final blog post

After this course, I now look at news more critically. I do not take everything at face value and I question the authority and expertise of each news source. I now realize that each news source directs different issues in different manners for each audience. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but now that I realize it, I am better able to understand the news. This also enhances the fact that it is very important to look up a story on multiple sites (blogs, news sources, etc.). By doing this, I am able to fully understand the story from differing points of view. I have also learned how to write for different audiences myself. This will certainly become useful outside of the college-sphere mainly because most of my writing in college is for one audience - professors.
