However, I recently heard that at least one network, NBC, is trying to expand in this area and devote more resources to international reporting. I think its a very shrewd move on their part. In our increasingly globally aware world, I think international reporting can only grow.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229157249372852595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415890695124058788.post-30188980787160705942009-05-04T19:28:00.000-07:002009-05-04T19:28:00.000-07:00How could you not need international news in such ...How could you not need international news in such a globalized world? It is absolutely insane, in my opinion, to assume that international news is not necessary.J.

I think that the level people care about international news varies from person to person.<br /><br />For someone who has a friend or loved one in Iraq, Afghanistan or any part of the world, international news is essential in trying to find out what could possibly be going on in regards to that person.<br /><br />We all have international connections, just look at the Somali pirate situation. We may not have had a personal relation to the crew, but when we found out that they were Americans and were being rescued by Americans we took notice. <br /><br />When you were studying abroad I am sure that your family and friends paid more attention to international news about China to make sure you were okay or to learn more about where you were.<br /><br />It is unfair to say that people don't care, and if that message keeps getting repeated, it might come true - and I hope it never does.Amanda Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526765784400936987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415890695124058788.post-10682810277442429672009-04-30T20:47:00.000-07:002009-04-30T20:47:00.000-07:00I just skimmed this and I saw the part about your ...I just skimmed this and I saw the part about your neighbor liking football, hunting and Nascar, and you fortunately never having to talk to him... I got a kick out of that.

Who's to say Joe Schmoe is not interested in keeping up with what's going on in the world? What about the globalization? Doesn't this shift require us to understand more about the world? I don't think it's a waste of money to cover international news. If anything, it puts your life in perspective.Lisa E.

It's important to know what's going on globally, even if you can't feel the effects directly.Regina Hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409499140631361600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415890695124058788.post-50725278745770113062009-04-22T02:02:00.000-07:002009-04-22T02:02:00.000-07:00To this day, I still can't answer the question "is...To this day, I still can't answer the question "is international news needed for survival?"Jing Gaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203279971883533414noreply@blogger.com
