After I took the student journalists' news attitude survey I compared my results to other students. I put that news stories usually contain inaccuracies and distortions. I perfer to get my news through a combination of text and images. I generally think the goverment should do as little as possible to restrict what the news media publish. If the president was assassinated I would turn on the TV, then leave it on constantly to monitor the situation. I consider Katie Couric to be a journalist. In general, I think the news is biased in favor of niether. When I hear conflicting versions of a news story I will most likely believe the national TV news. I think most news stories today are sensationalized. I generally watch TV news several times a week. I read news online every single day. I occasionally will read the newspapers. A news reporter career seems like it would be important. If I was in the situation where a judge ordered me to reveal the name of a confidential source it would depend on the circumstances of the case to determine any actions. I perfer news that is as neutral and objective as possible. I could not go a day without reading any news. I think journalists do not do enough to challenge public figures and expose governmental problems. I can usually relate to most news stories I read,see and hear. I frequently take the time to read long stories that analyze issues in depth. Generally, I perfer to read news about serious issues and major events.
I felt like for the most part I was with the majority of other students but some were different. It is interesting to see how different other students view the news and what media outlets are most utilized.
