As an FYI the video claims to be 6 mins long but it's actually right around 2 mins. The fact check is the last screen.

News, Roger and I: An Old, but Not Forgotten Friendship

My relationship with the news.
http://blogs.setonhill.edu/MeganSeigh/2009/09/the_news_and_i_are_friends.html

When I think about my relationship with the news, I am not too sure there is much of one. I have definitely connected more with the news since being a part of this Newswriting course, but before this class, I did not care much for the news. I do not feel proud of this, but it is the truth. I never really watched the news or read the newspaper. I wrote for my highschool newspaper and was the sports editor, but I didn't take that too seriously. When I would watch the news, it was usually because my mom had it on the television, and I just decided to stay in that room she was in. Sometimes, when something really out of the ordinary or crazy was happening, I would independently watch the news. But, that was not out of my concern for what was going on outside of my little world, just a fix for some curiosity. Anytime I would pick up a newspaper, it was usually the City Paper but only to search for auditions for singing and acting. My parents subscribe to the Tribune Review so I would pick it up and bring it inside and maybe take a glance at it, but never actually read it. My grandparents subscribe to the Post Gazette so whenever I would be at their house, I would see my grandma reading through the entire newspaper. She really does read each part of the newspaper, but her favorite section is the comics. My aunt is always informed as to what is going on in the world and locally simply because she reads alot, and she subscribes to the New Yorker. My aunt and I are really close so sometimes when we get together, she will ask me about something that is going on, and if I don't know, she usually isn't too happy with me, but in a joking way, and then goes on to tell me about it. My mom's whole side of the family is very educated, and fairly liberal. They are all very opinionated and observant, which is helpful for me because I get to hear and see different viewpoints and learn from them. So, I would have to say that my relationship with news comes from my family. I pretty much am informed through them. Hopefully I will grow to like reading the newspaper and being accurately informed the way they are. However, I do believe that this Newswriting class is helping me to develop in that sense because it's interesting in that we critique the news and our assignments include watching or reading the news. Inevitably, I will become more informed and see the news in a different light.
