Interviews #2

We, me and Giovana, have compiled all data from the class's interviews (70 people) and came to a conclusion from each of the questions, but there were a few that called my attention.
- "Do you get your news on-line, TV or print?" the answer that was most used was on-line (more than half), than was TV and 5 people chose print and taking a look deeper, most of them are 40 and older.
- "How often do you check news?" the answer most used was Daily, which shows that people live their daily live surrounded by news and current events
- "Do you consider Celebrity Gossip news?" 73%  answered yes, so people consider celebrity gossip entertainment, not news.
-"Do you consider ongoing criminal trials news?" more than half answered yes, so people prefere criminal trial than gossip
- "Do you trust the Internet sources for news?" The answers were really divided 20 answered yes, 16 answered no and 23 answered maybe, and I was surprised because it just depends on the source

Quotes from the Interviews:

"I don't really know what infotainment means but I think Infotainment is informative ways to entertain the viewer"

"The media manipulates the story lines to develop a headline that will give them attention"
