We see diversity in the News Paper when people talk about winning the super bowl and then they start talking about a massive flu verise thats killing everybody. I saw divesity when i was watching the News and I saw how they where talking about celebertys how they were sucssesfull on there career. Then they started talking about poor people and how they're kids where dieing but they never did nothing about it. But yet they paid and rised money to built a new stadium.

You really hit the nail on the head by showing how the news covers a variety of diverse topics. Do you think they cover them equally? Does the news focus more on the bad news than the good?
The news does not cover everything equally because its to much news, so much bad and good things happens in the United States everyday. So they try to cover the most importent things like the economy, the worst crimes that has happen, and how people are loseing they'er jobs. The good news is easier for them because the only thing they talk about is the sports for example last year every one was so happy that the gaints won and they did things so they can celebret it. But when the economy goes up people don't do nothing they just sit and starts
to cry and being scard because they dont want to lose ther'er job. So there for they foces more on the bad news.
