Top Five Sources of News and Information
#1 Tiktok
My top news source without a doubt is Tiktok. Tiktok is an app that I am constantly on. Although I know Tiktok is definitely not the most reliable source, it is usually a starting point for me. As I am scrolling through my feed I'll watch a video about someone reporting on something happening in the world such as politics, weather, celebrity drama, latest trends, etc. From there I will ask my family their opinion or look it up on a bigger platform.
My second news source would be The New York Times. In High School I remember using the New York Times to get information from their articles. I would use this to help write essays in class. Even to this day my dad will usually email me different articles that he finds interesting. I would consider this the only reliable news source I use. They have a very wide variety of topics that they report on such as politics, world crisis, celebrity news, etc. I also like their style of writing. I think it is very clear and easy to read.
#3. Family
Growing up I remember waking up to the news playing every morning. My family almost always has a show on today. My family and I share similar views on many different things. I always find out things happening in the world through them and then later will fact check it. However I do know that this news is definitely very bias, coming from a family with similar beliefs it's important to look into other platforms as well.
#4. Instagram
Instagram is yet another app that I am constantly on. Although social media isn't always the best source to find news on, many major news platforms do have instagram. Also through seeing what different things friends repost I am able to find out different things that are going on in the world. For example on nine eleven everyone was reposting different posts honoring the day. People also commonly repost different news about celebrity drama and politics. However since many people do have instagram, like celebrities. Most news that people are seeing from their platform is real because it is coming right from them.
#5. Google News
Google news is definitely one of my favorite and reliable news sources. I like google news because if you search up something that you're interested in learning about it gives you multiple different sources. This is a great way to get unbiased sources because it gives you a very wide variety of sources to pick from. It also is very current. Most articles you see are written within the last week or even an hour.
