114. Gaps For the most part, internet is usually free, but those who do not have access must pay for their information when it comes to newspapers. Television: For younger generations, internet is key to obtaining news/information that can be accessed at anytime, where as news stations on television is only on at specific times and may take longer to access. At any age, you have to map your time out to receive your news on T.V.

115. Gaps Radio: On a broader level, to find out listings on what radio stations are available in Columbia, internet is key. If one does not have access, then you are left flipping through the stations to find one you are looking for. On a micro level, radio stations pick out information they find to be critical and may not be as informative as news stations, internet and so forth.
