Sorry for the delay, my computer is so backed up, please be patient while I upload all my posts. The thing is I write them and leave them as draft. The problem with that is that I end up loading them later than they presume to be written. Plus my windows media is still living and working like the 1990's. Once again I would like to make a public apology. Thank you for your sweet time.

So many times many question thereselves to see what they are doing is accurate. I for one realized that during the search for stories of my own, I questioned my ability. I couldnt find any original stories of my own. So i go to the source; Television. As I watch tv I see that many news today have the same news to show. Fox News, CNN, even local. All the stories that they cover are the same. But each journalists covers it differently, thats when I realized that its not me. So if I ever come across a story that I find interesting and so do others, I should still write about it because eventhough its the same, its seen by different eyes.

Reading and Writing is an easy task to do right?Im afraid multitasking is much simpler said rather than done. To all those who can multitask, teach me! I freak out and I focus my energy on other things. this only happens when I dont like what Im doing. If it isnt dancing, singing, writing, then I wont have any of it down. I need to remember it is multitasking that gets us through the day. I just hope this truama does not occur when I am writing. No that would be called procastination.

How would you feel if your Newspaper(local) shut down?

Many viewers say that it has no effect on themselves because they find the news everywhere now a days. A recent Poll has been brought to the attention of many of those who still buy a newspaper.
"With media coverage of newspaper company bankruptcy filings, threats to close papers, actual shut downs and continuing job cuts, the public is aware of the financial problems. More than half (53%) say they have heard “a lot” about the problems facing newspapers, while 31% say they have heard “a little.” Only 15% say they have heard nothing at all." Just a part of an article written by The Pew Research Center for the Local People and Press. 66% say their news is from the tv, 41% newspaper, 34% Radio, 31% Internet, online newspapers and online tv have less than 15%. What does that tell you? If our Newspaper shuts down, many local posts will just be found on the internet. And as varied as the internet is, how many viewers would really go on the internet just for the newspaper?

How to Watch TV News

Now, lately I would find this comment a fact, but on this particular day hearing this comment makes me believe its certainly fiction." Those who underestimate the knowledge that television is simply mindless is misconscrude and found guilty to their own self entertainment." This comment was written by a Proffesor in some kind of college who believed that what Neil Postman and Steve Powers novel, "How to watch tv News" only brings an opinionated fact. Now, today I learned that you can find knowledge from any resource as long as its accurate. With that being said, I would have to disagree with this quote/comment/opinion. I find many resourceful resources not only through the internet but mostly through the television screen. Some interesting facts that dont even apply to Journalism and yet I have knowledge of them for future reference. For this proffessor to say that I am being misconscruded is not applicable. I have always found television entertaining and fundamentally educational. Everyone has their ways to learn, mine is half of the time stuck in front of a tv box. So what? Its how I learn sometimes and I know Im not doing anything wrong.

Right now I can say I love myself, not in any Narcissitic way,just for the fact that I went out and found a story. Im going to keep it a suprise and its nothing spectacular. Its just local news. I havent really figured out how to put it, but its all coming together. So get ready for my first very own breaking news. Its local like I said so dont critique too harshly. Need I remind you that it is my very 1st narticle to write of my own. Like I was there and all.
