The newspaper has been around for four hundred years. A typical newspaper today has the comics, the crossword, the sports/world/politics/today section. We read what's happening in the world around us, and we become immersed in the stories that are happening even as we speak. A newspaper can reveal the truth or cleverly make it so that a lie is shown as the truth.
The tiny print we look at every day tells us stories that are to the benefit of those in charge. If the person at the top of the paper wants a report to be written in a way that negatively affects a certain company, it will be done. The opposite can just as easily happen, but it all depends on those in charge.
I chose this blog because it gives some detail about how a newspaper affects society. It shows how much those stories in the paper can give the people reading it food for thought, but also how a newspaper can guide its readers into certain beliefs that may or may not be the actual truth. It may be a small blog, but it does show how much influence a few stories can make people want to act or protest loudly against whatever forces (government, for example) that really aren't at fault.
