What is the news? I think that it is anything significant happening in the world. This ranges from things like a new Dalai Lama, all of the way to a terrorist attack on the United States. That’s not all that there is in the news though. Famous people are news, as far as them making poor life choices, to them contributing to a noble cause quite generously. I look at news from an aspect similar to “beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.” News is so diverse that there is no real way to classify it within specific categories. After partaking in these weekly news blog posts, I think that my attainment of news will remain the same. Either through social media, my home page on Internet Explorer, and whatever I see on CNN or FOX while I am at work. However, what I absolutely love is the diversity amongst news outlets. Politics influence many news stations like CNN and FOX and it is always amusing to see the portrayal of the exact same news story on a different media station because they articulate very different points and use different arguments to justify their conclusions. It is especially entertaining when one news stations says it is highly likely that story A happened and the next station will say that story B probably happened. Ah well, life goes on. We’ll see where the news progresses from this point forward.
