Abstract
An important question, right now, according to a recent Globe and Mail article, as well as chatter heard recently while riding the grid-lock streets listening to a taxi driver's radio, is if daily newspapers collapse, is this a sign that democracy is in trouble? Perusing the numerous blogs of self-made Internet personalities, I wonder, what is news, and how do we respond to it? There are all kinds of information bombarding us during our waking and sleeping hours: much of it we seem to know whether we ever open up a newspaper or not. Conversational banter, television watching, internet surfing, magazine page sifting, academic journals read because we are taking university degrees --- all of these contexts help us to know what is going on in the world. There is a major economic downturn; Obama is the first African-American U.S. president; people are struggling to keep their heads above water; many companies are closing
