Write a blog post about how and why you consume news.

Cover:
Pattern of consumption - do you (or anyone you know) buy newspapers? What news sites do you go to? Why these? What about ‘non-news’ sites?
Does the ‘objectivity’ of news matter to you?

Is news worth paying for?

I personally consume news on my phone; by downloading the news apps such as The daily mail and The Sun. Other ways that Iconsume news are by social media such as: snapchat and Instagram,these two social mediaplatforms really gives me a lot of news around the world such as: sports, celebrity news, new music, news from Europesuch as new cars or any attacks or incidents near my local area etc. I personallyhate newspapers so I don'tbuy them because Ireally hate holding a massive paper in front of my face and read it; it is annoying turning pages and it is not my kind of way of reading or discovering news. As Isaid before Idownload few news apps on my phone which updates me everyday about what is going on around the world as well as the uses of social media. I do not go to any non news site because I directly get news updates from either social media or my news apps.

I think objectivity matters to me because even tho the journalists might not like what they are posting, the readers or viewers might do, because of the different types of news comes with different types of audience. I thinks news is not worth paying because news is something that is distributed everywherein the world, we don't pay the news that is given in our tv channels so why should we pay for the news on paper? I have never brought newspapers in my life and I have probablyread them once or twice.
