The biggest thing that I learned was knowning the source my news comes from and that different sources have different views. My news habits have changed because now I check multiple sites about the same story just because I'm interested in how they're written differently. I think this matters because it's important to have our own opinions and know we're not always alone in our opionions. Just because one site says something doesn't neccesarily mean it's right or all other sites agree with it. I can apply this by in the future checking where my information comes from.
Also my news habits have changed because I check political news more. I never was interested in politics but we talk a lot about them in this class causing me to read more about them. I also learned about ways to find articles through sites like LexisNexis and the Penrose database as well as writing tools like the writing center and peer/review editing techniques. I also learned about writing styles and how to integrate quotes.
