With the addition of the internet, online news has become a beacon for people of all ages to learn and explore new things about the world around them. We turn to many different sources that provide information to us in an instant, and what source we use can depend on many different factors, such as our age, political and economic status, ethnicity, etc. Listed below are my top five sources of news and information:
Google is first on my top five sources of news and information mainly because I use Google every single day, whether that be for looking at school assignments, shopping on Amazon, or just looking up anything that comes to mind. I learn that Google to be quite accurate when finding news and information, especially when it comes to delivering relevant results. Also, if I want to read about a current news story, I can simply type in exactly what I want, and Google will give me a variety of sources from different news websites. Using Google Scholar is also very useful and provides me with many scholarly authors and a wide variety of articles. If anyone has never used Google before, I would highly recommend doing so in order to personalize your search and get news in an instant.
#2 Instagram
Instagram is second on this list, and like Google, I use Instagram every day. Since 2010 when Instagram was released, it has changed in many ways, especially with the new addition of "reels," which are short videos that can be compared to those on TikTok. I enjoy scrolling through Instagram to see what is new in terms of celebrities, cooking, innovations, etc. I would recommend this social media app to not only connect with friends, but also to learn something new about what is going on around you.
#3 Fox News
Fox News is another source of news and information that I look to. Although I do not use this source as often as some of the others on this list, I still believe it is a good place to find current news about politics. I enjoy watching Fox News with my parents, especially when there are big political events or elections that are taking place. Since I am still relatively young, I mostly enjoy obtaining news through other sources such as Google because sometimes political topics can be overwhelming. However, I will still recommend someone to Fox News because people trust it as their main source of political news.
#4 Mail
Last but not least, the fifth source of news and information on my list is the mail. Mail is still very important today, as we need it for many things like delivering packages, bills, letters, cards, etc. Much of the mail that I receive is either from family members or important letters from my school, and I still really enjoy the process of receiving mail and then opening the package/letter.
#5 Family and Friends
While most of these sources are online, getting news and information from family members and friends mainly takes place in person. I love to catch up with my family and friends to see how they have been doing and learn about what is going on in their life. It is refreshing to talk with them face-to-face and is a nice break from the digital world. I would highly suggest taking the time to talk with family and friends, especially so you can grow in your relationships.
