I found an article in the New York Times about the U.S. House of Representatives voting on a health bill. The news report is much different than the agenda, or procedings. The news report focuses on one main event at the meeting. It constructs a whole story about one of the more newsworthy events during the meeting. The agenda just went through and showed what all happened at the meeting and when. It said who brought things up and what actually happened.
The reporter chose to key in one one of the major events during the house meeting. The reporter chose the health bill because it was one of the only really newsworthy topics that was brought up during the meeting.
The reporter even releated this small event to larger healthcare news. Saying that its hard to get any new health related bills passed since Obama's healthcare plan.
