This week I observed The Washington Post on September 11, 2013.  It is a nationwide newspaper that covers: top stories, politics, sports, technology, entertainment, jobs, and other subjects.  It will give the top stories or discoveries in each of these subjects

The top story today was a story titled, U.S. weapons reaching Syrian Rebels.  The story covers the status of the aid the U.S. is trying to provide to Syria.  The Central Intelligence Agency is now in charge of supplying the rebels with lethal equipment.  The U.S. is just now providing them with non-lethal equipment that was promised several months ago.  Obama’s biggest concern with delivering advanced weaponry into the war zone is that it could wind up in the hands of Jihads.  Although the U.S. is lagging behind it is slowly getting the necessary equipment needed in Syria.

There were to others stories that caught my interest more than others.  The first was about Lamar Odom and his drug allegations.  Lamar, a NBA player, has been admitted to rehab for an alleged drug issue.  The star was charged with driving under the influence on August, 30.  He is not a free agent looking for a team to take him in.  Another story that I thought was interesting was complaints about the new IPhone.  People are worried about the new way to unlock your phone is through finger print scanning.  Some are worried that Apple will have all of the finger prints in a central data base and hackers could obtain them for criminal use.  Apple has said it has no type of data base for obtaining the finger prints, and that the special feature is just unique to that phone.  Although Apple has explained the new feature some are still very skeptical of the new phone.

The audience for this type of news outlet is middle aged and older individuals.  Middle aged and older people are more like to read the newspaper versus a college student or younger adult who will mostly get their news from the internet.  The news that is contained in this outlet appeals to individuals 20 years of age and up.  Younger people still in high school would not likely find anything in this particular news outlet appealing to them.

The media news outlet did appeal to me. Although I do not read the newspaper every day, I might start subscribing to the electronic version on the internet.  The stories were well crafted and seemed unbiased on any of the topics that I skimmed over.  I would recommend this news outlet to others who enjoy reading the paper.
