I live for sites like CNN.com. CNN is one of the leading sources for getting the news at your fingertips at any time of the day. My Homepage is currently set to CNN.com. Besides the fact that CNN is where I want to hold my career in the future, it gives me the whole story of every story as well. Though I am hooked to my local news, I also love Headline news that not only affect people in my community, but the country as a whole.
Many know CNN as CNN, not Cable News Network. (Did you know that's what CNN stood for?) CNN was the first channel to provide news 24 hours a day back in 1980 and fifteen years later, created a website so news can be updated via the web. At first it was a trial, and today CNN has become one of the leading source for Headline news on the web, after msnbc.com and Yahoo!News. Yahoo!News has been around for quite some time and it seems like it's going nowhere. Several people uses Yahoo!News on a daily and feel like it is the best news around. There are those who swear by other news sources via the web.
Today, many people doesn't bother with having to watch the news on their television. Many turn to sites such as CNN.com to get their daily dosage of what's going on in the world. Many stay updated via the web on major stories that they find interesting, whether it be political or stock market, it's on sites such as CNN.com. There are CNN apps, a Facebook page for CNN, as well as a Twitter. The popular news site knew it was time to revamp their tech involvement to become one of the leading sources for news.
I have a friend of mine who is obsessed with stock markets and such. Any financial/economical news, he is on top of it all. He is always online searching for updates on the way our economy is improving or losing it's power grip. Honestly, he's my personal financial news source. He is a finance major and we were having small talk about issues that pertains to us (the younger generation) and how our future will be affected by the way the government is poorly taking care of the very little money we have. I asked him what's his source, he said to me "The NY Times, Baby" So I said "touche".
Everyone has their personal way of getting their news. Whether it be via the web on Yahoo!News or sites such as The New York Times. Everyone like what they like, and want what they want. It's kind of hard to imagine how the newspaper industry will be in a few years. Will it still be in existence? We shall see!
Let me know what's your favorite news site! CNN? msnbc? Yahoo!? Or do you stick to local?

It's true so many people just click online to get their news fix everyday. I know I have a New York Times app on my phones that I just go on very morning to see what's up in the world. When I go home though my mom always has the local news on so I get my TV news that way!
ReplyDeleteYeah, now that I'm here down south, I've been watching a lot of local news. The news in Tallahassee (compared to down here) is a bit (what's the word I'm looking for?) LAME so I NEVER watch it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting!
