How To Read a News Story Critically

Reading a news story means stopping and asking questions.  Who is quoted? Why? What information is included and what information is excluded?  I came across the following in my Google News feed on December 26, 2019. I was appalled that ANY legitimate news organization would publish something like this.  I think it’s really irresponsible for a news organization to take a story like this and run it.  I could not believe how incomplete it was and why no “editor” or “news producer” flagged it for its obvious omissions.

12/26/19 (WIVB) — Coca-Cola is facing criticism for trying to convince teenagers and moms that its sugary drinks are healthy.

Researchers analyzed documents from two Coca-Cola ads.

They found Coke was mostly targeting the two groups to shift their attitudes.

A Coca Cola spokeman says the company is cutting sugar in products around the world and doesn’t market to kids under 12.

My observations & questions:
1. First sentence: criticism from who?
2. Second sentence: researchers, from where?  Why did they not identify them and their institution or publication where research was posted?  Why did they not give provide more specifics about the two Coca-Cola ads?
3. What evidence was provided by the researchers regarding “shift (in) their attitudes”?
4.  Fourth sentence:  Spokesman is not named, why?

A simple Google search, by me, using the keywords: (Coca Cola, moms, teens, study) found two news sources with more complete info:
