Wall Street Journal

I liked reading the Wall Street Journal for class instead of having a textbook. I became more aware of what was currently going on in the world and learned about all different things that I wouldn't have reading a textbook. Since it comes out everyday the news was always up to date and was very useful in knowing about mass communications. I learned about Comcast not letting their channels be watched on Direct tv or the other networks and the chairman for the FCC is Julius Genachowski. Those are some things that probably wouldn't have been in an ordianry textbook. I loved the stories on the front cover that we had to read. My favorite story was the one about the hot dog stand in Chicago, Felony Franks. I'm not going to lie there were times where I just didn't feel like reading the paper but overall it was great actually reading about current events going on in mass communications then reading a textbook about the history of it. If I actually had the time to read the paper everyday and not let them pile up on my desk I would be very likely to renew my subscription. The Wall Street Journal was interesting and gave me a lot more interesting things to talk about with my family and friends. My mom was even surprised at some of the things I knew by just reading that paper everyday.
