Media Mayhem

The media is a one of the most dynamic constants in daily life - it will constantly be bringing us news of current events almost in real time due to the significant advances in technology over the last decade.  This morning on CNN these were three of the highlighted, "breaking news" topics.  How are they a representation of our current society? Which article interested you the most? Which one would have you clicked on first if you would have simply been browsing CNN.com?  Although these articles cover extremely diverse topics what are some similarities among the articles?  Share your thoughts on how the media and advances in technology are shaping our society?
