Latino's Image in World War 2

It is of shock to me that Latinos were involved in World War 2. I never thought about their contribution to the war I guess because I was never informed about their participation. This just goes to show how media portrays certain races and that something or somebody always has to make a big deal about a situation for some justice to be serve. But, thats our world today and I couldn't see it any different.

Jena 6 Coverage

I've just recently viewed a video on The Dallas Morning News website covering Jena 6 and I think they covered it in a positive way, being it was a positive event going on. Anytime there is a group of people marching or doing something in a non-violent way to solve a problem is always gonna bring positve media. At least for people like Dallas Morning News. I haven't seen it yet, but I wouldn't be shocked to see news outlets in Louisianna or Jena to blow the situation up making it seem as if everybody is making this situation bigger than what it is. I'm glad to see coverage this event though because for a while I didn't even know this was going on. I still can't believe how racist some places are still! Me being a black male, who is to say it couldn't have been me? Everybody seems to be on the same page across the nation backing up these young men. I've seen support on Myspace and Facebook as well too. As long people make a big deal about situations like this and keep doing it, the Louisianna law system will have no choice but to make change for the better.

My News Habits

The way that I recieve the news is mainly through the television. Thats everything from local, national, sports, etc... I also get my news through the internet and newspapers. I see different types of news almost everyday now. Mostly on the internet. I like to read about sports and entertainment news both online and offline. I guess thats what I can relate to as of right now. If I was to add up the hours in which I look at news coverage, it'll probably round up to about 3-4 hours. I think that when the news hit subject matters of race and gender, they are purposely making that subject an everyday target because thats what people are immune to hearing and seeing in the world today.
