Newspapers

This week I would like you to read an online edition of a newspaper and hard copy of a newspaper.

1.  After reading through each section tell us what aspects you liked of each and what you didn't like as much.

2. Which format are you more likely to use? Why?

3. Do you currently read a newspaper (hard copy or online) on a regular basis?  Why or why not?

4. Did you grow up in a household where your parents read the paper on a regular basis?

5. Do you prefer reading an in depth report (like you might find in a newspaper) or watching a shorter version of the story (like you might find on a local newscast)?
