Newspapers come out every day or once a week, and the stories within are focused on some things we might think are important. Is journalism living up to its heritage? Within the pages of this very paper may be insights large or meaningless, and we all might want to hear what people think about the whole affair. In a world so worshipful of those with power, it is a wonder that more people haven''t stepped up to answer these questions. Leave it to Street Talk to break the fiendish ideas of resident human beings! For you, dear readers, here are a few folks with something to say.

Angel Rihsen

Marketing Analyst, Monterey

What do you read in the newspaper? I like seeing the events happening in Monterey.

Is there anything journalism could do better? I definitely think you need to have both sides of every story.

What should Street Talk be about next week? Um, favorite Sunday activities.

Wail Idris

What do you read in newspapers? World news, usually.

What is the worst medium for news? Well, TV news does absolutely nothing, it is like a five-minute bulletin about the rest of the world.

Debbie Jones

Teacher, Monterey

What do you read in the papers? Oh, the comics.

Have we failed as journalists?! I think journalists have gotten into writing their own opinion instead of what is really happening.

Is printed news being overshadowed by the Internet? No, people like to hold a solid piece of paper.
