There are many news sources in the world. Whether they are reliable or not, people will always have their own source of news they look at every day. My parents would inform me to watch the news on TV with them, so I did before I went to school in the mornings. However, when I started getting closer to social media, I noticed that there were a lot more places you could find daily news on. I have always found it interesting how there are many different articles or reports on the same story, yet they often present it differently. These are the ones I find most reliable.
1. Fox News
Fox News is my primary source of news for all things politics-related or local stories. I grew up watching it, and I still find myself relying on it for the latest updates, including weather, traffic, and other breaking news. I trust Fox News not only because my family watches it, but also because it is unbiased and is very convenient for local, national, and international news in one channel.
2. ESPN
As someone who is into sports, ESPN has been a great news source since I was younger. ESPN has an array of sports news to look at, including final scores, highlights, trades, and much more. Along with this, they also have a feature where you can select the specific team you wanna look at this for, so I find it easier to see news for the teams that I like. My favorite feature you can use is on the mobile app, where you can look at articles for breaking news as soon as it happens. That way, I can get a detailed look at the information.
3. CNN
Another reliable news source I use is CNN. In one of my middle school classes, we used to watch CNN10 before we started every class period. This provided a simple yet in-depth analysis of events going on around the world. I enjoyed watching this because not only did it go over small stories that aren't usually covered, but it also has a very unique way of covering news by showing how current events relate to historic events.
4. Twitter/X
Twitter is a great way to stay updated on current events from the convenience of your phone. I can do so much as open the app and catch up on any current events from the trending page, or the for you page. One thing I enjoy about Twitter is that you can also share your opinion on whatever post you please, as long as the replies aren't off. The only problem with Twitter is that the news you find can be untrustworthy. There are always people spreading fake news and false information. Throughout the years, Elon has added multiple updates to stop fake news from spreading, including adding community notes. This automatically spots any type of false information and shows the actual one, along with an article to go with it.
5. TikTok
While TikTok is an app used for entertainment, I also find myself finding information about what happens in the world. Its unique search engine and popularity can actually make it a great news source for anybody with a short attention span to look at. This does however, cause some issues. Like Twitter, TikTok also contains people spreading false information. This combats its practical use of various sources with widespread misinformation. Unfortunately, unlike Twitter, it does not provide any type of verification for the accuracy of information, so you have to take it with a grain of salt.
