Jessica makes a good point about how long it takes to watch the news. The little bits of information that the TV news provides could probably be said and done with in about ten minutes. The commercials are also annoying and waste more time. By looking the news up online, you can find all that you want to know and more in just a few minutes.
Jessica states that she admirers the reporters. It must be hard for them to report sad, terrible news and then switch to a happier note. They have to distance themselves from their stories. I remember a story from a few years back about a man who killed several young girls and buried them in his backyard. Before he was discovered, one reporter talked with him many times about the tragic event of which he claimed he was innocent. When he was convicted the reporter expressed that she was very upset because she had gotten so involved with the case. I am sure it was hard for her to be so connected with a story and then have to move on when it was over. Reporters have difficult roles to play within stories and must report without bias which can be hard.
