The digital age has brought about an abundance of news sources, expanding citizens' accessibility to the events that occur at any given moment. With this overwhelming amount of information comes the need to decipher which sources are credible in their recounts. These sources are my choices at informing me of the events that take place around the world.
I am subscribed to The Daily Wire, which serves to inform me of the current political discourse. The Daily Wire is a right-leaning news source, so I must pick through the content as unbiased as possible, so that I can extrapolate an opinion on the topics for myself. An article that exemplifies their traditional content is “Trump Begins Presidency as a Crypto Billionaire with ‘Meme’ Coins.” Check that out Here.
Another news source I consume is The Wall Street Journal, who sends out free emails with mini-bios of current world events. By reading these emails, I feel more in the know about economic trends, political events, and foreign affairs. These quick excerpts allow me to feel up to date without spending too much time digging into it. The image displayed shows an example as to how the email newsletter is set up.
Another way I get my news and information is through google scholar. As a student, I have had several projects in the past years requiring academic papers as the main source of information, which has translated to my personal use of academic papers to inform me on topics of any interest. By reading through academic papers, I can hold confidence in the information I am researching because of the authors’ educated perspective. An example of this is an article I read, “How Effective is a Mask in Preventing COVID-19 Infection?” Check that out Here.
Another source of information for me is through Fox News. I use this source the least, comparatively speaking. However, it does introduce potentially intriguing events that I look at closer. An example of this is the article “Deadly 1,500-mile paralyzing winter storm blankets South in Snow from Texas to Florida.” Check that out Here.
Finally, I use social media as a source of news and information. While this is not a trusted source, it does expand my perspective by informing me of cultural trends, events, and a vast set of opinions. The type of content varies, covering a multitude of topics. I would recommend this as a source of news and information because of its ability to show you so much content about any given topic that you find intriguing.
