In today's world, the web is used for many different things, the main one being the spread of information. The web makes it easier than ever to find the answer to your questions but there is a lot of fake information that is sent around. Here are some of my favorite websites that I get my information from that I trust:
Instagram: Instagram is a good platform for news because it is easy to find accounts that post real news. the difference between Instagram and regular newspapers is that the user can follow accounts they like, meaning the user can find categories they enjoy instead of having to sift through hundreds of articles of subjects they do not really care about.
Washington Post: This is a very forward-thinking news outlet that is for the people, this is the same newspaper that took down Richard Nixon and in the Watergate scandal. They have been a top-three newspaper in America and there is a reason for that, it is because they are trustworthy.
Family and Friends: A majority of the news I learn day today comes from my family and friends. first of my parents watch the news every day and my mom likes to talk so I get to learn all the news and gossip that day. Through social media my friends will send news about subjects we like, most of this comes from either Instagram or Snapchat.
Podcasts: I enjoy music and most importantly the deep dive into different artists' lyrics, I listen to Dissect by Cole Cucina. In this series he takes a deep dive into music, I just finished his series on Childish Gambino's "Because of the Internet". Another Podcast I watch is All the Smoke hosted by past NBA stars Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson who go over everything that has happened in the past week within sports or major events in the media.
TV News Stations: My house back home my parents are always watching the news so in the morning I always get the news and late at night. The main one they watch is FOX 5 so I get my news from them and kinda learn my perspective from them.
