1. My topic for module-2 reaction paper was on news, data, and
other media means of delivering information to the public.
When gathering all the information and reflecting on my
personal experience when watching, reading or listening to the
news outlets was very addicting. To see news clips from the
wars past or deployments after the fact was real-time history for
most of us (me), yet our families, friends and other members
not physically at that location waiting to hear something can be
very overwhelming. My question is the methods and absorbing
of news
: Are citizens informed about terrorism and is it overwhelming?
