Web vs. TV

New York times web version was the better of the three because it had the best beginning, middle, and end. It had great shots and the beginning grabbed your attention by showing her tricks and then ease into the timeline of things. Starting with her first cleats and then her struggling with learning and then ending with her going to college and possibly playing professionally. The other web version was good but didn't have as mush potential as NY times did. The TV version was pitiful. It was one of the weirdest interviews with her dad in the garage with her dribbling in the back ground. It would of been much better if it was simply him on a couch. The web versions were more of a short documentary which let the stories be more in-depth. But  a news package needs to be short and to the point and that can be difficult with certain stories such as the life of teenager soccer free stylist. So it is up to the journalist to pick the most important angle of the story to air on TV.
