I have always been a HUGE fan of the news. During high school I watched the news every single night from 10-10:35 before going to bed. My dream career was broadcast journalism. I just knew I would be a news anchor someday. I never actually declared a communications major once I got to BYU. I think I lost that dream sometime during my senior year or maybe it was after I took comms 101 freshman year. I also realized that I hate the sound of my voice on tape... So even though my high school dream of being a news anchor isn't really my dream anymore, I still love to watch the news. After a long day at school, turning on the news is just the perfect way for me to unwind. In fact, I'm watching KSL 5 news at noon as I type this.
Channel 5 has always been my favorite. I think the anchors are more professional and more reliable than the other Utah stations. (and I promise I would know...I've been watching Utah news for years!)
I think the main reason I love watching the news is because I love knowing what is going on in the world. I think it's so easy in college to tune out the rest of the world and just worry about homework and a social life. It is important for me to be a responsible citizen and know what is going on in the rest of the world.
Good for you! KSL is my source of news as well - I especially like their radio programs.
