News and Media

The news is essentially unknown information’s that it’s communicated to the world but different sources and forms of media. News can be anything from who’s dating who in Hollywood to an earthquake in a different part of the world. One of the most popular forms of getting news theses days with high school and college students seems to be Facebook and Twitter. If you think about it where is the first place you hear about new, normally it’s from your friend’s statuses and tweets. This information may not be accurate but that when you go and good the situation to check the validity of it. Media can be anything from TV to radio to the Internet. The most popular one for our age bracket seems to be Internet. The problem with that is that on the Internet anyone can make up “news” and portray it as something that really happened. Sites like Twitter only help in the spreading of false new.
