News & You

Truthfully, I don’t really read newspapers and only read it if I was at hospital or somewhere else when there’s nothing to do. As for news, I sometimes watch Al-Jazeera or CNN since my father prefer those two channels but he still likes to watch local news every night. I prefer reading online news rather than reading newspapers. They update it immediately unlike newspapers which you have to wait the day after that to read the news.

I usually rely on Twitters to know when there’s something happen. Usually my friends will tweet about the news and to further know about it, I will sometimes refer to the hashtags or just googled the news. But sometimes, I will read newspaper to furthering know about the news through different perspectives.  Since my father works for police under government, he sometimes will tell things that have not being publish to public yet. He usually handle securities, homicides and raid cases.

But the internet news can be false from time to time, it is important to me to gather the bit pieces from different sources and perspectives. Different people gives out variety of opinions about certain events and not all of them will agree at some points.

I can be ignorant sometimes to everything that happens around me. But I still feel that I need to know because it is going to effect to everybody and our future. It also keeps me from being easily influenced by others.
