2) Style of writing - TV is objective, fact-driven, void of emotions. Online evokes feelings and has human touch.
3) Soundbites - TV does not have it, but online does.]]> 2018-01-26 02:01:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jameszhangexpo/yhiqa0ijowvt/wish/224917643 Fam's group https://padlet.com/jameszhangexpo/yhiqa0ijowvt/wish/224917653 Online news has more details, quotes and pictures. 

It tugs on the heartstrings.

Online news uses jargon and 'huge' words.

Online news is more on the ground, has firsthand account of the situation.

TV news follows inverted pyramid by placing the important information at the top.
