The Importance Of The Internet In The New York Times

Great Essays
The absolute beauty of the Internet is the power it has to report on new findings almost instantly. What is even more incredible, is how the Internet allows old versions of news to stay current, for example, the newspaper. The New York Times does a fine job of allowing all different types of articles to be printed, especially since their motto is, “All the News That’s Fit to Print.” The New York Times has such great diversity through the fact that the paper will print articles about Business, Theater, Real Estate and even Golf. This paper has no limits when it comes to reporting about any and all information. Just like a normal paper, the New York Times will report on subjects like Business. Strangely enough the New York Times finds way to …show more content…
Most of the time when one thinks of theatre, they think about the stage and the lights. More often than not, this is what theatre is. Until now, theatre is mostly actors, but the New York Times finds a way to add in puppets to the mix of theatre. Further into discover about puppets in stage plays, this article finds a way to interest theatre admirers and horror film ideals all together. In one play that the New York Times reported on there are two characters described as, “One is a shy and slightly repressed teenager named Jason. The other is Jason’s sock puppet, Tyrone, an ‘Elmo-y’ figure (as described in the script) who may be possessed by the Devil. He spouts profanities, terrorizes Jason’s churchgoing friends and mother and grows more demonic as the play goes on” (qdt Diep Tran). The average horror film lover would potentially enjoy a stage play about a possible possessed puppet. Who knew? Since the New York Times was able to print an article that would show interest to normally just one type of person, the article decided to reach out and find another interest group. The additional group would be everyone who enjoys being terrified. Once again, in the beginning of one article, the New York Times was able to catch the attention of multiple groups. Since this paper has to power to print any type of article it wants, the New York Times chooses to print an article that interesting to not one group, but two …show more content…
The idea of team creates an amazing connection and way to bond over certain subjects. The New York Times will report on any sport even those that might not have as big a viewing as others. For example, the New York Times writes about Golf, but not the traditionally play outside on large fields and also not the tradition team and unit. Instead the New York Times reports about Hipsters and how they should be playing Golf. A man named Mr. Teodosio decided to build a virtual way to learn golf while not going outdoors, his reasoning was simple, “‘I kind of want the hipsters to start playing golf,’” said Mr. Teodosio, whose new indoor golf range is just over the Brooklyn border, in Ridgewood, Queens, and is aimed at serving those who live in gentrifying neighborhoods along the L train in Brooklyn” (qdt Corey Kilgannon). All of a sudden, video addicts, professional golfers, teachers and hipsters have a common bond. This virtual way of learning golf makes it easier to learn a new sport and also have the personal help needed to be successful. Immediately, this program connects different types of people and allows them to potentially be successful. Since the New York Times was able to report on this interesting new subject, many new people are informed about how they could potentially learn something

    In our electoral system money certainly talks, but the question is how much and in what way. In Dark Money, the author makes the argument that benefactors like the Koch brothers are using their money to more or less buy influence in the system by building a political network. In End of Discussion Ham and Benson also point to a similar network among liberals that also attempted to do the same.

    In Amusing Ourselves to Death, Neil Postman discusses “the news of the day”(7), and his opinion on it. Had it not been for the mediums that we get our information from, we would not pay attention to certain stories. He states that the news of the day is simply “a figment of our technological imagination” (8) and without the platform to display it, “the news of the day does not exist” (8). I agree with Postman's view because in my everyday life I choose to get information from not only the people around me, but from media that reports stories from all over the world. I usually start my mornings with local news on television.…
