We are living in an information age in which news in one country can reach the other side of the world in seconds. Thanks to this advancement in the delivery of information, the big news company need no to struggle to get an interesting piece of headline that will catch the readers' eyes. However, it seems that when we are able to access news in a faraway land, we forget about the local news. The big news companies are focusing on main issues of importance whether it is the politics in Washington D.C or the North Korean nuclear crisis. They are not giving as much attention to local news as before. However, the internet provides normal citizens to be news reporters and some people choose to use this opportunity to spread out the "not as much important" local news.
Atlanta Unsheltered is a blog created by an Atlanta journalist. The blog focuses on as what the blog title says, "News & views on politics, media & the environment." Once you have entered this blog, you can read entries about the up coming mayor candidates, or corners of Atlanta that require attention. I think the reason this blogger choose to create this blog is to create a place where people in the community can catch what is going on, to find out things that they cannot find out on TVs. The author of this blog wants to provide stories and insights from individual's perpective. I think this is a good blog to read in order to understand the city of Atlanta more.
