The news stories I look forward to following on national, state, and local levels are news in regards to theatre and about my local communities of Appleton and Whitewater.\u00a0 I have always been a theatre lover my entire life and I love to learn about new developments in the theatre, and I also think it is important to keep up-to-date on issues that are impacting people who are close to me.<\/p>\n
When looking for news happening in Appleton, I usually visit Action 2 News (WBAY) to learn about what is going on.\u00a0 I like this website because it is straightforward and easy to look at.\u00a0 In Whitewater, I usually turn to the Daily Union for the same reason.\u00a0 However, when I am looking to find more about one story in particular, I usually do a simple Google Search to see multiple different versions of a story and to get multiple sides of the issue.<\/p>\n
When I read a story online, I usually like to watch the video first to get a broad overview of what is happening.\u00a0 Then, I go to the text and read more in-depth to look for more specific details.\u00a0 Sometimes I like to scroll through the pictures depending on the story.\u00a0 For example, the story about Jayme Closs was one where I found I wanted to familiarize myself with the images.<\/p>\n
Overall, my favorite way to get news is by watching the videos.\u00a0 To me, it is more captivating to listen to somebody tell a story then just to read it.\u00a0 Also, sometimes the broadcasters will input their own ideas and I like to hear that.<\/p>\n
Sometimes I find my news via Facebook.\u00a0 When I do, occasionally I will interact by tagging somebody I know in the comments if I know the story is something that they would be interested in.\u00a0 I follow a lot of liberal news pages, so I get my news from many feminist, LGBT, and race oriented pages.\u00a0 I do not use twitter, but I can imagine that if I did I would get very similar news stories to the ones I already get on Facebook.<\/p>\n
I have a friend whose mom has a blog called Another Slice <\/em>that I read from time to time.\u00a0 She posts a lot of good stories about her family and about our hometown or Appleton that are very interesting to read.<\/p>\n I have never submitted content to a news organization or e-mailed a reporter about their story.\u00a0 However, as I progress in journalism I think this would be something for me to start getting in to. It would be a good way for me to get my feet wet before diving completely in.<\/p>\n When trying to access if the news I read is accurate, I like to make sure it is from a common source like CNN, BBC, etc.\u00a0 I also look for typos and grammar mistakes, because if they were careless in that regard, they were also probably careless about fact-checking.<\/p>\n In conclusion, the stories that interest me the most revolve around theatre, Appleton, and Whitewater.\u00a0 I like to watch the news stories, but I also think it\u2019s important to read about them to get the finer details.\u00a0 For my next steps, I think I need to get more involved in responding to news stories and taking it to the next level.\u00a0 This will be something for me to work on this semester and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The news stories I look forward to following on national, state, and local levels are news in regards to theatre and about my local communities of Appleton and Whitewater.\u00a0 I have always been a theatre lover my entire life and I love to learn about new developments in the theatre, and I also think it Read more about Exercise 1<\/span>[…]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7508,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/j347rachelcharniak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/j347rachelcharniak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/j347rachelcharniak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/j347rachelcharniak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7508"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/j347rachelcharniak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/j347rachelcharniak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/j347rachelcharniak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13\/revisions\/14"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/j347rachelcharniak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/j347rachelcharniak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/j347rachelcharniak\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
