The article I read is about how many companies are helping with Hurricane Sandy. Disney for example is donating $2 million to the American Red Cross and other organizations. Disney also says it will help out by matching employee contributions dollar for dollar. According to the article "Time Warner Cable is donating $600,000 and is dispatching vehicles with mobile charging stations and free Wi-Fi access throughout New York City." Viacom is making a $1 million donation. And also according to the article the company says it will donate $500,000 to the Mayor’s Fund for NYC and a lot more.
I chose this specific article because i found it interesting how these companies are helping out the situation. As a student this article impacts me because it encourages me to work hard to be able to help if needed.As a future filmmaker this really motivates me to try to have my movies succeed because then I will be able to help anyone who is in need of my help. As a consumer this impacts me because this might make me want to switch my cable company to Time Warner Cable for example.
Some questions that come into mind after reading this article are questions like:
- What other companies will be helping out with Hurricane Sandy?
-How will this affect the companies helping out?
