I am going to be starting college in the fall, and I plan on majoring in journalism, most likely broadcast journalism. Because of this, I’ve been starting to watch news shows on TV more and more, to get a feel for the kind of reporting they do. In a normal news broadcast, they cover a ton of wide-ranging stories, but because of the limited amount of time, they barely delve into the issues, they mainly just give headlines and a few words of information before moving on to the next topic. A major news story may be allowed 5 minutes of air time, but not much more. If you just want the basic idea of what’s going on in the world, this kind of reporting would suffice, but it is not detailed enough to give anyone a good grasp on the issues.

Since hardly anyone reads newspapers anymore, even the ones online, it seems like there’s a serious lack of information being passed along to the general public.

Yeah, it's Anchorman...

Does anyone on here stay up to date with current events? If so, what forms of media do you usually get the information from?
