Maria Curiel, 20, a junior accounting major, utilizes her
laptop the most to access news. She looks through various national newspapers’
websites to read articles. When I asked her what she was mostly interested in
she said entertainment, news, business, and politics. I discovered she did not
read any print copies of newspapers and she finds the internet more accessible
than print. She does believe that news is often inaccurate and lacks adequate
content. Upon my findings it seems as though the younger generation reads more
online because the content is shorter and usually web news has interesting
multimedia attached to the article. Plus, it is easier to search through
various newspapers without the hassle of flipping back and forth through
papers. Most people seem to only be interested in news that relates to their
personal interests. If they feel as though it has no effect on their lives then
they will not bother to read it. Also, she mentioned how she turns to watch
national broadcast stations if she wants to learn more about the story instead
of another newspaper. She does not read the NTDaily and didn’t even know about
the school’s newspaper.
