Christmas is less than three weeks away, and winter break for college students like myself less than two weeks away. And with Christmas just around the corner, New Year's isn't much farther down the line. CNN.com recently highlighted an article on their homepage revisiting the major news stories of 2011 that dominated the headlines.
Scrolling through the article brings back to memory how many events have happened this year, from the devastating earthquakes in Japan to the end of a ten year hunt to find Osama Bin Laden, to the killing of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi. The article covers multiple other news stories, providing links to CNN.com's coverage with every one of them.
CNN.com also offers an interactive graphic that allows you to choose from the top 20 news stories of the last 12 months and customize your top ten. People can submit their choices and view the results of others' choices.
Reviewing all of the major news stories and just how complex they are reminded me just how daunting a task it is for CNN.com to cover so many stories with in-depth quality. And with CNN recently cutting 50 staffers, that task will prove even more difficult, as 2012 is sure to be just as exciting.
The CNN.com article ends with this: Jobs died of pancreatic cancer in October. His final words, according to his sister, were "Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow!" Fitting words for 2011.
