In my opinion NEWSY is a website used to make young adults better understand the news that’s going on around them. I think that NEWSY points out so many topics in this society that local and national news stations refuse to cover because they’re too scared of what others may say. I also like how the people who are posting the stories aren’t necessarily “professional” journalist. They are young and fresh and aren’t forced to say or write anything they don’t believe in, bringing a new outlook and honest opinion to different stories going on. Other than just news stories, I like the fact that each story comes with a video. You can see the person tell you their point of view and hear the passion in their voice, instead of reading it on the computer and being set to decide for yourself whether or not you are agreeing or disagreeing on the imposed topic.
