Walking around Streetmall, attempting to interview people. According to some, they don't keep up with news online. At some point I have doubted the authenticity/"believability" of newspapers or the local news as there are many cases of false reporting. But as it is, it seems to be good enough for most to tune in local tv news.
Not to brag or be hipster about it, but most of us who are well connected to the internet get updates are up to date the second something big happens, alike to being glued to CNN 24/7. Eventually news gets around, but i wonder if it makes a different being one of the first to know as compared to someone finding out the next day in the papers or from your neighbours. Or is it that the general population are okay with finding out the news later.
I guess finding out later isn't a bad thing unless it's a last minute catastrophe like a hurricane and the news could save your life. Makes me wonder what it would be like if it happened...simple hawkers who had no access to the latest updates,unable to get to their family in time or save themselves. WHat if??
Would there be anyway for them to gain access to the latest news without having to splurge on astro/huge tv/dataplan/smart phone? would it be something the government should look into? or is it really not neccesary?
Mind you, most of these people in this demographic are simple people,basic things in life are all they need. Back then everyone got their news by word of mouth,they made it, so i guess it's REALLY not that big a deal.
