Oil in Ecuador

The first video gave a very straightforward display of events with equal representation from each side. It followed "The Murrow Standard" well, but was very broad. The 60 Minutes presentation didn't look into all the subject matter as deep as it could have, but is perfectly acceptable due to what kind of news presentation they were making. If they were doing a very detailed and specific show it would have been much too long for viewers.

The second video gave a very detailed and specific news presentation aimed at explaining what happened in Ecuador and discrediting some of the tension aimed at them. It was a very focused presentation and probably wouldn't be held up to "The Murrow Standard" all that well.

Overall the first video was broad but acceptable, and the second video was very focused not holding up to "The Murrow Standard."
