Blog Post #1

   Sources that you can depend on for important and crucial information about what's going on in the outside world can be really hard to come by in this day and age. it can be very frustrating to find articles that contain credible information. That is why I have come up with 5 news sources which I personally like and why other people should too. Please note that each source will be linked in the titles and are ranked in no particular order.


1. The New York Times

    When you hear the word “Newspaper,” I’m sure that this is what comes to mind. The New York Times is a classic, reliable, and easily accessible source of information that covers a plethora of topics, from the US and politics to Sports and Health. You can even subscribe to the website for $1 a week and get unlimited access, along with getting the printed newspaper version delivered to your front door. 



2. CNN News

    This news source is also as reliable as the one I previously listed, but not only does it produce credible information covering many topics, but there is a specific website made especially accessible for students called CNN Student News. This site covers a few topics in the length of 10 minutes and was used to help middle and high school kids reach an understanding of important events. I should know since I watched it all through middle school and high school, and it was a great recommendation for history classes.


Google News

    This news outlet is particularly useful when there are certain topics that you’re interested in. Google News uses your news searches in their search engine to bring up new topics based on the algorithm of those searches. This can be a big help to those who want to learn more about a certain topic or event, whether it be for a report or paper a student is trying to write, or just out of interest and curiosity. This site actually helped my interest grow in Health and Sciences that helped make a positive impact on daily life.



NBC News

 

    Why spend so much time trying to read about the latest news events when you can watch them anytime and anywhere? If you don’t have the time to read articles on today’s events, you can catch up with NBC’s 24-hour breaking news coverage. The website still allows you to view and read about other past news from various topics as well, and you can view the news coverage on the NBC TV channel. This is also a great source of info for people who are invested in politics as it provides great political commentary.


NPR News.

    For any and all political lovers out there, this is the best award-winning news source that is fit to satisfy your needs. This website provides many different shows and podcasts that contain great in-depth commentary about certain political topics/events, as well as providing you with a plethora of news articles. This is also a great news source for the radio, so you can listen to it anytime, anywhere, and is accessible to everyone.
