Interest Shown in News at FSU


On a sunny afternoon at Frostburg State University several students were being asked what current or recent news story they found most interesting. Sitting in the Lane Center selling bracelets for a fundraiser, four different students had this question put to them. Various Frostburg students responded. Junior Edwin Holandez said the most interesting is, “the killings in D.C.” He said he found it interesting for the simple fact that it interests him. Sophomore Hussain Fouad thought that the D.C. shootings that take place are under- reported and need more coverage. Fouad also said that Kony 2012 interested him because his fraternity brother told him it was a "controversial” issue. Ugandan rebel leader dictator Joseph Kony is alleged in an Internet video to have killed many innocent people.
Junior Emily Pendleton said, “Westboro Baptist Church protesting at Glen Burnie High School” has been the most interesting subject for her while Senior Becky Miller thought the most recent interesting story was Snooki being pregnant. She “can’t believe the world would let something like that on the news”. Snooki is a reality TV star on the hit show Jersey Shore.  Miller also went on to say that Ellen DeGeneres bought Snooki a crib that resembled a tanning bed. She thought the most under-reported story is about a game named Wetopia. She explained how it was a game on Facebook. The money you make on the game goes toward those that are under- privileged.
