Sources of news- Where I get mine from

There are many different online magazines, news sites, and newspapers that can give me all the information of any type of news I want to know around the world, country, or in my community. However, as technology progresses there are many other websites where you can get your news from like, Twitter, Myspace, Facebook and search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. Twitter,Facebook and Myspace all spread news by following or adding companies, people, or groups.You can also get news from listening to the radio, watching t.v, and having a newspaper and magazine in hand. Even though it is getting easier for us to access news quickly I still like  having the choice of tuning into t.v and having a newspaper or magazine in hand. This allows you to have the full story with all the details in your hand with pictures along with it.

I personally like reading the newspaper instead of listening to the radio , reading a magazine , and watching the news because it gives you in depth information and details along with pictures and many other different or related articles. The first sentence few sentences of the article sum up what they story is about, what happened, where it happened, how it happened and so on. So this way you will not have to read the whole story to find out what happened. However, if you were to watch the news you have to sit through the whole broadcast waiting for the one story you wanted to hear and you sometimes end up sitting through the whole broadcast and hear the one story you wanted to. But, they only may end up giving minimal information because they may not have time.

Another great thing about the newspaper is that if you can not tune into the t.v or cant buy the magazine you want everyday you can get a subscription from any newspaper company you would like. You would get the newspaper delivered to your house every morning and have it in time for you to leave to work or have it in time for when you come back from work. The subscriptions for the newspaper are considered cheap compared to buying a newspaper everyday or buying a magazine everyday because you get a deal. Most newspaper companies charge anywhere from between 15-20 for a month too 200-220 for a year. This is cheaper than buying one everyday because if a newspaper is a dollar you would be spending 365 dollars a year where if you have subscription you could spend from 200-220 dollars.

Today , whatever way you try to get your daily news you will end up paying money. Getting your news from the television will cost you either for cable or any kind of satellite, getting your news from a website will also cost you money because in order to go on the website you need to have internet. Having a magazine or newspaper subscription will also cost you daily, weekly, monthly or yearly. What I'm trying to say is that no matter how you try to get your daily news you will always have to pay money even though the news should be free to everyone. The point that I'm trying to raise here is that getting your news shouldn't take so much money, you are citizens of this country, and residents of this city you should have a right to know whats happening in the city, country and province for free.
