In the ever changing world its 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, X TikTok, ESPN, and the New York Post
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. Instagram
TikTok
TikTok has become incredibly popular in last several years. It is similar to Instagram in the way that they are both social networking sites as well in their formatting. TikTok also faces the same problem as Instagram with many of the post only including the headline and not any additional information. TikTok is different in the way that it more video based so there are posts that include somebody actually talking and explaining the topic. It is difficult to say which social media platform is better because both platforms are very user friendly. I think TikTok does a really good job of making the news stories a little more engaging with the video aspect. TikTok
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. X
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. All the networks are super accessible with the ESPN app. ESPN is a very entertaining way to keep up with the world of sports. ESPN
New York Post
My last most used news source is the New York Post. The New York Post is a newspaper based in New York City is and was founded all the way back in 1801 by Alexander Hamilton. This news source provides up to date news on all topics. Mostly known for its political and world news its a great source for accurate confident news. The website is super easy to use and includes all of the features to easily find all articles for all topics. New York Post
