I don’t like watching the news because I don’t like to listen about all the terrible things that are going on in Missouri and in our nearby community. It seems that the first segment of the local news is always about robberies, kidnappings, murders, rapes, etc. The first 10 minutes of the news is always so negative and disturbing that it makes me wonder why in the world I’m even watching it to begin with.
However, I think a lot of people choose to follow the news on the internet because the internet allows for you to choose which specific news story you want to watch, without having to wait and sit through an entire news segment on television just to hear a specific story. Another thing about being able to view the news on the internet is that you don’t have to drag around an entire news paper everywhere you go, rather people can just use the browser on their phone, desktop, or laptop to get the news they need.
One down side of watching the news on television is that a news story is covered in only 2 to 3 minutes. Because local news stations only have a 30 minute segment to complete their show, they only have so much time to spend on each story. Not only does the news we see on television tell us to go online to learn more about a particular story, it actually offers us a tremendous amount of more information such as interviews, blogs, videos, and links to other things as they may relate to a specific story.
