News to Go
One way to get news is to get it on your cell phone. If people are on the go’ they like
to read the news wherever they are. Ifthey have smartphones with Internet service they
can usually read news anywhere. News companies are trying to make it even easier to
get news on phones. If they will make news even easier to read on a small screen, more
5 people will read it.
Companies consider several questions when they develop stories for cell phones. For
example, ifa story is long, people will read it? If people only will want to read stories on
certain topics, how people can get these stories easily?
Ifyou will read or listen to the news on your phone, there could be some problems.
10 For example, imagine you are outside during your lunch break tomorrow, and you want
to catch up on the news. When the weather is bad tomorrow, you probably won't get
good cell phone service. You definitely won't use your phone outside when it rains a lot
tomorrow. Of course, you wouldn't read a newspaper in the rain, either!
