The Best

As of right now, I think television and newspaper perform the job of informing the best. There are 1,500 daily newspapers being published currently and from personal experience, I turn to the newspaper for the big news because of details and pictures. Television also informs the best because of its easy access to a wide range of people. There are now TVs everywhere; in homes, restaurants, schools, and gyms. This provides an opportunity to inform many people around the world. After 9/11, I constantly read the newspaper and watched the news to learn new updates and gain a greater perspective of those horrific events.

Depending on the individual, entertainment sources vary. For me, television entertains the best. I have my favorite shows and movies that I can kick back, relax, and enjoy. I can immerse myself in someone's life, watch the latest soccer game, or root for my favorite American Idol. I look forward to Monday nights when my friends and I can hang out and watch Prison Break, constantly on the edges of our seats, intensely focused on their next move. This weekly entertainment allows me to escape my daily hassles and enjoy an action-filled hour with good friends.

Also from personal experiences, I think television and advertising persuade the best. This is because methods of persuasion are hidden in commercials and TV shows. Whether it is to buy a new product or vote for a certain candidate, television can send the message across to a wide audience. Television can be seen and heard, differing from newspapers and radio and can therefore use more methods of persuasion. I love commercials and I am often persuaded into buying new products, such as the new Venus Embrace, with five blades.
