My Top 5 Sources

                        Here are my personal top 5 sources of news and information that I like to use.

1. CNN. I really like using CNN because it is a really reliable news source that is very up to date on all the latest news in various topics. CNN is most notably known for their news on politics, but they cover everything in between from food, to entertainment, to fashion, to stocks, and so much more. I have also used CNN in many scholastic researches, and it has proved to be a valuable source time and time again.  If you want to be reliably up to date on everything happening in the world, I recommend using CNN. 
   
   
   
2. Twitter. No I'm not calling it "X". You can't make me. Despite the name change, Twitter can be pretty useful sometimes as a source of news and information. I find that it covers areas such as entertainment with a different lens that a source like CNN would not usually cover in that way. Being a social media platform, there is not much credibility to it, but they do get news and information accurate now and again. I personally think Twitter works best as a news platform that has all information taken with a grain of salt. It may not be the most reliable platform, but it is definitely the most interesting.
   
   
   
   
3. Instagram. Similar to Twitter, Instagram is a social media platform that has information and news on varying topics. I find Instagram to be more entertaining than Twitter, as I actually use Instagram and barely touch Twitter. Bias aside, there is not anything too different about Instagram compared to Twitter that would make me pick one over the other. I just find Instagram to be a mainly entertaining social media platform that I prefer to use over Twitter for news and information.
   
   
   
   
4. NBC. NBC is once again, a very reliable news and information source that is constantly up to date. I grew up watching a lot of NBC news, and it is the reason I was able to keep up with current events. NBC usually gets a lot of personalities such as celebrities and politicians to share their own perspectives on current events or information on future events. This makes their news and information a lot less one-sided and gives more personality to processing this information. Whether it is from "The Today Show", or "NBC Nightly News", NBC is constantly reporting news for the public to process, retain, and enjoy.
   
   
   
   
5. New York Times. The New York Times is one of the oldest news sources I grew up with and it is still very reliable to this day. Compared to the other news and information sources I have talked about, The New York Times is the only source that is available in print. Being a newspaper, it reaches people like seniors, who still very much use newspapers as their main source of news and information. Part of that is just how reliable they are after a digital age where social media and online news outlets usually reign supreme. The New York Times will still be special to me as it is as simple as information and news processing gets. There is nothing extra with The New York Times, just good, old fashioned news.
