I think that telivision news is a great way to let people know what is happening in the world. You can see news on 7, 9, ten, sbs or abc. I used to think tv news was a big wast of television time, but now I watch it whenever I have time.
Radio news is a good way to listen to news when you can’t sit down and watch the television news. I don’t take much intrest in radio news because most of the time I don’t get things they talk about because they don’t have a picture to match it. I mostly take intrest in all the funny things the radio stations talk about.
Internet articals are great to read because if you missed something then you can just go to the internet to read the artical. But sometimes it takes a long time to load onto the website, so while you were sitting around waiting for the website to load up you could of just turned the radio or tv on. I don’t usually use the internet for news.
The leader is a great way to let the shire know what is happening and if you need a job. But somtimes I think it is a big waste of paper when it gets delivered to all the shire.
The other newspapers like the daily telegraph and the weekend papers are great when you need to know what is happening so you can just go up to your loacal newsagent and buy one or you can pay to get yours delivered. I don’t find anything bad about the other newspapers.
The weekly or monthly mags are sometimes a good thing to read when you are bord but I think the gossip about the celebs isn’t very good because it is an invasion of privacy, like Nicole Kidman she dosn’t want anybody to take pictures of her baby. I don’t enjoy reading the gossip that much.
The BTN news is a great show to let kids know what is happening, they explain the news so that little kids can understand what they are talking about. The only bad thing is that I think it dosn’t go for long enough, 5 mins isn’ a very long time for news. I enjoy watching the BTN news very much.

*NEWS REPORTS*
I enjoy news reports, they are interesting, informative and helpful.
Television news is good because it not only has information you can learn alot from but it usually has some video footage which really helps me understand more about the story.
Radio news is not my favourite news because it only has sound and people talking and has no pictures or video which makes it a bit boring and harder to stay interested.
The online articles are great because after you have read about something you can usually look up more information on that same story if you want to find out more.
The Leader is alright sometimes as it’s local news and you might read about someone or something you know but it does not have very much information and a bit too much advertising which makes me not want to read it and then I would go and read a different newspaper like the Daily Telegraph.
Other newspapers besides the Leader are good because they have more information and better pictures which makes you get really stuck into it and then when you have read it all you just want to read more.
I like weekly and monthly magazines because they have interesting news. They don’t just have boring news and they also usually have celebrity news and they are full of attractive colours and photos.
BTN news is really good because not only do they tell great news they also do little quiz questions and they always choose good topics to put on their show.
I like watching, listening or reading the news anytime I can.

I’m not a real news fan but if I had a choice my favourite one is Weekly or Monthly Magazines. These are my positives and negatives for the following News items.
Television News:
I don’t mind watching the news on television because you can also see other places in the world and the troubles they are having. I feel very lucky to be living in Australia. Sometimes I don’t get to watch the news as I also like to play and help Mum and Dad.
Radio News:
Radio News is over with a lot quicker than Television news. It is very helpful too as you can find out about road accidents and weather that could effect where you are travelling to.
Online Articles:
I like online articles because you can go into word and make the writing bigger so you can read it a lot better. It is also good because you get more of a detailed description on that news item. I get a better understanding of things that have happened on Online Articles
The Leader:
The leader is great because it has a lot of information on our local area and it is easy to read. One thing that I don’t like about a newspaper it is that it sometimes falls apart and I can’t get it back together again.
Other Newspapers:
Other newspapers are good also and you can buy newspapers for different topics for example Trading Post were you can buy and sell. Newspapers give you information on things that have happened overseas as well.
Weekly or Monthly Magazines:
I like these because I like going into the Amazing Kids section and reading about those wonderful kids. I also like this because the writing is in sections and it doesn’t fall apart.
B.T.N News:
I don’t mind watching B.T.N because it’s a lot better than Adult News. It is better because it doesn’t go on as long as the Adult News.
September 15th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
I like watching news on the tele because it has pictures which help to understand it better and it gets across to me well.
I don’t like radio news because it is boring and it doesn’t capture my attention.
I like online articles because I can choose a topic I want to read and I won’t have to read a boring article not like news on tele.
I don’t like the leader because I have to flip through many pages to get to the articles I like and most of them I don’t like any ways.
I don’t like other newspapers either because they’re all the same as the Leader and there are no newspapers for kids.
I like weekly mags because they allways have different articles and it has a variaty of different ones.
I like BTN news because it’s a news that has interesting articles that I can understand.
September 15th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Television News:
I really like TV news because it is very easy to take when you are watching it. I also
like to see what is going on around the world as well.
Radio News:
Radio news is okay I guess because instead of listening to the news very smoothly sometimes the radio gets all scrubby and all over the shop with sounds.
Online Articles:
I don’t really like online articles because instead of watching it on the TV you have to sit in front of the computer just reading it instead of listening to it. Online articles are more detailed but you get a more brief version on television news.
The Leader:
The Leader is one of my favourites as it gives you truck loads of information of local Shire News in a small amount of area and tells me how the local Sports Events are going. They have great pictures to go with it.
Other News papers
You can buy other news papers for specialised topics. For example my Dad is trying to buy a new car so he uses the Trading Post. A newspaper to buy and sell items. He also reads the Financial Review where he gets a good idea on the Share Market this is to confusing for me
Weekly Or Monthly Magazines:
I don’t like Women’s Day or Women’s Weekly in these magazines it seems to be all about Fashion and Celebrities. I do really like Sports Magazines like Inside Sport and Rugby League Magazines.
BTN News:
I don’t mind BTN News but it is almost exactly the same as Night time News but it is for younger viewers
September 15th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Television News- Television News is good. You can learn a lot from it and it shows you video pictures. I sometimes get bored though, when people are talking about political things.
Radio News- I don’t really like radio news because I usually don’t understand what the people are talking about. On the other hand, radio news can be good if you don’t have a TV or if you are in the car and you want to listen to something.
Online Articles- Online Articles are very useful if you have missed out on some news.You can also learn more about the article you are interested in.
The Leader- The Leader is good if you’re interested in local news. I don’t really like it much because there are a lot of things that I don’t understand in that newspaper.
Other Newspapers- Other newspapers are alright like the Daily Telegraph or the Sunday Telegraph. Other ones like Sports newspaprs are a bit boring.
Weekly or Monthly Magazines- They can be interesing and you can read them if you just want something to read. I don’t think much about Gossip magazines.
BTN News- I really injoy waching BTN news because it’s designed for the viewing of children. It gives you great information , but the show could be longer
September 15th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
News Headlines
Television news helps when it comes to headlines and top stories.
Radio news is basically about arguments and local problems.
Online articles are great for information and pictures.
The leader is good for the telling about upcoming events in the Sutherland Shire.
Other newspapers are good for headlines and gossip around Sydney.
Weekly magazines are good for gossip about celbrities.
BTN is only good for news at a kids point of view.
I have enjoyed doing all the comments on the Blog the past two months.

NEWS REPORTS – HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS!
Televison news is the best type of news reporting I like. Not only do you hear what is happening all around the world, but you get to see it too, all thanks to the video footage.
Radio news is an alternative to TV news, especially if you dont have access to a television. You can hear what is happening, but often then only broadcast Hedline News so you can miss out on lots of other news items.
Online articles take a long time to read and sometimes have “links”to other relative items. I don’t like to read the news on the internet because it takes too much time – when you can hear it, it is better, and sometimes they display yesterday’s news.
The Leader is a fantastic way to let residents of the Shire know what is happening in their suburb and other suburbs in the Shire. i like the Leader as it advertises local businesses and tells us more about where we live, not like the other papers or the news on TV.
Other papers – the Australian, The Daily Telegraph, The Sun Herald – tell us a broarder ranger of news than the local rag. It covers news all across Australia and around the world which can be both interesting and rather gruesome at times.
Magazine3s are not a favourite of mine or Mum’s (so we don’t see them much). Mum doesnt buy them because she says they are a waste of money and more often than not contain news we have already heard on the radio or TV and always promote celebrities (who sell their storeis for money) and not every day to day people.
BTN is an informative and fun programme that allows children to learn about current issues. It is good to watch because it keeps us up to day with the news, lets us have fun with the quizzes and also can help us with our homework and assignments.
September 16th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
~~News Reports~~
The television news is good because it tells all the latest news and it makes it easy to under.It has information which you can learn from and footage of what had happened in that topic.
The radio news is very helpful because it is very updated when someone
heres or sees some thing they can call in and tell everybody who’s listening what had happened.
Online Articles are good because you can pick and choose what news you want to read about instead of watching threw every thing and only after a couple you get to see what you want to watch.You can also look up many different sources of news like news paper web sites and television sites.
The Leader is good because it is our local news paper that comes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This news paper gives you news about thing happening in our area and often we reckognise people we know or get our own faces in the Leader.
Other news papers are good like the Daily telegraph,Sun Herald and the Sunday telegraph because all of those news papers have a more broader and wider expansion of news.
I don’t like magazines because all they talk about is how the celebrity just got drunk or the celebrity just did this.I think it’s just gossip.
I like BTN because it is made to explane it in a more younger way which makes it easy to under stand what they mean.

News Report
T.V News:
T.V news is great because it has pictures which describe the item shown and it shows breaking news instantly. The bad thing about T.V news is that there is no privacy it is straight on television for the world to hear and see.
Radio News:
The good thing about radio news is that it is (also like television) very instant and straight to you. The other good thing is that it is updated very regularly which helps you to know everything. I don’t think there is much bad stuff about radio news.
Online Articles:
The good thing about online news is that it is a easy way to access world news but the bad thing about it is that it is NOT uptated very often which therefore it is hard to catch up on the latest news.
Leader:
The good thing about the leader is that the stories are of local intrest sometimes even about people you know!!! The bad thing is that sometimes there is poor grammar or sentence structure in the article.
Other Newspapers:
The good thing about other newspapers is that it has lots of different sections like Sport,Houses,Lifestyle and lots of other things. The bad thing is that it can contain trashy news stories and don’t always tell the truth in what happened or was said.
Weekly or Monthly Magazines:
The good thing about weekly or monthly magazines is that there is lots of gossip about celebritys but the bad thing about them is that they cost money to buy but you could get a discount if you subscribe.
BTN News:
The good thing about BTN is that itis a easy to understand program for kids they also make it a bit better by throwing in some quizzes and polls.
The bad thing is that it is that we have to reports on it at school !!!
I think my favourite of these things would be magazines and T.V news.
September 16th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
My Ideas About News
TV News- TV news is one of my most prefered types of news. It reports on everything that is happening around the world. You can watch video clips about the stories as well as have the reporter explain the story as well.
Radio News – Radio News is good to listen to if you don’t have access to a television or if you are in the car. I don’t like it that much because I think it is very boring and doesn’t keep me interested at all.
Online articles – Online articles take a long time to read especially when they have links to other sites. They are also good in a way because they have more detail than TV news. They can also be more up to the minute as they can report on things as they happen.
Leader- The Leader is good for finding out lots of informaion. It is basically all about current local issues. It is a good way to keep in touch with your local area.
Other Newspapers – The articles usually have a lot of detail in them. I usually try and find the cartoons first as they are the most fun in the Sunday paper.
Magazines – I don’t take much interest in magazines like Woman’s Day, New idea and other gossip type magazines because they are a waste of time and money. The magazines I like are sporty mags because they report on sportsman and I am quite interested in reading about these people.
BTN – BTN is more appropriate for children than TV, online or radio news because it only reports on articles that are child friendly. Some of the articles I take a lot of interest in. It helps keep school children in touch with current child friendly issues.
September 16th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
I think television news is a great way of showing citizens major situations that are happening around the country and the world. It involves things like crimes, deadly weather, major health problems, situations containing important people.
I think Radio news is pretty good but its not the best way of sending news to people but good for people who are traveling in a vehicle or people who have not or lost connection to the TV. Its quite useless if you have seen the TV news.
I think online articles are handy if you have missed or forgotten to see the television news or newspaper. It can also be handy if you have to do homework on an article for information.
I think the leader is ok if you want to look at a couple of things going on around the place and handy if you want to do a topic on local news. I don’t really like the leader but I only really get it to see the sport.
I don’t know much about weekly or monthly magazines but don’t like them anyway. I don’t usually buy them because they don’t really tell you anything and my mum thinks that they are a waste of money.
I think other newspapers can be good but it all depends on what type of articles they express. Some newspapers are the The Sunday Herald and the daily telegraph. These papers mainly express more local situations.
BTN news is actually very interesting and it mainly expresses scientific news. It is quite a fun program and gives children a lot of education. It can also be fun for doing quiz’s but bad for projects.
September 17th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
TV news- ithink that Tv news isn’t the best way to spred information around the world. If you are doing project and you only can do it on TV if you don’t have enough time to write it all down then you miss out on important news.
Radio news- I also don’t think that radio news is the best way to do it ethier. If you always want to here that news then you have to know the time that it would be on and it sometimes doesn’t tell you all the information you want.
Online articles- I think online articals are a great way to spred news. They give you all the information that you need and more. They also give you more time to write down what you need to and there is more news than on the TV.
Leader- The leader is not the best way to spred news but it is better than some. It is not that good because it is not up to date. You can not just read it thinking it is the latest thin because it is somtimes not right.
Weekly or monthly magazines- I do not like weekly or monthly magazines because they do not tell you about anything good. They only tell you about the latest trens, whos hot whos not, Fameous people, gossip and lies.
Other newspapers- Other newspapers are okay but as I said last time they are not up to date. But there not as good as the leader.
BTN news- I like btn news because it is a fun thing for kids. But also as I said before it is a bit hard to take notes because it is so fast.
September 17th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
NEWS REPORTS
I like television news because it tells you information reports that you might not know. It has good footage and pictures. I understand this well and you can watch news reports on different channels such as channel 7, 9, 10 and more.
I don’t really like radio news because it’s pretty boring, doesn’t really catch my attention and it isn’t really clear when you are under shelter in a car. It also doesn’t have any photos or pictures and videos with it.
Internet articles are all right because it has pictures videos, links and more {it nearly has everything}. It tells you more about the thing you are interested in but some articles have way too much information.
The Leader is great for reading and getting a job. It tells lots of people numerous of information {mostly the latest} of what is happening in the local area. The down side is that it can fall out and too much advertisements.
Newspapers like the Sunday Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald is great. It has sections mainly telling stuff around the world. My favourite thing is finding the cartoons and games.
I am not really interested in weekly or monthly magazines. I don’t like the magazines that probably girls like but I like what boys would prefer like wheels magazines.
BTN is a great program for children because there are good stories and I understand it well. It makes it more fun by adding quizzes and polls. It could be longer.
My favourite is probably is TV news and BTN.
September 18th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
NEWS REPORTS
Television New:
I think television new is great because we can know what is happening around the world. There are TV channels such as 7,9,ten,sbs,abc and more..
Radio News:
I don’t like radio news because it doesn’t catch my attenion and it is pretty boring. They don’t really speak clear. They have no pictures or videos to go with it.Mostly they put on a new song.
Online Arcticles:
Online articles are really good because they have all the pictures,videos,links and pretty much anything. It gives you more information and you know every single word.
Leader:
The Leader is a great paper for getting jobs. But there are too many advertisments. It gives you information and has a picture to go with it.
Other Newspapers:
Other newspaper are pretty much as the same as the Leader but also has cartoons and games.
Weekly or Monthly Magazines:
I am not really interested in magazines such as New Idea, Women’s Day and other adult magazines. But I do like children magazines such as Little Angel, Total Girl, Disney Girl and Girl Power. They don’t really tell you news things but they tell you celebrity’s gossip and new cool toys.
BTN:
BTN is a great channel on ABC. It is probably mainly for kids because they give you quizes, online polls.They put in really interesting stories. It is a really easy to understand but I wish it could be longer.
I enjoy BTN and children magazines. They are really easy to understand.
September 18th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
I like watching the news on the television because it is convenient and there are pictures to help me understand.
I do not like the radio news because it is boring and we don’t even have a radio!
Online articles are pretty convenient for me because I like to spend time on the computer and you can choose an article specifically.
The leader is one thing I don’t like because the book it’s self is dirty and you have to flip through the pages for the articles.
Other newspapers aren’t what I like because you have to order them.
Weekly or monthly magazines aren’t that great but sometimes you may spot something interesting.
BTN news is my favourite because it is easy to understand because it is made for kids!
September 18th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
I think television news is a good way for showing people the most current news events. People can see exactly what is happening with events that are happening all over the world, twenty four hours a day.
Radio news is not my favorite way of reporting because you cannot visualize what is happening. It is also hard to take notes or remember what has just been said.
Online Articles are a convenient way of watching latest news. If you miss an episode of the news it is easy to see it at any time.
The Leader is a good way of being able to have it next to you and read it but also have a photo to help you describe it too. It is very convenient and easy.
If you use any news paper that is helpful too it can be easy for the person explaining it to the reader. The top new articles mostly have a picture to help you with understanding it better.
Weekly or monthly magazines have enough information to explain the whole story. All of the great information and interviews help too.
BTN news is not one of my favorites because it is hard to get on the right website or to watch it during the day.
September 18th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
NEWS REPORTS
TV News- I like TV news because it has pictures & videos to go with the information. It is really easy to understand because of this.
Radio News- I dislike radio news because it doesn’t capture my attention. It also doesn’t have any pictures or videos.
Online Articles- I like online articles because they have pictures & sometimes videos. I don’t really like it when you have to read it though.
The Leader- The Leader is great if you want to find out what’s going on in the local area. I usually only read the sport because it’s the only thing that interests me.
Other Newspapers- Other newspaper like the Sunday Telegraph and Sydney Morning Herald are better than the Leader because they have lots of news and different articles including cartoons & comics. They also cover news from around the world and not just Australia.
Magazines- I like magazines that have interesting stuff in it like the magazine I get every month (Dmag). I don’t like girl magazines but I like the boys ones better (of course).
BTN- I like BTN the most because it has information as well as stuff going on in the world and includes pictures and videos. I think that it is more suitable for children than adults.
I like BTN & TV News the most.
September 19th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Different types of news.
My favourite way to hear news is reading newspapers. These are some of the other ways to find out about the news and why or why not I like them.
Television news: I think television News is not as good a place to get news from. On the News the people that make the News program and decide what pictures and articles go on there can put pictures on there that make it seem worse than it really is. A good thing about television News is that it is very updated and it is very easy to absorb.
Radio News: Most Radio stations only have about five minutes of News every hour or sometimes less. It is not very good like this if it only has a bit every hour because it is very hard to fit a lot of news into one short segment every hour. It is also very hard for me to follow.
Online News: I think online News has its good and bad sides. One bad thing is that they can put as many videos and pictures as they want to make the issue seem worse than it is. A good thing is that it is always very updated. Another bad thing is that they can use as much space as they want it doesn’t matter how much they use.
The Leader: The Leader also has its good and bad sides. One thing I don’t like about the Leader is that it has heaps of really boring ads. Another thing that I don’t like about it is that it is mainly targeted at Real Estate. It also is not as updated as some other newspapers or online sites.
Other Newspapers: I like other Newspapers because I naturally enjoy interesting articles and reading. The Newspaper my parents normally buy is the Sydney Morning Herald. I like reading this newspaper because it is very interesting. A good thing is that it is very updated because they have a new one every day. Another thing is that they only have a limited space to put the article so they can’t add lots of pictures. They are also written in columns so it is easy to read.
Weekly or monthly Magazines: I am not really interested in Weekly or monthly magazines such as New Idea, Woman’s Weekly and Woman’s Day because they mainly magazines for Adults. I don’t like them because they have too much gossip and talk about celebrities. Other magazines that are targeted more at sport are more interesting for me to read like Alpha.
BTN news: BTN news is good because is it specifically targeted at school kids. I think it is quite interesting. I also like it because they add quizzes to make it more interesting.
September 19th, 2008 at 7:59 pm
I think television news is really good because I get what the articles are about. I used to think to think that television news was some silly program that adults watched.
I think that radio news is hard to understand because half the time I don’t even know what they’re really talking about. They don’t have a picture to describe what they’re talking about so I that means it makes it even harder to understand. I like the music on the radio not the news.
I think online articles are a good way to find out stuff that you missed on the news. It gives you a picture which makes me be able to understand it better.
I think the leader is ok but not that good only to people that have missed the news and don’t know about online articles. So I think that the leader is just a waste of paper really.
I think that other newspapers are good but like I said with the leader their just good for people that missed the news or don’t know about the online articles. But I don’t really have the opportunity to read other newspapers so I don’t know how good they are.
I think that the weekly and monthly magazines are good when I am bored. Most of the weekly and monthly magazines are just really stupid. But the weekly magazines in the newsagent that teach you some stuff.
I think that BTN news is a good way for people to find out stuff that aren’t on the news. Every Monday I watch BTN at school and I enjoy watching it alot.
September 20th, 2008 at 9:34 am
Television News: There’s lots of choice on TV. On Pay TV it’s on all day and it’s very up to date.
Radio News: Radio news is on all the time and it’s very up to date. You can take a radio wherever you go and still listen to the news.
Online Articles: You have access to the whole worlds news on online articles and you can read it whenever you want. The Internet costs money though and not everybody has the Internet.
The Leader: The Leader is delivered to your house for free. It only tells you the local news though and comes 2 times a week so it’s not very up to date.
Other Newspapers: Other newspapers are daily so that means they are up to date. The bad thing is, you have to pay money for these newspapers.
Weekly or Monthly Magazines: These Magazines are more gossip magazines. They all have the same articles and cost a lot of money.
BTN News: It’s a good source of info, but it’s not really news. Some episodes are interesting and some aren’t.
September 21st, 2008 at 4:17 pm
~ What do I like~
I enjoy tv programs and the news. I can be picky but here are some
Ratings for the following subjects:
Television news: I enjoy television news so I rated a most preferred.
It is one that I watch every night and one my whole family watches every night.
Radio news: I can relax to the radio and just listen instead of watching the news so it is one of my more preferred types of the news.
Online news: Online news is good if you’ve missed an episode of program it’s also good if you need pictures or transcripts. Online articles are one of my less preferred types of news.
The Leader: I do not like the Leader because it has not got very good articles in my opinion but some people may enjoy it. The Leader is my one and only least preferred.
Other papers: I enjoy papers such the Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph. These papers are a more preferred type news and I enjoy this type.
Weekly or Monthly Magazines: I enjoy monthly magazines such as Total girl and Grazia magazines. This group of news is a more preferred.
BTN news: I think BTN is okay. It is okay to watch once a week but to watch it more would not be my ideal week. This type of news in my words is rated a less preferred.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:17 pm
*** Different News Reports ***
I think that BTN is the best because it is targeted at a younger audience. It is a great way to learn about things because after a news story they ask you a question and then give you the answer, so you know more about it and it will stick in your mind.
The radio is available constantly and is good because it is not graphic or as confronting to young children. Sometimes it is better not seeing the graphic details as shown on television. (Particularly if it is violent or upsetting.)
Weekly or monthly magazines are great to read because they have a different slant on the news. They put more emphasis on celebrities and other interesting gossip. It is also relaxing and fun to read instead of reading confronting news articles all the time.
The leader is fantastic because most of the articles are locally based which gives you an insight of what is happening in our area. There are also a variety of different articles of news as well.
Online articles are kept up to date all the time, however it is more inconvenient to logon to a computer rather than turning your television or radio on. It maybe also unreliable.
Television news is sometimes very graphic and confronting for younger children. The news also reports about the world and global issues which is good for us to know about it.
My father reads the Sunday telegraph every week and this is the only newspaper that I have access to and occasionally read. There is a variety of sections ranging from the headlines, sports and travel sections. All these sections are very interesting.
September 21st, 2008 at 7:43 pm
TELEVISION NEWS: television news is very interesting but the reporters talk too fast and its hard to get the little bits of important stuff.
RADIO NEWS: radio news is good execpt when they only say a little bit of a story than play 10 songs before continuing with the story. sometimes your lucky and its on all the time.
ONLINE ARTICLES: online articles are absoulutly fabulous because you get to see all different news you’ve missed or other countries news at any time of the day. i like using this for homework.
THE LEADER: the leader delivered each week and isn’t real helpful for those who have missed a couple of weeks on the news. the leader is mainly just an old update
OTHER NEWSPAPERS: these newspapers are way up to date than the leader. they get delivered to the shop for people to buy them everyday. if you miss a day you can just go to the shop and buy one rather than going online.
WEEKLY MAGAZINES: Magazines are more about gossip on the celebrities than drama going on out in the world. most of them are articles that are the same.
BTN NEWS:btn is a good way to get information out top kids except its not proper news like on channel 7,9and 10.its just about saving polar bears.

News Reports
I think Online articles are the most effective way of getting news because if you miss anything on television news you can just go to a news website and it will be right there. Also it sometimes has even more detail then the tv news.
Television news is great way to gather news it always up to date. Sometimes though if I want to get information from it I think it is a bit of a hassle to get on the tv at the right time.
Radio news is a good way to gather news they tell you a lot about the story but you don’t really know what time the news is going to be on because a song might on or a talk show might be on.
Leader is a local paper so it only gives you mainly local news and not stuff from interstate or around the world.
The other newspapers like the Telegraph and the Herald give you news from close to home and overseas.
Weekly magazines I don’t really know much about but I’ve seen them in supermarkets and they just seem to be about celebrities and what they are up to.
BTN is good and really informative for children. I enjoy watching it as it makes it easy for children to follow what is going on and it hasn’t got any murdering stories and is very interesting.

T.V News:
I think T.V news is great because there are pictures and videos to go with it. Mum and Dad watch it all the time, this is what made me interested in it.
Raidio News:
Radio News not one of my favourites because you just listen to people talking instead of watching them which is much easier to understand as I would prefer it most.
Online Articles:
Online Articles can be unnecessary sometimes because some people might not have internet access or not have a computer. I dont use it much because i am not on the computer very often.
The Leader:
The Leader is quite boring to my family and is really just a waist of paper. There a a bit to much advertisements and not enough articles. It also should be more up to date.
Other Newspapers:
I like Other newspapers best because they sometimes come with free things and have comics and jokes that I like to read.
Weekly Magazines:
I like weekly magazines because unlike newspapers they are stapled together so the don’t fall apart. They also have thing in it that I am interested in.
BTN News:
I like BTN News because it is explained in a way that kids can understand it better. It also catches my interest because the topics that they use are very VERY interesting. (Except for some!)

NEWS REPORTS
TELEVISION NEWS: I think television news is good because it has a film clip to go with it. It is not always that good because the people reporting it sometimes speak a bit too fast.
RADIO NEWS: Radio news is good but hard to understand. It is also not that good because the noise in the background makes it not all that easy to understand.
ONLINE ARTICLES: Online articles are good because you can go on them anytime you like to find out what is going on in the world. It is also good because it is always there for you to see.
THE LEADER: The leader is good because it has a lot of information to read and has pictures to go with it. It is also good because you can keep them to remind you of stuff.
OTHER NEWSPAPERS: Other newspapers are good because they tell you a lot of different information. Each other newspapers are also set out a lot differently.
MAGAZINES: Magazines are good but they only really tell you about gossip. Some magazines are just information reports about what the magazine is about.
BTN NEWS: BTN news is good because it tells you about a lot of things. It is really easy to understand because it is mainly like a kids news channel. Things can be discusting or anything you can imagine.

I think that the television is the best resource for information because there are exculsives and pictures to make it easier to understand.
I don’t spend much time listening to the radio but i know that it gives good descriptive information on current events.
Newspapers help people get information like ads and story lines of events that happened a few says before and the information is not very accurate.
Magazines give you gossip on celebrities but some of the rumours and problems of the celebrities are twisted or changed into a different story.
