DS NETS is the oldest and the most enduring websites that I maintain continuously, and with the growing the trend by the media to focus on irrelevant sensationalistic stories I believe it is more imperative to continue my daily news abstracts writings on this website. This website, however, is not a traditional website or an ordinary blog in a sense that this website is not here to present its content to the world. DS NETS’ existence is more of an indirect protest against the new trends of media companies and an incomplete vision of how a better news organization would work. The news abstracts here are some of the most important stories that should be echoed throughout the media channels regardless of its potential popularity among the public. The archives of hundreds of news abstracts are also of my own personal notepad that has records of important events throughout the years. From the constant bombardment of irreverent topics from the media corporations, it is easy to get lost when trying to find what significant events happened today.

The new design of DS NETS is simple and clean, a counter representation of the flashy themed leading news websites of today. There is a list on the bottom of the webpage of trustworthy news companies that still focuses on the critical events with a keen journalistic eye. Notice that many so called news leaders are missing from the list. Finally, I have created a “Notepad” space for personal commentary, thought, personal journalism, or just frivolous writings in the future.

I hope you like the new layout.
