Explanation:

1. News Media is specifically for delivering news. Mass media has a broader scope, social media is for social - networking and sharing, and entertainment media is for entertainment.
2. Development of negative views towards political leaders is not a positive effect. Increased awareness, civic action engagement, and debate opportunities are positive.
3. Sensationalism in media emphasizes exciting stories over accuracy. Factual reporting is the opposite, unbiased information delivery is not related, and promotion of civic engagement is a different concept.
4. Pathos in persuasive speeches appeals to emotions. Logos appeals to logic, ethos to credibility and authority.
5. Emotional appeals are a characteristic of effective persuasive speeches. Complex jargon can be off - putting, lack of personal anecdotes can make it less relatable, and strict formal language only may not be as engaging.
6. A call to action in persuasive speaking is a final prompt to encourage the audience to act. It's not a request for feedback, a summary, or an introduction of the speaker.
