I decide to research state and local news for my topic because i think it has a broader variety of ideas to choose from. There's a lot of interesting and important things going on lately in today's world, and right around in our local area, so i think it's good to see whats happening. I also don't have to be stuck on just one topic, I can look up and search for a lot of different issues, and i get a selection to chose from that interests me.
When I first started looking for news and events, the website i went to was the Hartford Courant. I chose to look there because their always updating information with what the latest is, and it's also local. They have a lot of different articles on a lot, not just the boring stuff on just politics, or the war. I found a lot of news articles on people who are losing their jobs due to the economy, and how a lot of companies are struggling and how much the percentage is increasing. I found that to be interesting to me because i see my family members struggling now because of that crisis, so i understood better what their going through. It was also interesting to see how other people are dealing and how it's affecting their lives. I looked more on different websites such as CNN, and Newsweek, but i didn't really find anything of interest because that isn't so much local. I read a lot about just sad stories, and tragedies happening. There's scary things going on, mostly things that are affecting children and its really upsetting. I'm going to keep researching and gather more information.
