Tiger Reaction

I think it's good that Tiger put in the effort to apologize and accepted the responsibility of his actions directly. It shows he's trying to get back on track. Although some of the words he said seemed very scripted, most of his words seemed sincere. His speaking skills were just so bad that it made it come off insincere and not very believable.

Newspaper Closings

This article is about daily newspapers going out of business. I think this is happening because it is getting more common to see the articles online, and that maybe more are watching television news. I think that this too bad, because now we have less freedom to learn what we want to, because with television and radio you can't choose what you hear/see. On the internet, you can choose which articles you want to read and learn, which I think is highly affecting newspapers because it is free and more are turning to this cheaper form of news.
