People perfect the news

Days of mindlessly reading the newspaper without really concentrating on the material is long gone. Back in the day a news consumer just read what was offered to them and took it for face value. No deep thinking was involved because the reader had no way to share their own thoughts or experiences without maybe writing a letter to the editor. Welcome to the new age of news and news consumption. The rise of online news sources has provided news consumers new ways to add the the news. Most news sites have discussion boards at the end of stories where users can post comments. Some news sites allow users to add multimedia content. I believe that is great. Sometimes reporters do not get the best video. A random guy on the street may catch the best video. The more people get involved the better the news becomes. Besides no one is reading the newspaper anyway.
