This book is about the way a news story was reported on the radio, in the newspaper, and on TV. We can also get news on the Internet. Look at a news website with a family member. Then, using a Venn diagram, compare the features of the website with a printed newspaper. Does your family prefer reading a newspaper or reading the news online? Why?
