Anything that affects my life or changes the world I live in and know, is news worthy.  A new invention, the first man to time travel, the future King of England getting married, my country going to war, or even my favorite actress dying, should all-always be covered in the news and the media outlet.

…Otherwise I am ultimately left not knowing a thing…aren’t I, really?

From learning specific news stories and from alternate media outlets like twitter, facebook, online newspapers, and news broadcasts, I found that my perception of what is really going on can change or even get confused depending on the source I am using.  Every type of reporter has something different to offer, combined with an alternate and new perspective.  For instance on twitter, if I  search for a trending hashtag about a major occurrence in the world, I am going to get opinions and perspectives of people from both sides of the issue.

After this semester is over (along with my blog assignments) I will continue to get the news and information I need about what is happening in the word from watching the news on television, as well as from the several social media outlooks I use frequently throughout the day.  And if I don’t get my news there…my mom calling me and telling me about every interesting thing she hears, is also a useful tool to get some news.

You gotta love moms!
