NY TIMES

            I have noticed while reading through the NY Times, I have only read articles that have immediately interested me.  As bad as that seems, it is an improvement from not reading the news at all. I have tendencies to focus more on the big named stories and skim through the small articles on the sides of the paper. In doing this I have missed plenty of articles and basically discriminated against the smaller, weirdly placed articles. Also, since I usually only read articles that look interesting, I miss out on the ones that do not pop out to me right away. I am missing out on crucial news events and if I’m not going to read them, how will I ever know what is going on? Facebook? This is going to have to change. Officially it is my promise to this blog!!

            Ever since I have beginning to focus more of my time reading the news and seeing what the world is up to, I have found myself involuntarily reading the news for fun without even knowing that I am doing so. I actually just realized this as I was reflecting on this post. I cannot seem to pin point any other changes due to the news but slowly, I am sure I will see some differences in my reading and reading. The only other change is that I have been enjoying reading more and that is always a positive.

            I still need to get out of my comfort zone of reading personal interest articles and sports articles and begin reading about the world’s problems.
