Response on Newspapers

Newspapers are a very interesting medium. It’s one of the earliest ones, so why do we still read them? There are several reasons I didn’t think about before Mr. Miller’s lecture, but the first one I thought about was the fact that it’s a tradition. Everyone has just always read them. There’s diverse content in them. There’s the sports section for dad, and even the comics for kids. Another thing I found interesting is that fact that it’s physical. A lot of people like to be able to hold it and take it with them.

I never knew there were so many parts of a newspaper! Not until Mr. Miller’s lecture on it. I knew the very basics, but nothing more. Some of the names make no sense at all, and that kind of bothers me, but they are all needed to make up the newspaper.
