Internet Makes a Differance (#6)

Using the internet, people have been able to become informed about what is going on in the world much easier than before. Facebook and Twitter has a big influence when it comes to different elections. By using the internet, people are able to get things out into the world that may have an effect on the way people see things. Using blogs, people are able to talk about their views on things that are happening in the world. As more people start to learn how to use things such as Facebook and Google, they are finding out that they can get their news on their computers. My parents now do not get a news paper, they just read the news on the internet. They like it because they do not have to pay for it, it is easy to use and it is a "green" way to get their news.

U.S. Military Censoring News (#3)

I think that the Government and the Military should not censor the material that is being put out in the new and in the media. I think that if they censor what is being shown, the people are not getting the full story about what is happening. They may be trying to protect people by not putting inappropriate images into the news, but at the same time, they are not letting people see what is really happening and how bad things really are.

New York Times Online (#2)

New York Times keeps a very good online newspaper. That is how I stay updated with the news. I am able to get the latest news sent to me via email. I think that all of their articles have a lot of information, so I am able to be fully aware of what is going on in the world. The web site is also really easy to navigate. I can narrow the news I want to read about down to where I live, or I can narrow it down to a specific subject.

Fox News Alert (#1)

I like this Fox News clip for a few reasons. We all have seen videos about the tsunami and earthquake that happened in Japan. I like that Fox shows us how the tsunami is effecting the west coast. It helps inform people about how even though the natural disaster happened on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, we should still be aware of it because it is effecting us also.
