The introduction for Pix News focuses on the empire state building, sky scarpers, yellows cabs, and a 42nd street sign. The background for the anchor’s setting looks like four windows but in reality is four screens with the illusion of being windows that shows the outside of the building, where you see yellow cabs driving and pedestrians crossing the streets. For other background settings throughout the news, its very neutral. There’s not too much detail or any obnoxious background image. The anchor of the show, Tamsen Fadel, is a woman who is 42 years old, yet looks 22. She is modernly dressed, her arms are exposed but there is no major distractions around her. Fadel’s makeup and hair isn’t obnoxiously annoying, but she does manage to look very attractive while not look promiscuous. Fadel’s tone of voice alters according to the news she is delivering.

Overall there really aren’t any sources because there is no need for any sources because there is no real news/facts to give out.
