5 Sources

Staying informed in today's world is very important. News provides awareness of the world's dynamics, including culture, economics, sports, fashion, and politics. We can better understand the world and how it works by utilizing news. It's essential to get information from reliable media outlets. I have listed my top 5 news sources below. 

Apple News

 

Apple News is one of my favorite sources of information. This app is installed on all Apple products and provides much content. Well-known news organizations like the New York Times and The Washington Post are featured. It's very convenient and an easy way to stay up to date on news and information. You can also customize preferences on what type of news is most relevant to you. Trending and relevant news can also be set to show up right on your phone display screen. Even if I don't have time to read a full article, this popup gives me a brief synopsis which I really enjoy. 

ESPN

I am an avid sports fan, so ESPN is one of my favorite media outlets. This outlet is on many platforms, including TV, radio, web browsers, and apps. All forms are easy to use and cover a wide range of sports. They have a feature where you can set your favorite teams, allowing you to get notifications on all news and related game updates. ESPN provides exclusive content and articles with never before scene content so viewers can get the news they might not find on other media outlets. I also am able to watch games that are not on TV through there extension ESPN +. 

Tik Tok

Although it may be considered an unconventional news source, TikTok is a very convenient and entertaining way to get news. You can follow your favorite news accounts, making all your preferences appear on your For You Page. TikTok's various video options provide quick or long updates with lengths varying from three seconds, ninety seconds, and ten-minute video uploads. Sometimes, reading long articles can become tedious, so TikTok is an entertaining alternative while still gaining information. 

Family 

Family is another news source for information. This provides a unique way of gathering information because they might look at different articles or news than you usually look at. My parents like to send different articles on various topics related to the world or our lives in general in our family group chat. Most of the time, the articles they send are ones I would never look at or find on my own. 

New York Times 

 The New York Times is another site I look to for information. I have used The New York Times for many classes for current events assignments and know many of my classmates do. They send me daily emails with the most recent articles about current events. The site is easy to use and has all types of articles to read.  The New York Times has a good reputation for accuracy and investigative journalism.
