Television news gets the least attention from students, perhaps because TV does not give students the opportunity to pick and choose what they want to learn about. From reading the headlines and story summaries, Collignon can click on the stories that interest him to get more in-depth coverage. I always like the funny stuff. Collignon also looks over major news summaries to get a general idea of what is going on. Bluhm said he reads what looks interesting, adding that he is more interested in knowing that something happened rather than knowing the details of an event.
Several students try to keep up with local events.
Other students are also knowledgeable about sports. He said it is easy to check out the world of sports on the Internet. If it has to do with politics, it's out. Besides sports, Wilson said he reads a newspaper every night, looking for a house or an apartment in the classified section. Wilson lives in Creston, Iowa, and he said he hears about most of his news on the radio during the 90-minute commute to and from Drake.
