Second Blogging Assignment: Posting about Important News
DO NOT comment on this post. Instead, write a new post.
Find 2 hard new stories from online news sources: local, national, or international. Provide links to the articles and in your post, explain why editors decided to report and publish them. For each story, answer the question: “Who cares and why?”
You can create a link by clicking on the part of the toolbar that says "Link." Copy and paste the web address there. Web addresses shouldn't appear in the body of the post.
A link to an article should appear like this: "How the Media Captured Charlottesville and Its Aftermath"
I agree with everything that Walter Williams wrote. I think nowadays people write stories based on their opinions and not on the truth. No one is willing to listen to another opinion because they are convinced what they believe is right, even if they don't have all the facts from the other sides. I think before making assumptions people should try and understand other opinions and get all the truthful facts. I think news is critical to society because it is a way to connect the world and a way for everyone to interact. It is good for people to have different opinions but I think like Walter said there should be an accuracy and fairness to the articles.
