My Top 5 News Sources

  In the ever changing world it's important to always stay up to date with news globally. News has become more and more available due to the advancements in technology. Unfortunately, this also means that there has been an increase of false news. Its difficult to be able what is reliable and whats not so you just have to stay diligent and review more than one news source. All the news that I follow are very different and all unique in their own way. My top five news sources are:


 Instagram 

Instagram is traditionally thought to be social networking site but with the over 2 billion users many of them are news pages. The different news pages vary dramatically with all them covering different things in different ways. Instagram is really good for the fastest information in my opinion because it is very easy to make a post and there are so many users so companies try to break the news there first. I follow several news pages on instagram including all the major news companies. Instagram biggest problem is that there are maybe too many news accounts on the app and many of them are incredibly unreliable. Also, on instagram most people only read the headline and the article that is linked to the post. This can alter somebody perspective because they are only reading the headline rather than digger deeper to know more by reading the actual article.


YouTube

YouTube offers videos on almost every topic imaginable, from news and education to entertainment, sports, and music. I use YouTube often to watch creators, tutorials, and live streams, and I follow channels that match my interests. It’s easy to stay up to date with trending videos and personalized recommendations. YouTube is accessible on phones, computers, and smart TVs through the app and website.



X

    X is another social networking site but is a little more established than Instagram and TikTok. X, formerly known as Twitter is mainly just thoughts and feelings people share. In the individual posts people mainly did not add more than two sentences.  News sources use their X accounts to provide photos and links to their news stories. X has been known to be a very controversial platform because many people have engaged in heated arguments. This has actually caused people to stay away from the platform. X is one of the best for having a short and condensed version of the news.

ESPN

    As a large sports fan its natural for to closely follow an all sports news network. ESPN does a great job of covering all sports from football to cricket. I follow ESPN on all social media sites as well as frequently check the website. They provide up to date news on all sports as well as keeps a log of a lot game scores and seasons. ESPN also has several TV channels that feature live games, news, and talk shows. ESPN is a very entertaining way to keep up with the world of sports.


Fox News


As someone who follows current events closely, it’s natural to keep up with a major news network like Fox News. Fox News covers a wide range of topics including politics, business, world news, and opinion programming. I follow Fox News on social media and regularly check the website for breaking news and updates. They provide timely coverage of national and international events, along with analysis from various commentators. Fox News also operates multiple TV channels that feature live news broadcasts, interviews, and talk shows throughout the day. With the Fox News app and website, their content is very accessible. Fox News is a widely used source for staying informed about current events.
