My Top 5 News Sources

The Associated Press

The Associated Press (AP) is one of my top news sources due to its independence and reliability. When I am looking for a trustworthy, or otherwise undiluted from any one political party news source, The AP is where I go. The AP has been around for nearly 2 centuries and has even reported on the American Civil War, helping prove both credibility and longevity. I believe being able to watch a news source that delivers raw, unbiased information, is something rare and important, especially today where we see major news presses delivering biased and selective information they provide to millions on a daily basis. 

Social Media 

Social media is a great place for people to connect, discuss, debate or just post about anything from political, to sports, or information about the world, the possibilities are endless. Allowing people to comment on posts gives them the ability to discuss many different topics with people from around the entire world, with a multitude of different backgrounds and point of views. The ample amount of point of views is something I will always treasure about social media,
being able to hear and understand every one's side is a very valuable aspect of social media.

Fox News

Fox News was always on when I was a child, and still today when I come home from HPU. I have learnt to grow fond of the people I constantly saw on the television and have found some sort of comfort in them delivering news to me. I often find myself scrolling through Fox articles and have learned to trust what they have to say. Fox News reports on everything from America, world news, sports, health, business and so much more. Their wide variety of options is a great way to easily access information. 

The New York Times

This is another news source that I have come to love because of my family. My parents would constantly send me and my brother articles from The NYT and as time went on, I began to enjoy how well-researched and thought their reporting is. The NYT covers everything from national breaking news to in depth around the world stories. One aspect I love about them is the prior context they give to their journalism, it helps me get a quick basis of what I am going to read, hence giving me the deeper understanding that the author intends without second guessing my prior knowledge. The NYT has a long history of trust and credibility, with extensive and rigorous fact-checking. I know that when I am reading the NYT I can trust the information I am retaining which is something I will always cherish in this day and age. 

BBC News

BBC News is my personal favorite international news source. I believe having and understanding of the world, and the state of the countries not only around us, but everywhere, is extremely important, and that is why I often find myself on it. BBC News is a mostly factual news source in regard to the United States, its unbiased articles give me great insight as to the state of our country not having to worry about political party influence. BBC is also great for international news, as it is a British news source, helping me learn and understand the rest of the world. Without BBC News, I probably would not have heard of half of what I have around the world, and that is why it will always be a credible and reliable news source to me.
