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!!!

I agree with what you said. As a college student I need to catch up with the news through the tv because we are always running from class to class and work to class and having the tv to watch the news is a great way to catch up.
I have to disagree. As a college student I often do not have to time to watch T.V. at the times the local new is on. The news generally airs early morning when I am sleeping, mid day when I am in class, or late night when I am studying or catching up on other things. Therefore I find internet news to be more convenient because it is there whenever I have a spare minute to see what’s going on. I also get frustrated when news programs leave breaking or important news until the end of the show because I often do not have time to watch the whole thing, another reason why I find online news more convenient. It gives me the news I want when I need it.
