What Is News?
What is news? When I think of news, I think of the harsh, but sugar-coated, realities that our local news stations grant us, along with the overplayed and overused footage that CNN plays on a loop all day. But really, that's not what news is. Or, rather, not what it should be. News is when we open up our laptops or unlock our phones and listen to NPR, or go on Yahoo and read the headlines. News isn't sugar-coated and it's not for the faint of heart. It's is not what the Kardashians are doing this week, or what kids are looking at on their phones. News is the cold, hard facts. It's waking up in the morning and finding out what's going on in the world, and what's going on in your neighborhood. I don't care about Miley Cyrus' wardrobe malfunction, I care if there's a sex offender living down the street.

Excited to see how you write this at the end of the semester. Remember -- more specific, more insightful, more eloquent. I know you are capable of all these things.
