Five Sources of News

 1. TikTok- TikTok is such a big social media platform nowadays. There are always videos on my "For you page" that consistently pop up showing my current events of what is going on in the world.  I follow certain pages that show me the most updated news of what I want to know. Right when something occurs there is always a video that will come upon my page that I can watch. Most of the time I don't even have to search for the most recent news it just is always there. It is really beneficial for me because a social media app that is very entertaining will also teach me a lot about what goes on in today's society. 

2. Instagram- Instagram has been around for a while and was always the app to show posts of different current events going on in the world. There are multiple accounts that are strictly just for the news that I follow so they will always be on my home page when I scroll through the app. Instagram makes it easy for me to know the most updated information. The app has a new feature called "Reels" and it is all video-based content which allows me to also see different news videos going on. Not only does Instagram inform me with pictures with current news, but videos as well. 

3. News app- The News app is very beneficial because when things are extremely important I will get a notification right away on my phone. It is the most convenient app to have on my phone to keep me posted in times of crisis. The second notification appears on my phone it makes me want to read the current situation going on. It is a very educational way for me to learn more about what is going on in the world. I think it is important for college students to be aware of some of the current events taking place in society to keep us safe and protected. 

4. YouTube- YouTube has a lot of videos of literally anything you want to watch in the world. I watch YouTube at any given chance I could get. It has the most updated videos posted on the home screen to keep everyone up to date with today's news. Not only do I learn about the news on this app it has taught me a lot about everything. If I do not know how to do something I quickly type it in the search bar and a ton of videos will demonstrate how to do it. It is a very educational and informative app to show me what goes on on a day-to-day basis. 

5. Fox News- This news channel is a great source to use to find information in today's world. It is always on in my house and there is a lot of time when I am relaxing with my parents we watch the news. It has a lot of updating statistics to catch me up on what is going on. It shows a lot of sides of what people think about certain situations in the world. People have opinions and thoughts, so it is always nice to hear what they have to say about things too. Fox News has helped greatly with keeping me educated and aware of what is occurring around me.
