Top 5 News Sources

1.) Google News

My main source for information and news. It is reliable because of the numerous trusted sources it provides. I can trust google news to provide me the most recent and biggest events occurring across the world. You will commonly find the same story appearing on various sources. This provides you more perspectives and information so you can see the big picture.

2.) TikTok

TikTok provides short form videos and slides as their main form of media. It also only takes a few minutes to post a TikTok video, so news and other important information find their way onto your feed fast. Another positive aspect is that you can build your own feed by taking advantage of its algorithm. However, one of the only downsides to TikTok is it can sometimes be untrustworthy since anyone can post a video. You'll get your news fast, but it is also important to double check if the information is true.

3.) Instagram

Similar to TikTok, Instagram's main form of media is its short form videos and slides. It is a reliable source to turn to when searching for recent news. There are many big name news sources who post on Instagram, but like TikTok. Anyone can post on Instagram, so just make sure to double check all information. It also very accessible to anyone who wants to use it.

4.) X (Twitter)

Many major news sources and political figures use the X as their main platform. You are also able to follow specific sources so your feed is tailored to your interests. The platform also  allows users to see a variety of perspectives on the same story, which can help them better understand different viewpoints.

5.) CNN

I use CNN because it is a reputable news source who employ trained journalists who follow professional reporting standards and fact checking procedures. The network provides coverage of both domestic and international events through a large team of correspondents and experts. CNN's reporting often includes multiple sources, interviews, and detailed analysis, which help me better understand complex issues. CNN is the most trustworthy out of the 5.
