Television news coverage gives viewers a sense of direct involvement with current events but does not provide the depth of coverage needed for the significance of those events to be appreciated  Newspapers, on the other hand, provide depth of coverage but no sense of direct involvement  Unfortunately, a full understanding of current events requires both an appreciation of their significance and a sense of direct involvement with them
Ttherefore, since few people seek out news sources other than newspapers and television, few people ever fully understand current events
ignores the possibility that people read newspapers or watch television for reasons other than gaining a full understanding of current events
