Currently, the news I consume comes from a couple of
different sources. The New York Times,
has been a website that I visit regularly since it was introduced to me as a
requirement for WRIT 1122 throughout winter quarter. New York Times has proven to be a reference for daily news viewed
online by millions of people every month. I enjoy reading the New York Times because of the ease with
which I can browse stories ranging from US and world politics to technology and
science or even health and sports. This website allows for any reader to find
up-to-date information on any current event around the globe.
Per a suggestion from my Freshman Seminar professor, who
taught on the Arab-Israeli conflict, I have also gotten a magazine subscription
to The Economist. I appreciate news
coming from this source because the articles are relatively short and every
week I get a tangible, glossy packet of what is going on, both locally and
abroad. With many of the same sections as the New York Times, The Economist
also has a liberal bias to most of its stories.
I am happy to be able to read news and current events both
on the Internet as well as in print. However, the Internet; Google in
particular, is always supplemental to my education and news browsing. Both of
these news sources I have come to realize has a fairly liberal point of view,
this sway in the facts, figures, and knowledge does not hassle me because I
tend to align with those beliefs anyway. However, this realization does make me
realize that in order to get a more full view of issues and problems facing our
world today, I need to also view news material from a more conservative origin.
