Production Quality
1. Description of the feature: The announcer mentioned the place where the feature took place and from where the shipping cargos are exported. In addition to that, the feature states that this activity can be a result of Humanitarian aids from the Red Cross to the developed countries.
This feature is practicing the free speech as it shows what people do with the aids given to developed countries and how they used it as a trading means.
The using of certain expressions that are likely related to shipping and container business such as "Cargo, trailers, yard, etc" is a two edged weapon, because it may be a detailed descriptive feature for listeners who are specialized in this business and it can be difficult for those who aren't interested in this field.
The announcer discussed the issue from different point of views: Educational views as of Massachusetts university International Trade & Public Policy- people on the ship board who works in cars handling - American Chamber of Commerce.
The feature also describes the view of Public Policy considering Haiti as storage place for old plastics and cars; all about trashes from mattresses to cars.
2. Quality of the sound/ nat. sound: one of the ways of catching attention is to put a women voice who speaks quickly that let the listeners trying hardly to focus to understand the introduction of the audio.
In this audio, the nat. sound entered after the introduction to clarify what was the announcer saying plus forming the needed atmosphere for the story. As, for shipping, we heard a ship horn - for handling cars on board, we heard metal moving and containers closed.
3. Quality of the announcer's voice: The announcer voice is very clear. However, she is speaking very quickly - especially at the beginning - that make some of the listeners lose the introduction that makes the feature clear.
4. Length of the feature: The length of feature is okay as it shows many aspects and different point of views.
