Have Your Say

We have been talking in class about the ways in which the media is trying to interact with the public more so when I noticed this section on BBC news I was really excited. Although I have heard about the recent financial crisis I've found it hard to really follow. I don't have any stocks or bonds, I don't have a mortgage, and I don't know anything about Wall Street. For me, BBC's "Have Your Say" page has been far more informative than any in-depth article on exactly what went wrong. Yes, some posters may be way off-base but at least one can usually find a variety of opinions. As much as I love the paper news, it cannot compete with the internet for mass interaction.
