Lots of Influence

As reading about Paris Hilton, I've come to the conclusion that the media channels that normally should cover what is going on in the world, would rather stop the important news to tell the world that Anna Nicole Smith died(for example). I couldn't tell you how many hours they covered this. I know we see news on channels such as this, but when is it enough when it comes to celebrities, and what we see in the media that is suppose to be news.

Journalist are meant to report news that will inform us, but as quoted in the book, "Journalists figure they might as well profit and some stooped to hawking products. If you ever read articles that talk about the latest products, have you ever wonder what the journalists are getting out of that article, or is that even what they really want to do. Writing is so em powerful still today. One of my favorite journalist is Lisa Ling.

She was on the view for awhile, doing the talk show thing, but however she studied journalism and wanted to get information out there. She left the view to start her life of traveling and bring information back to the states. She is doing the updated version of journalism, which is documentaries. She covers everything from how other countries are living to our very own meth epic that is happening in the states.
So what should be shown on on the news channels? Its sad to say that the media covers bullshit and forgets to tell us what is happening in our neighborhoods. I would like to see more things that deal with real life than why Britney spears shaved her head.
