The News Wars

I don't think that people are less interested in the news but that sometimes the news can have information going out that doesn't really classify as news. I for one don't watch or read the news like I should. But since taking this class and going on CNN and Star Telegram everyday its crazy how much the news changes every minute. I can go on in the morning and look at something and by the afternoon it has completely changed and several new events have occurred. It does feel hard to keep up with the news. The news they are giving today people are hearing off all sorts of things going on in America and even places like Iraq and Afghanistan. People are very interested in those issues but sometimes the news will talk about well known people who are getting divorced or where spotted somewhere they shouldn't have been. Stuff like that I think is so irrelevant to actual issues that are going on in the world. I also get tired of seeing things like what new product works the best and what foods you shouldn't eat cause someone said they were bad. I think they go way over board with things like that in the news. Sometimes it seems like they just are trying to find things to talk about and that there really is no point to this news story. News is something people need in the world. without news we would all be wondering around having no idea what's going on. With a news paper I think the paper should have more color and brightness to it. The words are way to small. Usually when something stands out and it bright with pictures, people are more adapt to pick it up and read it. The front page would be catchy and informative with pictures and top story headlines posted on it. The paper to me has too many adds in it, I think they should limit how many adds they can have and the adds they they do have should be well put together and be places where most people would go like Target or Wal-mart. Overall the news does give us a ton of information and for the most part I am satisfied with how it is, but if there was ever a chance to change it those would be the ideas I would have to make it better.
