    Amanda’s News

    It was a long week for Amanda at school. She stayed after


    school to work on a special project three days in a row.
    When she got home on Friday, she plopped down in her
    favorite chair with a sigh.

    “What’s going on, Amanda?” her dad asked as he was


    reading the newspaper.

    “I have to create a webpage for my technology


    class, and it is taking a lot m ore time
    than I thought it would,” Amanda
    answered.

    Her dad looked over his newspaper and


    said, “When I was your age, we didn’t
    even have computers, let alone the internet.”
    He folded his newspaper and asked
    Amanda what the webpage is about.

    “It’s about the difference between newspaper news and


    internet news,” Amanda said and added,” I have to provide
    information, examples and illustrations.”

    “Sounds tough; do you have someone to help you?” her


    dad asked.

    “I have a partner named Zach,” Amanda replied. “We did


    research on the internet today and found some pictures to
    use.”

    “You are lucky you have the internet for research,” her dad
    said. “Back in my day, we had to do all of our research at
    the library and look through books, newspapers and
    magazines.” He then asked, “What is the difference
    between newspaper news and internet news?”

    Amanda explained to her father the main differences:


    newspaper news is printed on paper, and internet news is
    published online; newspaper news is only available once a
    day, and internet news is published almost as soon as the
    news happens; many newspapers don’t even print a daily
    paper, and internet news is published around the clock.

    When Amanda and Zach finished their webpage, it had


    many examples which compared the times certain news
    stories were available to readers of newspapers and
    readers of internet news. It also had pictures of traditional
    newspaper headlines and internet news headlines.

    Amanda’s dad saw the webpage and thought it was very


    well done. He asked, “Which type of news do you like
    better?”

    I like internet news better because I like to learn about the


    news when it happens,” she answered.

    Her dad said, “I still like newspaper news better because I


    like to hold the paper in my hands and turn the pages.”

    Amanda plopped down on her chair again and said, “You


    are so old school, Dad.”
