Reading the New York Time this quarter for me has actually
been quite enjoyable. I never thought that I would actually enjoy reading the
news but it was a pleasant surprise that I did. Until it was assigned for this
class I never read or made the effort to look up news articles online.
I have been noticing mainly articles
that I can relate to. For example, lately there have been many articles on
skiing and ski racing. Just today I actually read an article about how racer
Lindsey Vonn just took a terrible spill and tore ligaments in her knee. Also, I
try to read about things in the political world. While I do not enjoy these
articles I do think it is important to know what is happening in it. Lastly I
tend to read articles that look interesting and exciting. Articles that you
would never hear about unless you were reading the New York Time like the article
about the Florida government allowing residents to hunt snakes because they are
over run by them. As long as the article is exciting and I can relate to it
will usually read that article.
By mainly reading articles that
relate to me I am missing a lot of the world news. Rarely, if even ever, have I
read an article about what is happening outside this country but I do want to
change that. I believe that it is important to stay up to date with current
world events as well as local ones. By reading the New York Times my daily
habits have not changed at all. I do not go out of my way to read the articles
but when I do, I enjoy reading them. Reading these articles has made be become
more aware and has created opinions on certain topics that I know nothing about
before. Basically for me, all the New York Times has done is made me more aware
of current events.
