With so many new ways to stay connected, many students opt for online articles over physically opening a newspaper. In this digital age why not just use the quickest medium to get your news: the internet.
Facebook and twitter updates can often link directly to news stories online. This provides access and links to tidbits of information for only things you want to learn about. The news culture seems to be turning into a pick and choose exercise.
These types of social media are attractive because they feed into human curiosity to learn more. Additionally, it is appealing because you can receive instant updates of what is happening in real time.
