Top #5 Sources of News and Information (Post 1)

Where do we get accurate news information without aspects of information altered? As a young man growing and maturing I have come to the realization that staying up to date with news and information is a very prominent aspect of life. But it is very tricky to be able to trust the sources that this information is coming from. As many different media outlets have different opinions on different events that take place. My top 5 new and information outlets are Fox News, The New York Times, MSNBC, Instagram, ESPN. With these five outlets I believe I am able to rectify any concerns/ ideas I may have on what is happening in the world on any given day. 


Click here to open: Fox News

Fox news has been in service for 28 years now to date. Fox news provides up to date information regarding what is happening in the world on that day. They hold a momentous amount of information about U.S politics, that is key for viewers to adhere to. Fox News interviewers that are required to provide information are usually in attendance in important informational meetings and events that is keen for viewers to keep up with. Fox news also has hosts that are very professional with a background more focused on conservative point of views. With the more conservative outlook on information this attracts only a certain demographic of people. In this instance people that view Fox News may not be very adamant about their biases towards other news providers but they like to be fed the information that aligns with their beliefs. 



Click here to open: The New York Times

The New York Times provides information daily via newspaper and online sources. The New York Times has a strong heritage dates back to 1851. Despite the title of the company The New York Times does not just cover New York it also covers national and international news, along with opinion pieces, investigative reports and reviews. Since a dense part of the population within the United States resides in the north east most individuals cater to this news source for daily updates. Few events ever go unseen by The New York times. This is what makes them a quite credible source for the 10,360,000 users. 




Click here to open: MSNBC

MSNBC has quite the mix of emotions when covering daily news. It appears that MSNBC does not lean one way or another in the political field. But it seems like the main stories that are presented by MSNBC are all about U.S politics. This incurs that if an individual wants to keep up with some of the political drama here in the U.S then this media outlet would be best fit. It is quite hard to find other major headlines dealing with over sea adversaries or even national problems the U.S face. There are rarely any to no stories about any good that is happening within the country leading it to be a very depressing news source. If one wishes to pursue and keep up to date with the drama and craziness of MSNBC then it is highly recommended. 



Click here to open: Instagram

Instagram is not a typical news media outlet. With Instagram one might have to follow/ show interest in certain topics that appeal to that user. Without doing some digging into the topics an individual may not come across the desired news and media they are looking for. In cases that a user does follow and stay up to date with information regarding what they want to listen to it can be a very useful source. One may attain information directly from news sources or tangible information that a certain person that made a statement that affects the outcome for many people withing a community or nation. A user can also hear many different opinions about the outcomes of certain events that may take place. So Instagram is a very resourceful platform for users to hear options or even hear information right from the source. 


Click here to open: ESPN

ESPN it known throughout the world. ESPN is the largest sports media broadcaster in the world. They constantly keep users updated in most to all sports all around the world. They also hold informational press conferences regarding athletes and the management of teams. The revenue brought in from sports have to give thanks to ESPN due to the wide broadcasting of these sporting events because without them not many people would follow along with certain athletes or teams. They provide great data anylsis breakdowns of games at collegiate through professional career.
