NEWS SOURCE

Where do I get my news? News is such a broad term. I use my Facebook newsfeed to get news about friends and family. People post life events on Facebook. I found out that my cousin was pregnant with a boy through Facebook. I found out that my other cousin was engaged. I also learn about new information about the TV shows I watch and anything else I ‘subscribe’ to. I use E! to learn new information about celebrities. Like Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy and Michael Jackson’s death. Another source I like to use is Yahoo! It is my homepage and I use it frequently. Some of the ‘breaking news’ can be a bit silly but entertaining nonetheless. I get a lot of my information through word of mouth. After hearing about an event, like a school shooting, I Google it and find out more information. I do not listen to radio though many of my friends listen to NPR. I wish I had the desire to because I’m sure that it’s interesting. On the other hand, I do find out about some things that NPR broadcasts through my friends. Sometimes, very rarely though, I watch the local news. I often avoid the local news because it seems very depressing. There are rarely ‘positive’ news stories being broadcasted. People like drama, so the news gives them drama (for better ratings of course). I get the news about back home (O-H-I-O) through my mom and other family members. I believe I receive most of my information through people, whether a person posted a status, whether a person told me what happened, whether a person is announcing Michael Jackson has just died, or whether a person wrote a news article about pink slime. People are the main facilitators of news.
