Is it just me, or does it seem like so many stories have this undertone of the economy? Obviously it’s a big deal, but just thinking back at all the newspaper’s I’ve read over the course of this semester, it is obvious what is big news and what the American public wants to hear about. It’s interesting how looking at the news for this long makes us be able to find overall themes to the news- the war, the economy etc. It makes us be able to see what the “big stories” of the world are in the view of the media, if not in general. I just found it curious how I could read the headline “United is in talks about a merger with US Airways” and know exactly what the reason was, and what the bigger picture behind that story was.
