J130: Google News

Google News screen capture

I recommended Google News to you on yesterday. Here is a random screen capture from Google News. It is an excellent way to keep up with top news events. Look at the top story – “UN resolution fails as violence in Syria worsens.” That’s a story you need to know about.

The next story is about Romney sailing to victory today in Nevada. The page is continuously updated. If you scroll down the page at any given moment, you will see story after story that you should be following.

This isn’t a substitute to reading the Houston Chronicle or listening to NPR, but it is an excellent tool not only for keeping up with top news headlines but also for helping you development news judgment.
