Read the following excerpt from the introduction to “A Quilt of a Country.” Why does Quindlen offer this contradiction about the

“ideal” of America and its “reality”? How does she develop her central idea from this point?
America is an improbable idea. A mongrel nation built of ever-changing disparate parts, it is held together by a notion, the notion that all men are created equal, though everyone knows that most men consider themselves better than someone. . . . Out of many, one. That is the ideal. . . .The reality is often quite different, a great national striving consisting frequently of failure. Many of the oft-told stories of the most pluralistic nation on earth are stories not of tolerance, but of bigotry.

PLZ HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!! Looking at how news consumption has changed, how might this change the way we tell stories, or
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The most newsworthy stories are usually those that affect a large number of people. Events that impact a lot of people are considered more significant than those only affecting one or two, and this makes them more newsworthy in the eyes of journalists. It’s the age of “fake news” and gone are the days of waiting for the morning news for breaking stories or reading gossip magazines for the latest celebrity dirt. We now have all the information we need at the touch of an app and most people now get their news information online, specifically from social media. The dawn of the Internet made disseminating news faster, with users able to access information within seconds. So, although social media is often the fastest way to obtain information, it can be fragmented. Because of this, traditional journalism still has its place, and many look to trusted sources for the facts.
