WHAT KIND OF DAY HAS IT BEEN? A NEWSROOM STORY

Wednesday, December 17, 2014



Last Sunday I was able to watch the last episode of THE NEWSROOM which features Jeff Daniels (Dumb and Dumberer too) among others. The whole 3 season series covered topics such as the election period between Obama & Romney, Boston bombing, and even a fake story about "Genosha". But the appeal wasn't necessarily the news itself, but the idea of how things shifted over to an artificial network to a network that delivered true journalism.

Finding news that delivers truth is hard to come by considering networks' agenda of what they want to control. Unfortunately I can't listen to anything else, but NPR and other networks that do their best to inform the public what they need to know.

And maybe that's why I'm not part of current journalism today (even though my degree emphasizes Documentary/Photojournalism). I don't inform myself enough to follow what's going on in the world. I should be doing these kinds of things, but I'm just not interested. Shitty huh?
