The newspapers are always running a few days late on current stories because if you think about it there is no way for a newspaper company to continually update the information and get it out to everyone.

The news has up to date current issues and is broadcasted every couple of hours for local stations and CNN is always on. Twenty-four hours a day of news brought to you each and every day! When you watch a news channel, the news tends to be on for an hour or a half-hour long. In this short amount of time you get a variety of stories and issues that are happening in the world right here and now. They give you a run through of what has happened in the past few days plus new stories that are not all the way ready yet. Sure, the news talks about special stories that they repeat for a couple of days such as; accidents, missing persons, wars, or disasters that has happened in the world but, the main focus for the news on television is to get you the most current and up to date issues as to what is going on in the world at that moment.
