Current Events
(Contemporary Affairs):the study
of everyday occurrences in modern society. They
often review and study newspapers, radios and tv
shows, blogs, social media and the speeches of
politicians, pundits, experts and others who analyze
society.
With the rise of
computers, the internet, social
media, blogging, podcasting and the
combining of national news and
networks along with the demising of
local newspapers, television and,
radio stations, many people in
cities and towns are not receiving
the necessary information they truly
need to make decisions and political
recommendations to local
governments, thus many areas that
need attention are either being
ignored or minimized. We must
reestablish, encourage and build new
ways to inform the local general
public. Governments (including
United States) need to reinstate the
funding for public broadcasting thus
reduce the influence of companies,
organizations and individuals who
want to manipulate the news.
David Kennedy "The
evolution of these short stories,
rather than actual journalism is
really a scourge. And headlines for
any articles with any significance
are often misleading - and make a
statement without having anything to
back that up."
