1) Coping with Imaginary/Mythical Events

Conduct an on-site live reportage on the day of Odysseus’ return to Ithaca.

Ladies and gentlemen, today April 16, 1178 B.C we are in Ithaca’s port where we
anxiously waiting the return of odysseys back home. The long journey that carried the
fearless king of Ithaca back home after the Trojan War will be legendary. The almost
10 year’s journey that carries him back to his wife Penelope is not only full of
dangers, but also full of temptations. Everything on his home island, Ithaca, is
terrible. Everyone assumes that Odysseus is dead, except for his wife, Penelope, and
his son, Telemachus. Since everyone assumed Odysseus was dead, many men came to
marry Penelope; however, she said that she will not remarry until she knows for
certain that her beloved husband is indeed dead. The suitors would not leave the estate
of Odysseus until Penelope marries one of them. No one knows that odysseys will be
back home today, except us. In few minutes you will have the opportunity to see from
our channel the reaction of odysseys when he realises what is going on.

2) Coping with Historical Events

Announce to your readers the discovery of the DNA structure on February 28, 1953.

Today, on February 28, 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the
twisted-ladder structure of deoxyribonucleic acid. The discovery of the double helix,
or commonly DNA, is a milestone in the history of science and will give rise to
modern molecular biology.
James Watson is a biologist from Indiana University, and Francis Crick, is a
physicist. They are working at the Cavendish Lab in Cambridge, England on the
structure of DNA. Watson and Crick pursued model building, using balls and sticks.
Their first model was a triple helix with the bases pointed outward. However,
chemically it wouldn't hold itself together, thus they knew it was incorrect.
Together they model the structure of DNA as a 2 chain helical, with antiparallel
properties and the bases facing inward paired to hold the molecule together.
According to their findings, DNA replicated itself by separating into individual
strands, each of which became the template for a new double helix.
3) Coping with Imaginary/Mythological Events:
Conduct an on-site live reportage of a UFO landing on Cape Canaveral.

Hello ladies and gentlemen, we are here today in Cape Canaveral that is a headland in
Brevard County, Florida, United States. We have been informed that in any minute
we will have the opportunity to see for the first time in history the arrival of a flying
disc. As you can see there are no citizens here except the American army and TV
channels. The army informed as that they can see the UFO in the sky and in about 10
minutes we will have also the opportunity to see them. As I am infirmed right now we
can have live image from the camera but not clear. Please stay with us to see one of
the most amazing moments in the history of humanity.
