Where do I get my news? Well, a multitude of places, but mostly the Internet. When I’m at home I enjoy watching NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams almost everything night as my mom is cooking dinner. That is my favorite national newscast, I’m not sure why, I guess I just like how official it is and how professional Brian Williams is. Also, I will occasionally watch my local Fox newscast late at night just to stay current on thing happening in New England. From time to time I will read the Boston Globe, but what usually happens is my parents read it and then will find an article that they either force me to read or highly recommend it because they think I will find it interesting or they want me to have a clue on current events.
However, at college, so far away from home, I rarely find time to keep updated on local New England news. But I am definitely more versed now in national and political news than ever before. While I don’t have the time, or a TV to watch the nightly news, I do frequent sites such as the New York Times or my favorite, Yahoo! News. Here at school the Internet is my main source for news. Occasionally I will pick up a copy of the New York Times and read it in the morning if I have time.
The best though is when my mom sends me a card or a package and puts in cutouts from the Boston Globe with articles and pictures about my favorite sports teams, the Bruins and the Patriots. It reminds me of home and is old fashion way of staying in touch with my hometown. She actually just sent a box of brownies with an article about Tom Brady’s life in high school and college along with a nice picture and article of the Bruins at the White House. A perfect care package!
And one last thing I have to say is, GO PATS!
