| Althouth
newspapers contain some information that's limited to local
interests and I like to turn to those pages, for the most part, I
prefer to get my news on TV and on my computer. The problem with the
printed news is that it takes so long to produce it that the stories
could have changed or more important news could have happened minutes
after the newspaper is delivered. So, I scan the local stories in the
papers when I get home from work, then I watch the international news
on TV at night for the most current information, and the following
morning I click on one of the websites that offer the most recent
updates of the lead stories. That way, I'm taking advantage of the best
aspects of all the news media and I stay current locally and
internationally. |
