Everyone has been talking about news, newspapers, and news from the Internet. I agree that news papers are becoming a thing of the past. The Internet is allowing breaking news to reach us instantly. It got me thinking about news on the Internet compared to the news on TV. It made me wonder what’s better, Fox news at 5pm or www.foxnews.com. Is watching the news on TV now becoming a thing of the past also? I think it surely is. When watching the news on TV you aren’t in control of what you are seeing and how long you are seeing it for. The Internet allows you to have to power to pick and search for what you are interested in. Then you can proceed to seek additional news and information about that same topic that may not had air time on TV. Many of these websites will keep older videos and information on a past topic. You can go on the Internet and search for something that you seen last week on TV. I think that you receive news a lot faster over the Internet. I know that TV channel do allow breaking news to interrupt programs by sometimes it may not be viewed as important enough or you may not be watching the TV directly at that point in time. Websites can post stories and information instantly. On the other hand there is something added to the news by having it be broad casted live and the host being in specific locations or venues at the time of reporting. It is more entertaining to watch the news on TV in that aspect. I looked at a few different news channel websites and was amazed at just the home pages and how much information and stories were listed on each one. I took the belleville school bus incident and searched it on fox news and you can see how along the side you can click on numerous other articles and videos on this incident.
