news

When first reading the article "Who needs Newspapers when you have Twitter?" I began to think just from the first question that the article may be long, but short at the same time if that makes any sense. I thought the article would be multiple questions (making it long), but short because the person receiving the interview wasn't sounding very cooperative. I had to stop and think whether I agreed or disagreed with the statement that media and news are terms of the last century and barriers of this century. I think to some degree that could be true, especially when you watch the news sometimes the news of who is Hollywood is getting married or breaking up overshadows who locally was injured or anything bad that happened to them. I would 100% agree with the fact that if the newspaper disappeared right now entirely, a majority of people wouldn't notice. I for sure wouldn't and I know we only receive the newspaper at our house unless they give it to us for free, if we have to pay for it my parents don't want it since they never read it. Going back to words of last century I think people that possibly died or whatever that haven't been with the world since the last century would also be lost in this century with all the short hand words and sayings that many people say today. I however disagree with him when he says the news on TV is not popular anymore just like newspapers. I like having the news on at 6 so I can in a half an hour catch up on everything locally and in the world without having to read through sections and sections of the paper. I would agree in the second article that running news stories on the radio doesn't make much sense because you don't get the pictures to the story like you would when you watch the news. I like to see the images that go along with the story instead of just hearing it. It also wouldn't make that much sense to show a radio report on TV because then you're just looking at a TV screen just listening and not looking at anything. I think news reporters should make their main focuses of communicating news to the TV and online. Most people that listen to the radio are wanting to hear music not news or talk radio.
