Tipping Point and Your Local News

In the article "The Tipping Point" the author describes how little events leads to a huge outbreak, and he uses this to describe how quickly people can catch on to things. Societal trends are created so quickly, and then spread to everyone within the blink of an eye.I agree with this, because one day everyone has one thing and then the next something else is newer and better and much cooler, and then everyone has to have that, or be a part of it. Most people don't really pay attention to this, but it happens everyday every where. In the article "Your local news" the author talks about outsourcing news articles. The author believes that this has a negative impact and strongly disagrees with it.I agree with the authors view of this, and believe that it is completely wrong. I didn't really find a very strong link between either of these articles, but I connected more with the first article than with the second.
