Media digital or otherwise

I make a conscience effort to be aware of whats happening in my community as well as the world around me. I use the internet as a primary source of news. Google, Yahoo, YouTube, and even Twitter are some of the websites that keep me aware of whats going on a global level. However, that being said I don't believe everything that gets posted. Apart from the web, I also watch the news on television. I prefer and trust local news stations more so than big networks. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report are my personal favorite "news" programs; mainly because of the humor aspect.

I think it is important to be in touch and conscience of what is happening in the world; not just because we are artists but because it's our responsibilities as human beings. We have to wakeup and be aware of social and global issues that are happening around us.
