I won't actually read into it if I don't have time." 📱Along with entertainment news, Kamran follows news in the Middle East. "I'm Muslim, so anything that happens there I definitely make time to read about." #utnow16 #NewsEngagementDay By Alexandria and Sarah (at The University of Texas at Austin)

What does news mean to you?

“There’s so much information available 24/7 – whether you want it or not. The way human beings organically screen the excess of information is by responding to news that affect them personally. News to me hits me in some personal way.” - Robert Zimmer, Texas Student Television Broadcast Advisor
