http://people-press.org/report/?pageid=1352Today we practice skills like reading, listening and taking notes. The lecture topic we've listen today in class was "News media: how people get news"
The main idea in this lecture was that we are witness of a significant change in the way people get their news. Among our generation, the high-tech age, the Internet represent the most important source of information. A research conducted in 2000 showed that the majority of interviewees are mainly informed by the newspaper. The same research conducted in 2003 found that only about a half of respondents sustain the popularity of newspaper. Comparing these results, we can inferring the significant decline of its popularity.
Others recent studies suggest that the current trend to get news in nowadays is the Internet. This medium is preferred to the newspaper because it represent the interactive fastest way to accede to a current and complete information. On the other hand the reader can control the type of news he want to get.
However, some researchers expresses their concern regarding this opportunity of choice. Limiting the different kinds of news that people can get, function of their interest, may have a bad influence in people decisions in the life day. Readers could miss important information that they should know about. Contrary to the newspaper, where the significant news are highlighted by a large Font and photos,the Internet offer a list of topics and the user may not know which one is important.
