Because it plays such a vital part in our lives and is so important to keep up with, it is without a doubt a piece of your everyday routine that can’t go ignored.
Whether it is to understand the ramifications of recent legislation passed, to hear about recent events and grasp the potential consequences to your country, or simply hear about what is happening in other countries in order to compare them to what’s happening in yours, the news is certainly a staple in our lives and the most consistent way to get information.

- (Former) vice-president Joe Biden’s presidential campaign is now adapting to the fact that he is a candidate who can’t leave his home to campaign (due to) the coronavirus pandemic. That means his effort to (unseat) Donald Trump from the White House in November will be almost (entirely) online. Instead of shaking hands with (constituents) or giving speeches in arenas, Biden’s most visible moments in recent weeks have been in front of a camera (broadcasting) from his (basement). But the Biden campaign is (embracing) the new reality. He has started a regular podcast where he’s interviewed political figures. Virtually every day his campaign offers a live stream of him taking questions or having a discussion with an elected official. Biden has (upped) the frequency of his appearances on television, as he has been seen almost daily over the past two weeks. On Facebook, the Biden campaign more than (doubled) the amount of money spent on (ads) in the last week compared with the Trump campaign. Trump, though, has still spent more (overall) on that platform. Biden campaign (fundraisers) are also now virtual, changing the logistics of organizing them. The California senator Kamala Harris was the surprise (guest) at his second virtual fundraiser in April.
