from 20/20 and The Boston Globe‚ I personally believe the 20/20 television piece to be more effective for a number of reasons. The main issue that I’ve noticed with visual news is the obvious time constraints that are put on various pieces throughout the broadcast‚ most often seen on local news stations.

On March 5‚ 1770 shots fired out through the city‚ leaving five dead‚ more wounded‚ and soldiers that were charged of murder. This was called the Boston Massacre a huge turning point in the colonies. Although most people thought the soldiers were guilty I think they aren’t. I will prove from the testimony and eyewitness accounts that the soldiers should not be charged with murder and they acted only in self-defense.

Boston Massacre Response After reading and analyzing‚ “The Boston Massacre Trails” I feel like the movie left out some parts of the trial that I found interesting in the article.
