My Top Five News Sources

My Top Five News Sources 

It is so important to know what is going on in the world. I check news sources regularly and always fact check to be confident in my knowledge of current events. It always makes it so much easier to trust your source and know that you are getting reliable information that matters. Here are a few of my favorite news related sources:

1. Apple News

Like many in my generation, I always have my phone on me and use it every single day. The Apple News App is one of my favorite news sources because it contains all of the magazines and newspapers you love on the go and with you everywhere you take your iPhone. With over 300 publications to choose from as well as Apples' own source of news media, you are able to find any and all types of news. I always turn on notifications for my favorite publications so I never miss a thing. They also offer an option to listen to the news via podcasts. Subscription is not necessary but is worth it if you are willing to invest the money.

2. The New York Times 

The New York Times is a recognizable news source to many. One of the main reasons I am so fond of it is the fact that it is a reliable world wide news source that covers international stories and events from more than 150 countries around the world. International news is important because it provides information beyond our own personal knowledge and is such an overlooked privilege to understand what goes on in countries other than the one we live in. The New York Times can be accessed free of charge but subscriptions are available for additional accommodations such as podcasts and even newspaper deliveries. 

3.  Forbes

Forbes is a well renowned business news source that features finance articles about investments, marketing, and well-known professionals with high net-worths. As a college student, I love browsing this website and learning about celebrity business owners and their stories. This is a very educational news source but its also entertaining and inspiring to deepen understanding on financial investments and money making skills. In addition to this, they also provide news on pop-culture such as articles about movies/ tv shows, highest paid actors, awards rewarded to famous singers, and so much more. I appreciate this news source as it keeps me in the loop with current events and even Netflix releases. This is also a source available to everyone but subscriptions, if desired, provides "member-only" events, all access news, as well as interruption free with less ads. 

4. Fox News

When it comes to politics, news outlets are constantly updating the people with current events. Especially in today's world and with elections coming up it is important to stay up to date with what is going on in terms of politics. Fox News is biased, however it does share current political important information on what is going on within the Unites States as well as our relations with other countries and political issues that we are dealing with abroad. I enjoy watching Fox News on the TV but I also do once in a while review articles from my Apple News app on my iPhone. It is a great source to become more politically knowledgable and be able to understand the constitutional republic that we live in. Like the other news sources, this is free with an option to subscribe and have live news on the go.

5. BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed is a source that contains an abundance of media. Whether it be breaking news, food recipes, DIY projects, or even everyday life hacks, BuzzFeed has it all. This is a somewhat lighthearted news source that is more entertaining than the others and I enjoy watching their videos, reading the articles, and even taking their BuzzFeed quizzes. Their focus on digital media and pop-culture is a great source of clear and precise information that may add to your personal problem-solving skills as well as keep you in the loop with current trends. BuzzFeed has content throughout social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, Youtube, and much more. Subscriptions are available for exclusive content and they even send you merchandise when you sign up!
