News media outlets carry a heavy responsibility or at least they should. News comes in many forms. We have local coffee shop talk and visits with friends and family. That source is considered the most effective and influential. Beyond the very personal sources of news and information we have a variety of sources including traditional newspapers, like this one you are holding in your hands. We have radio stations in an almost endless and world wide number, the 500 channel TV universe and then there is the internet with various adaptations of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat and many more.
