Blog #2 - Response to rcha9998.blogspot.com

I was reading this particular blog entry written by Raymond, and I agree with the points that Raymond has raised.

News indeed are made readily available to us - it’s practically everywhere and news can be heard or seen almost throughout the day. It has been personally observed that morning TV and radio news programmes usually consists of half hourly news broadcasts, which is actually quite convenient for those who just happened to tune into their program and also update existing viewers and listeners on the latest news or progression of a certain case.

As Raymond has already stated in his blog, in this day and age, we are definitely constantly bombarded with a vast amount of news and current affairs. Even if you stop buying the daily paper or just happened to not listen to the radio for the day, you’ll always be able to rely on receiving the news via the internet. As a majority of the workplaces are connected to the internet, online news has served as a convenience for those who are interested in receiving news updates - sites like The Sydney Morning Herald even has a mailing list to email little snippets of news updates right to your inbox.

Online news aren’t just being displayed on newspaper and radio station owned anymore - it has proliferated to include been displayed on homepages of search engines and even internet service providers. I guess in the future, there won’t be much need for the traditional printed newspapers anymore, as people will become more wired in the future and everything will be based on the internet.
