Where Do I Go To Get The News?

To be completely honest I don't even try to look for news. I see my mom every morning reading the news paper and I can't remember the last time I even held one to actually read it. I use the newspaper for arts and crafts or to cover up the floor when I'm painting. It's sad to say but it's true. The older generation use to plan reading the newspaper into their daily routine. When I was younger I can remember when I would stay at my uncle's house and every morning when I would wake up and walk downstairs, he'd be at the table already, drinking his coffee and reading the newspaper. He would have piles and piles of newspapers on the dinning room table.

Nowadays, the younger generation can obtain their news by opening their twitter apps on their phone when they wake up in the morning.

Now I'm not saying that I'm not aware of what is going on in the world and our nation. I find out by my phone. Tweets, IG posts, Ads etc. That's how I find out the news. Local news I can find usually through my email or my mom, after she reads the newspaper that day. On my twitter account, I follow BBC news and FOX news accounts.

I love this because as something is happening, I can see the live tweets and updates that the news channel is posting. Instead of trying to find a TV or radio, I can just whip out my phone and open Twitter. Then, for my friends who don't follow any news accounts, I can retweet it and keep my followers updated. 

When I was younger, it was the daily routine for me and my mom to watch the FOX 5 news team every morning. I miss that routine. However, my schedule and her schedule doesn't allow that.
