My News Choice

I feel watching the daily news or nightly news is just way more feasible for me and my lifestyle as a college student. Watching the local news station is convenient for me because I can tune in to things that I want to listen to or easily turn the station when I feel it' something that doesn't relate to me.

New York Times and BBC have too much of a complicated layout to me. Although News Week breaks down each different category depending on your interests I feel I don't really have the time to fish for information. The local news is usually to the point and updated with current information.Although one thing I do not like about local news is the way sometimes they will keep you waiting on a breaking story until the news is almost over. By that time I'm frustrated and ready to stop watching completely.

New York Times and BBC both have a lot more than what the local news offers. they have news on what's going on all over the world including if you want to archive and read about past events. I also like the way you can look up sports events, access weather, health, science, whatever you decide you want to read about. You don't have that option with news on television.

Reading national and local news is something I never really thought about doing unless I just happen to be on the Internet on my phone and I see a news heading that really catches my eye. Reading news more often like New York Times and BBC is something I definitely might start doing just be a little more informed on what's going on in the world around me. As much as I access the Internet a day I really need to catch up on ad least 5 minutes of daily news!!!

What's In Your News?

There are many different ways that people receive their daily news. New York Times and BBC are two of the many popular sources for receiving news. I prefer to watch my daily local news to receive information about current events and issues that effect my life. I like to watch my local news because it is a habit. I like the easy access of turning on the television versus going onto the Internet and searching for information.

I like to watch my local news however, New York Times and BBC offer more options to viewers. While observing the websites I had more control on what topics I wanted to read immediately versus waiting on the news anchor to talk about it. On New York Times website they have many categories that can relate to different people's interest. There were blogs about different topics. I also like that they had a list of the most popular topics because that helped me realize what topics were recognized the most. BBC had the option for viewers to listen to the news by audio.

Overall I believe that the New York Times and BBC are good sources to receive news. They have the current news topics on their front page. These sources are helpful for viewers who can not wait for their local news or they want to know about current events immediately.

Halloween Serves As a Great Advertising Vender

I have noticed that Halloween is not only a big holiday for children but for adults too! When I was younger I saw costumes that reflected just a few characters such as pumpkins, witches, ghosts, and clowns. There are more costume selections that are offered now. Adults have decided to join in on this holiday by having costume parties, and dressing in character on their jobs. Halloween has become a day of advertisements for many brands and celebrities. I saw several people dressed up as celebrities. Some people might have dressed as celebrities because they are fans, or they just wanted to poke fun. While others noticed different costumes, awareness and reinforcement of a particular person or a product was developed at that moment. So whether you thought about it or not you gave your character great publicity as you went out last night which was a great benefit for the various brands!!
