists covering the story who are deleting facts from this event in place of "interesting" pieces of information because they want to make money off of this story.
Tone: The tone is critical and almost angry at news reporters who are taking advantage of this event to make money by spinning stories in a more creative and interesting direction.
After following this collumnist for six weeks, I have learned that Eugene Robinson remains relatively even tempered most of the time. He has a way of writing that makes his audience feel guilty for events that happened, especially when dealing with racism or discrimination because I have learned that he expresses himself more clearly when dealing with those topics.
