ireport critique

I think that ireport is a wonderful resource for the masses. I really think that this is the way of the future. ireport seems to get people involved in the news process. Everything is part of the news and I think that people are getting more involved in the internet. Television news seems to be in decline and this may actually help keep CNN on the cutting edge. I also thought that the stories were smaller and more important to everyday life. You can find stories that impact you and your hobbies. I feel as if people were losing a sense of the importance of the news and now, with this tool, we can begin to see its necessity once again. There is a tendency to need instant gratification in our lives, and this CNN idea gives the user the ability to get his or her "fix." I found these videos to not be boring, they were actually more interesting than a lot of the videos on CNN.
