Today's story:
Besides the article, this page includes an audio. David Sedaris, the Grammy-nominated author, playwright, essayist and comedians, says that he reads his new material aloud to audience and then editing his work according to audience’s reactions --- laughs or coughs or groans. This is a new way in communication for a writer to get the reviews of his readers.

This article is concerned about the global culture. The temperature of Colombia is around 72°F all the year. The good temperature is fit for growing flowers. So that selling and exporting of flowers has for centuries been one of colombia most important industries.

The links above is relative to the global culture and media class. This website applies some new media formations like pictures, audio, video, etc. in all editing. I think it is a good example to show how the mass media and cyber-communication develop in today's society.
