How do you get news? How often? What do you read and view both online and offline? About how many hours a day or a week do you intentionally seek out news coverage? And one last question: when you think about news media and their coverage of race or gender or sexualities or disabilities, what are your own assumptions?
I've never had a blog before, so this is different for me.
I get my news through various sources. Mostly, I read the news online throughout the Day through yahoo, Google, or DallasNews. On the weekends I enjoy reading the paper and flipping through pages. I rarely have time for the during the school week. This summer I got a Nintendo Wii, and it lets you check the News on it. I've become a bit obsessed with that. I mostly cover my news in the mornings. I must average a good hour to an hour and a half searching the news. I also enjoy the usual girly magazines, so I spend time on entertainment news as well. I have so many countless assumptions of race, gender, sex, and disabilities in the media. It's endless. The way poverty, the middle east, women, men, children, the elderly, and so much more is seen in the media negatively is a huge part of today's world and perceptions. It's on going. I've very interested to delve deeper in class.
