Newspaper Log- Tuesday April 27th

In today's paper, I familiarized myself with a bunch of articles, just reading the first few lines of them to get the idea. One article I read like this was about how newspaper circulations have fallen 9% since last year. This just confirms my idea that print journalism is slowly dying. This makes me a little nervous since I'm planning on going into the journalism field and I can see that it is on the decline. Hopefully we can make up what we are losing in online journalism.

Another article I read was a first person story about how people are so much more comfortable on flights knowing that a nurse is on board. The woman speaking is a nurse and has given people injections on board and says that being able to help random people is extremely gratifying. I think it's pretty cool that she feels so great about her profession because she is able to help people whenever they need it, even 30,000 feet above ground.

The last article I read was titled, "We Have Met the Enemy and He Is Powerpoint." The article basically talks about how powerpoint isn't always beneficial, especially when explaining military tactics and ideas. Powerpoint can easily confuse watchers and some generals have even banned it. I personally, can understand how powerpoints can be confusing. Too many graphs, charts, and ways to clutter them. I think powerpoint is a good program, but shouldn't be used to explain difficult or complex topics.
