My most popular source of news comes
from the television. I watch the NBC
Nightly News report almost everyday. I
also get my news from the Internet, through websites such as Yahoo and
Google. I am also alerted to some events
through social media or from what my friends or family tell me. Everyday I like to know the major news
stories from around the world, and local news stories do not interest me as
much. Updates in political news are
especially important to me, and I try to stay abreast of what is going on in
Washington because what occurs there affects all our lives in so many
ways. From what little I heard of my
classmates’ news habits, I was not very surprised at all. They, like me, seem to get their news from a
variety of sources and rarely from tangible newspapers anymore. I was surprised, however, that I was the only
one in class who did not previously have a Twitter account. A lot more people today are using Twitter to
broadcast the news instantaneously themselves, and it has been intriguing for
me to get a Twitter account and become part of this spontaneous, capricious news
source.
