Top Five Sources of Information

 

1. My first source is Fox News and it's typically the source I use the most. They report relevant and credible information. They have guest speakers that are knowledgable about the specific story. They also tend to report stories that most other networks do not. There is bias as there are many conservative and republican views throughout the entire network. 



2. My second source is CNN which is another major news network. They give information about the major stories both inside and outside the US. They give relevant commentary on the events that are happening. They are a credible source that many people tune into. There is some bias with CNN as they have mostly liberal and democratic views on the network.


3. My third source is Instagram which is one of the most popular social media platforms. It gives a lot of relevant and major stories. It can give good credible information but there can be false and fake news. There are some fact checkers to prevent this but it can still be an issue. It usually has a variety of both conservative and liberal views. It is more used for entertainment and sports news. 















4. My fourth source is Twitter which is another major social media platform. Twitter provides many sources of information that is both conservative and liberal. I don't tend to use Twitter for news other than sports and entertainment personally. It's easy to find major news stories on my twitter feed. It keeps me somewhat informed about what is going on.












5. My last source may come as a bit of a surprise but I use Snapchat from time to time. On snapchat, you have the ability to subscribe to a story and there are some news outlets like NBC, FOX and CNN on snapchat. I tend to watch the NBC to stay informed. It usually lasts between 3 and 4 minutes and it's a good way to keep someone informed without having to watch an hour of the news.
