I have to admit that before my internship, I only followed the news on a weekly basis. Whenever someone would turn on the television and flipped to the news, I would respond with, "Ugh- can't you put something else on?"
I now know how important it is to know what is going on in the world. Not only does it leave you informed, but it also keeps you from looking uneducated while having a conversation with a well-rounded person. My internship is all about news and entertainment, and to have an old story is embarassing. To keep me informed even on the go, I receive text messages from Channel 7 on my phone with breaking news updates. This can come very handy in some cases.
I think it is a sign of growing up when you would rather watch the news than a repeat of "Friends". With knowing what is going on in the world, it leaves chances for more interesting conversations and opportunities.
