Speaker: Daniel Victor is a reporter for New York Times that is all about writing articles based upon breaking news. Based on the article he has written, his topics aren't as sincere as other fellow authors. He focuses more so on internet phenomenons rather than world wide issues.
Occassion: Based on articles such as the one that subjects a famous internet couple having their children taken away due to pranks and bad parenting, Victor could possibly be a fan of watching the series of YouTube videos where couples prank each other and their children as well.
Audience: Victor tends to appeal to an audience who tend to crave ironic or "silly" news. Referencing back to the pranking internet couple, a sense of irony was built since it was parents who couldn't handle themselves on the internet rather then children, which common individual would expect.
Purpose: Daniel Victor's purpose it to report his viewers with "breaking new" and throw in a couple of his own opinions while doing so.
Subject: Victor's subject tend to be a bit humorous rather than sincere. He demonstrates this in articles such as, "Michelle Obama Tweets Phone Number of Former White House Staff Member" and "Jesse Watters announces vacation after Ivanka Trump Comment."
Tone: Overall, Victor creates a humorous tone throughout his articles. He does so by putting certain facts in quotations, not in order to sight, but in order to judge them negatively or ridicule them.
