I get my news from the internet. Msn.com is the home page of my Google Chrome browser. When I open the internet I am barraged by a picture reel of news stories which I can click on to read more about. Most of the time the web page I go to after clicking a picture has the story both in text and video. The videos are usually two to five minutes long and have less information than the text around it. The story in text is reported just like that of a newspaper. Stories that msn.com covers ranges from politics to Hollywood. Sometimes when I’m at home I’ll pick up the daily newspaper on my dining table if the cover story is interesting. Also, when I’m home I’ll watch the news on T.V when eating breakfast or lunch. I also watch the news around ten or eleven at night if I’m trying to go to sleep early. T.V stations that I watch include KIRO 4 News and BBC. I go to BBC if I I’m feeling like watching World News or politics. If I want to watch the news on local stories I’ll watch KIRO. KIRO is the local station in Seattle. Sometimes when I’m in the car I’ll listen to KIRO on the radio. My mom always used to listen to the Dori Monson Show on 97.3 KIRO FM. I sometimes catch myself listening to him when I’m in the car by myself. The guy behind the mic is pretty funny always has a respectable view and opinion on interesting subjects. Of all the sources I use for current events, I use the internet the most for news stories.
Interesting that you note the relationship between text and videos / images on the news sites you visit. I wonder how that might complicate some of the things that Hedges was writing about.
