The first personal news story is about the Notre Dame de Paris fire. The fire destroyed one of France’s most famous landmarks. This type of news is an international event. The church is recognized all over the world and has a place in history. I remember when this broke the story, I was in class using Twitter, and I saw it trending on my feed. The videos at first showed that the roof of the cathedral was on fire, and then moments later, the fire was getting much worse. Eventually, the building spire and roof collapsed. This made me realize a symbol of a country with so much history can shock the entire world. I feel like the United States news outlets were reporting on this the whole day. US President Donald Trump said it was “horrible to watch.” This shows the US was fully aware of the situation. I feel like moments similar stay in people’s memories because it’s a historical building that has been around for 800 years, and millions of tourists visit this landmark every year. BBC new stands for British Broadcasting Corporation. The network gathers news and broadcasting of news and current affairs. The area that this new outlet survives is specific services for the United Kingdom and the rest of the world. I think their target audience is adults in the UK and internationally.This type of news hit me personally on a cultural level because my family is catholic, and I know how much that building meant for my family and around the world.

The second news story is about the Las Vegas Shooting. The life lost from the las vegas shooting was 59 Killed, and more than 500 people hurt and a country music festival. I was the worst mass shooting in modern American history. I believe this was an international event. I was a significant event going on at the time, and so many people were hurt, fiscal or emotional in some way. I remember watching TV when this new appeared, and then I went on social media to get more information. The videos that were being posted was just scary to watch. NBC stands for National Broadcasting Company. NBC is an American broadcast television network. It operates a 24-hour cable news network called MSNBC. NBC News has a partnership with Euronews, which is a 24-hour news network. I was interested in this news story because it was in the US at a music festival. This was a massive shooting that shocked the United States.
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/09/us/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-president.html – Donald Trump being Elected
The last news story was Donald Trump is being elected as president of the United States. I believe this was a nationwide news event in the US. I was watching TV when the election was going live and remember social media was going crazy about it. When the news broke about Donald Trump being elected, everyone that I followed and my friends were in just in complete shock and in disbelief of what was happening. I think people didn’t expect at all that Donald Trump was going to win and especially how he ran his campaign. It was the first year that I can vote, so it was something to me, and I personally didn’t expect that Trump was going to be elected. The next day, my school was just an awkward vibe, nothing that I’ve ever felt before. I think this election is a perfect example of an event that will stick in people’s memories for a very long time.The New York Times is an American newspaper based in New York City. It has a significant worldwide influence and readership. It was founded in 1851. The New York Times is ranked 18th in the world by circulation and 3rd in the US.At this point in time, I was interested in this type of news beats. It was the first time that I could vote. I would say I get my news from social media, news networks on TV, and I do use some new app on my phone to get my information.
