Who Cares More about the News?
By Wafa Hassan
I did this survey to know the difference in the way of getting news between men and women. I want to know if there is a difference or if both of them care equally about the news. I predicted that men care about the news more than women. Also, I predicted that men and women use TV as a main source to get the news then the newspaper.
I asked a lot of people- nearly 68. Some of them were students in Amideast or in college and some of them were relatives and friends of different ages. Our questions were 3 simple questions: Where do you usually get the news? How often do you look at the news? Do you think the news is very impotent?
We asked 40 men and 28 women and I discovered that both of them care about the news; most of them said that it's very important. 25% of men get their news from the newspaper and 75% from TV. 46% of women get their news from the newspaper and 54% from TV. When I asked about time that they spent getting their news I discovered that there is a difference. 60% of men look at the news every day, 23% 3 days a week, 17% every weekend and 32% every day. For women, 68% look at the news every weekend and 32% every day.
I wasn’t surprised by the women. Maybe I didn’t think that they cared for the news that way, but as I predicted the men care more. However, I was surprised that a lot use the newspaper because I know few people in Yemen who like to read.

Who Cares More About the News?
By Bushra Kahlid Own
When I meet my friends we always talk about arts and fashion. However we don’t mention the news. My mother said that we are careless girls because we didn’t know that what happened in the world. At first I thought that all women didn’t care about news, but after my mother was talking with me I decided to make a survey to support my prediction. I also wanted to see if the main source to get news for men and women is the TV.
My survey consisted of four simple questions: What is your gender? Where do you usually get the news? How often do you look at news? Do you think news is very important for you? Each question had some different choices. I asked these questions in my neighborhood, at college and at Amideast. Our group asked 68 people total. I asked 28 people. Of our total, 40 of them were men and 28 were women.
I found these results from my survey. 25% of the men get their news from the newspaper. 75% gets their news from TV. 46% of women get their news from the newspaper and the rest get their news from TV. Most of men and women get their news every day. Both also said that news is very important in their life.
In conclusion, I was surprised from one part my prediction. I surprised that the women said that news is very important, so I was wrong. However I was correct when I thought that the main source to get news is the TV. I am happy because the women follow what happens in the world. I will try to get interested in watching news.
