After exploring BBC and The New York Times on the internet, I realized that there are a lot more things going on in the world than I ever imagined. Usually, I only have time to watch the news on television in the mornings. However, the internet is a very quick and efficient way to get information. Overall I really enjoy The New York Times because I love reading the Fashion and Style columns. The New York Times seems to cover larger portion of topics such as Art, Style, Sports, and Travel that really interest me.
On BBC.com, it seemed to divide everything up into regions such as Africa, Americas, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Europe, South Asia, UK, etc. But in the New York Times, they only had World, and more varieties other than just Health, Technology, and Nature.
BBC I thought today was very interesting. One topic that really caught my eye was, “Girl Separation Surgery a Success.” This truly was interesting. The article talked about a two year old girl who was born with four legs and four arms. Her parents did not know what to do, until some doctors decided to help them out. The girl was sent to the hospital to have a special operation to remove the extra pelvic, extra arms and legs. On BBC, under the Health section, there was a video of the girl and some of the doctors prior to her operation. This definitely made the reading very enjoyable and entertaining. BBC and New York Times both have videos, and I believe that this is awesome advantage, because it gives the reader a better idea what is going on, and it makes the articles more believable. I love the videos!!!
