WENHAM, MA-- When Dr. David Wick, a history professor at Gordon College, was interviewed about where he gets his news he stated, “I like to listen to the radio for the big headlines in the world. I then wait a few days for the stories to develop, and read Newsmagazines.”
Wick, however, is unlike a few of the other Gordon College community members. Aleah Tarnoviski, 19, a student at Gordon College was interviewed about where she gets her daily news. CNN and The Huffington Post are her two main news sources. Tarnoviski reads them “…because I can quickly get the top stories. I know I have to take everything with a grain of salt when reading The Huffington Post because they’re more prone to write negative articles about conservative groups.”
Tarnoviski says she gets all her news from online, and does not look for print or television news. Tatyana Parsons, 19, Junior at Gordon College also said that she gets her news online. Her top sites are BBC and The Moscow Times, “because they’re international, and I can get world news without censorship.”
Is it the difference of age that has these two students and professor of Gordon College accessing different news venues, or simply a preference? Other students interviewed have also stated that they get their news primarily from Internet sources. They said they like that they can have easy and fast access to what is happening in the U.S. and the World.
News is accessible in different forms of media, it is evident that there are different venues that people in the Gordon College community tend to use.
