2. Does the reporters use of language influence those watching the clips? In what ways?

3. How do the video images affect how we see ourselves and how we interact with others?

5. What recommendations would you provide: to media outlets regarding their reporting (if given the opportunity) regarding language, imagery, and influence on the public?
