What is the direction that our news is headed towards? Do people even watch news anymore? And when they do, what kind of information is relayed through that medium now? With media convergence, news outlets are starting to rely more and more on viewership and have been straying from their traditional duties to report about our world. Yahoo news is one culprit, posting stories about trivial matters that users will definitely complain about, saying "This is not news," yet they have already done their part by clicking on the headline about the Kardashians. http://news.yahoo.com/kardashians-maternity-woes-prompt-style-164627667.html;_ylt=A2KJ2Uhhwl1Rm0YA1y7QtDMD
