Having access to current events and up-to-date information has value in the modern world because of the constantly changing nature of the world.
Without regular access to news, most people would be unaware of the various events taking place, both locally and around the world, that have an impact on their lives.
News is more than just facts and information; it is information that affects us.
News affects how we live our lives, how we perform our jobs, how we function, and how we make decisions. We decide whether or not to carry an umbrella or cancel a picnic based on weather reports.
So everyday we will be bringing you a “News Digest” to wake up too. Here’s everything you need to kick off your morning.
