How I Keep Informed

I usually get the news from the New York Times or yahoo on the internet. In the past, I was told that the New York Times was a reliable source by various teachers. After using the New York Times for many projects throughout elementary, middle, and high school, I became accustomed to using the New York Times for assignments. For example, I was mandated to search for articles on the New York Times for my economics class in high school. On the other hand, I like to go on yahoo to read some of the news highlights. I like using yahoo because the news is usually displayed on the home page on www.yahoo.com so it is convenient for me since I often check my yahoo email account. However, I my sources are not limited to these two.

When I have the time, I also like to watch the news on the television, listen to the radio, or read a newspaper. Learning the news via these sources are more time consuming for me because they are not accessed through the internet. In other words, I have to remove myself from the computer which I occupy myself with for the most part of a day to retrieve the news from these sources. Overall, watching the news on television is my least preferred source of finding out what is happening in the world because it is the most inconvenient due to the many interruptions to news broadcasts such as commercial breaks or prolongation to coverage breaking news.
