Blog Post #1 Five Top Sources of News and Information

The Wall Street Journal

https://www.wsj.com

The Wall Street Journal is a news source that I would recommend for anyone to receive their news. The Wall Street Journal is well known and reliable. They pride themselves on being fair and objective. They have won many Pulitzer Prizes and the website is easily accessible. At the top of the site there are filters to help guide you to the news that you are looking for as well as a search bar. When I am looking for the most current news the website opens to the most relevant articles to make your search efficient. 

Youtube

Youtube makes accessing news more entertaining. Instead of reading an article I go to Youtube to watch my news in order to get a better understanding of what is happening. Watching the news is more beneficial for me than reading the news for I am a visual learner. With Youtube News I am able to listen and watch. Youtube is great for current events, celebrity scandals and everything in between. It only takes a few key words in the search bar to find different videos about a topic to help entertain and educate.

 

The New York Times

 

https://www.nytimes.com

The New York Times is a daily news source that produces news worldwide. The New York Times is well respected. They produce news from all sides and are classified as a “Newspaper of Record”. The paper has a motto “All News that’s Fit to Print”. The paper makes sure to only give accurate reports of events that are happening each day. I recommend The New York Times as a news source that after reading will leave you well informed.

Google News

“Google it.” is a phrase that is often used by people in today’s society looking for information. Google News is filtered to show you news that is catered towards you. There are a variety of publishers and you will always find an article for the topic you are interested in. I go to Google News when I’m curious. The website never fails to inform me about topics I wasn’t always looking for. The website showcases top stories of the day. There is a section for you, favorites, and search followed by different categories of news. Sports, US, Business… It is all there ready to be read.

The Atlantic

The Atlantic is for people who are “thought leaders”. People looking to expand their knowledge on what is happening in today’s world. One thing I admire about The Atlantic is, if there are different conclusions about an article it gives enough information to make an intelligent opinion from the data given. The Atlantic is easy to find non biased information and news. The Atlantic calls itself “America’s leading destination for brave thinking and bold ideas that matter.”
