Abstract

The “Serious News Broadcast" is a multimodal project that satirizes media coverage in the U.S, most notably referencing biased or propagandistic news outlets. The broadcast focuses on American political events from January 2026: Donald Trump’s capture of the Venezuelan president, ICE raids, and the U.S.’s attempt to obtain Greenland. These events were selected for being controversial, especially regarding their reframing by conservative news outlets; the news reporters are mediums of political critique and journalistic biases who often lack decorum in their reporting. The script’s development was inspired by satirical archetypes and works discussed in our course.
