As someone who is constantly on the go it is difficult to find time to catch up on current events. Luckily, with the amount of time I spend on the road between school, work, and home, the radio is available as my main source of news. Granted, most of the stations I listen to are filled with celebrity news and pop culture updates, when they feature actual news, the story is worthwhile and to the point.
Another main form of my news gathering includes the conversations my friends and I have. If one of us hears an interesting scoop about current or pop culture news we share and pick it apart until every fine detail has been discussed. You would be surprised about how your personal view of a topic can change by looking at it the way your friends interpret it. Of course, if all else fails, my mother would certainly never allow me to be left in the dark about top story news. If she believes for one second that I may not have heard about the story yet, she is sure to inform me.
The only time I will really sit down and read any part of the paper is on Sundays, this just happens to be the day when the Courier Journal is the fullest, making it worthwhile to look at. When I do this it is normally just skimming headlines, leads, and pictures with captions until something interesting comes up. Most of the news is either related to sports or local news; seeing as most international news has already been spread and I know the gist of the situation.
