I get my mews from either t.v. or the internet. Mainly t.v. since i dont have internet access at home and i just read the news on yahoo or any homepage that so happens to pop up on the computer i use at the time. Personally, i dont really watch the news because they always talk about the same things and topics. Its so commercial and uninteresting at times. Even though it is important to watch the news because you need to know whats going on in the world and thats when i go and have a seat on the couch when my parents are watching it. Since we are mexicans, we watch the spanish news on univision everyday when my parents are home and when they are out of town it might be my sister watching it on univision or on channel 4 or 5. I sometimes see the difference between the spanish and the english news channels because of the different type of audience they have. I dont really see the difference in the english channels themselves. The big difference i see in news is that it can either be sent through a televised program, on print like a newspaper, through the radio, and nowadays through the internet.

This morning i woke up listening to the radio. I listened it for several minutes switching stations every other song if i didn't like what was on at the time. During the time i had the radio on i heard many commercials that involved restaurants, cellular companies, tire shops, and even head shops advertising they're products.
After Breakfast i was heading to school on my bike and i saw a few billboard ads on the way, they're so annoying since its habit forming to turn around and look at them sometimes. Later, i was at the sac bookstore and heard the radio once more on the intercomm speakers. I also skimmed through a photography magazine briefly while in the line to pay. Uma Thurman was on the cover so it got my attention since i personally think she's a good actress but unfortunately i didnt get to see the article on her since the line was moving at a rather fast pace. However, i did see a few ads on there about photography, computer software, and some new "innovational" lenses that are made for better image and pixelation.
