‘TODAY’S TODAY

News. 1. The reporting of news, particularly pertaining to the doing of an individual, events, or things of general public interest, immediacy, or significance. newsdealer The amount of time normally taken for newsworthy events to develop, particularly due to news media coverage.

I read the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and many other daily newspapers and magazines. Each morning, when I look at my calendar, I see the same old thing: the same old listing, with datelines beginning and ending with the same words, and same phrases. And it has become just a way for me to see what is being reported; whether it is sports, politics, education, religion, entertainment, crime, health, and more. I have come to expect the same thing each day.

As a matter of fact, I actually took a course about the reporting of news because I was interested in how much of our society pays attention to it. It is amazing that the people who bring us sunshine and laughter and joy and happiness, are the very ones who take a lot of notice when a local story breaks about a new product, new movie, or any other event taking place around the world. In today’s multimedia world of mass communication, it is almost as if the public were glued to their TVs. With all of the technological gadgets, it is just as if they were glued to their news stands as well.

This has lead to a situation where the print media is slowly being left behind by the public’s constant dependence on their cell phone or handheld PDA for their news. Newspapers and magazines have not completely lost all of their market share. In fact, the internet has made their long news articles available right on the home page of their websites. For those that want to keep up with the latest stories, they can simply pull their favorite current feature out of their latest newsletter and get the news straight to their door. This is the real death of the print media, and newspapers have had enough.

If you want some proof that this is the future of news and information, just turn on your computer and start searching for stories online. You will find stories from all over the world, and all over the industry. All of these news reports are coming directly from the various companies and websites that you would never even think of searching for the news in the past.

I have never seen so much news coverage and information in my lifetime. It is truly an amazing thing. What will happen when all of this end? I honestly don’t know, but I am very interested in where all of this goes next. I have always maintained that one of my goals in life was to be a writer, but I feel that the internet is changing the way we experience news and information.
