After reviewing the way my classmates get the news, it is obvious that our most common source for news is the Internet. This not-so-shocking discovery makes sense because our generation spends so much time online already. Clicking over to a news website takes no time at all, so why not stay up to date on current events, it’s so accessible. Really though, kids our age have no excuse for not being informed on what’s happening in our nation and around the world.
Unfortunately, this is not always the case. I suppose because there are so many other distractions on the Web that our peers have more fun on sites other than informative ones. It’s great that everyone in this class reads the news, but how many of our peers outside this class do? I hope everyone does, but judging from personal experiences, I’m afraid I might be wrong
But why? Why don’t high school and college students regularly read online newspapers? Because they’re lazy? Because they’re too busy? Maybe it’s a combination of both? I don’t know, but it really doesn’t take that much time out of your day to read snippets of the daily paper.
And kudos to you if you’ve always read the paper and watched the news, I’m impressed.
