I typically go to Instagram first when looking for news. It is easy to follow along with events happening because others have the ability to share news updates on their stories, which are assessable with just a click. Also, many of the major news broadcasts like the New York Times, CNN, or Fox have accounts and post their own news updates which you can turn notifications on for. I would recommend Instagram for those who do not find reading whole news articles ideal, as posts are normally shown as pictures with a brief summary of the story as the caption.
My second option for news is TikTok, I don't normally seek out news on this platform but due to the for you page news stories come to my attention. Unlike Instagram even if you don't follow news outlets or other sources of information, articles and stories are still likely to enter your feed. Another benefit of TikTok is that the videos provide entertaining quick summaries of long articles that some may not have the time to read or may be bored by. This platform also provides an easy way to search for news as a way to double check the credibility of the source while remaining on the app. I would recommend TikTok as and eas
y and entertaining way to intake the news.
I use The Roanoke Times as a way to be in the know about my hometown. I like this news source because it stays on topic of local issues, which helps me to know what's new, or coming, in the city. This news outlet provides detailed items about a specific place, which helps when you only want to hear about what's near you. I recommend everyone to check a local news site when looking at news, it keeps you up to date on the up and coming things happening near you.
Another news source I use is ESPN. It provides news on a generalized topic making it easy to use when looking for updates on just sports, or sport adjacent topics. It also provides real time score updates to games actively happening. This makes it an easy way to find articles and updates on one platform with a specific goal in mind. I would recommend ESPN to anyone looking for news on the topic of sports with the use of the ESPN app or the television network for ways to intake the news whether on the go quickly or at home with time for the full story.
Google News:
Last, is Google News, I do not typically use Google News as often as the others, but I do believe it is a good source to get unbiased news, as they report on everything. Google News is also unique as it provides articles from multiple different websites and sources, making it an easy to way to find news from all sources in one easy to use location. It also has tabs for local news based on the location the user is currently in. Meaning whether at home or vacation you can view the news including the weather at one location. I would recommend Google News as a centralized news source for all topics and outlets.
