The New York Times

I read the New York Times a couple times a week. It has yet to make it into my daily habit of checking the news and I think it is because I feel I have to check it more as homework rather than reading the news. My experience with the New York Times though has been a good one. I read mostly articles on current world or US events. With those though I rarely read political articles about the presidential candidates even though that is a lot of the news being reported recently. On top of world events, I read articles in the tech section. Many of these grab my attention because I am interested in new technology and articles explaining it. I know, because of my interests, I have missed a lot information about political candidates and the primaries going on and also a majority of the rioting, and movements happening in the middle east. There have been many large headline articles on these topics but I still chose to not even look over them. The New York Times has influenced my other reading habits because I do not visit it as often as other news sources and when I do I remember how selective I am in the news I read. Even though I realize this, I have yet to change my habits much on the news I read.  It also has showed me that even though it is just another news source, since it is “homework” I am less likely to visit it, which is surprising to me.
