One of the re...Thanks for seeing a bit of my point. One of the reasons I made the comment about the New York Times which I didn't really clarify in my post on MediaShift was that the previous classes I took at NYU all required me to bring the paper and then we would never really touch them. We just had a short discussion on current events during the first 10 minutes and that was it.<BR/><BR/>1)You could tell that what people knew about the news didn't necessarily come from the NYTimes. Maybe they saw it on the news that morning or read it somewhere else -- like the Washington Post.<BR/><BR/>2)At the end of the class, as everyone filed out... everyone just trashed their hardly-read newspapers. I just thought "wow, so much paper."<BR/><BR/>So... the one thing that I think people misunderstood about my MediaShift post was that I didn't like the NYTimes. That isn't the case at all. I really like the NYTimes. I just wish I could read it a different way, that's all.<BR/><BR/>:)Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369146894885377724noreply@blogger.com
