I agree with Leonard and Robert many people turn to the news when its significant or major. From the beginning, news have connected citizens to the shared events that affected their lives. News outlets have evolved over time dating back to the Civil War to presidential elections.Journalism has evolved dramatically through centuries thanks to famous journalists such as Tom Paine, Ben Franklin, Ida Tarbell and etc. Through their work they won the support of the people. The country has always give a special status to journalism. Nine of the original thirteen states added the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: "Congress shall make no law..abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press." Over the years, the media and the government officials went back and forth repeatedly talking about this and how far the press could go in challenging the politically powerful. The american newspaper made it a regular practice to print not just political news, by foreign and domestic and for the first time, it printed reports from the police, from the courts, from the streets, and from private household. Journalism was gaining steam and it was catching everybody's attention.
