My Top 5 Sources of News

1. Instagram: 

Unfortunately, I spend so much time on Instagram that it is my most common source of news. Most of the news I care about is sports-related and I follow many different sports accounts on Instagram so I find out whatever I want to know quickly each day just by opening the app. Instagram is very efficient for showing you what you want to know because of its algorithm. If you pay attention to the posts of an account regularly they will pop up first when you open the app, so by always looking at the same sports account they keep me updated on news I'm interested in. 

2. ESPN:  

I watch a lot of NBA and NFL along with College football, and ESPN is the best way to keep up with players and teams. I also use it to figure out my fantasy football lineups when a player's status is questionable. ESPN has articles about everything sports and is the most reliable sports media platform. ESPN constantly has new articles about different players and teams and it makes it very easy to keep up with what's going on in sports.  

3. YouTube: 

YouTube is good because videos allow a more in-depth understanding of any subject. YouTube is good for every kind of news political or sports that I would want more information about. News can also come in the form of sports highlights which show you what happened in a team's last game. This information can help you better understand how a team might look for the rest of a season and as someone who follows sports, this news is important to me. You can also find any form of political news on YouTube that you want. YouTube is the best platform for going in-depth on news in my opinion. 

4. Family:

I am very close with my family but do not follow current events as closely as they do. So if something happens in the news I will usually hear about it from them first. It will either be my mother or grandmother who tells me first because they are the most focused on current events. They typically assume I have heard this news as they have and want to talk about it. So when I do not know what they are talking about they fill me in on the recent news I have missed, and that is why my family is a good source of news. 

5. Fox News:   

I very rarely watch the news, but if I do it is with my grandparents when I visit them. I learn a lot when I watch the news, so even though it is not often I would say Fox News is a reliable source of news for me. Everyone in my family votes conservative so naturally, they watch conservative news. When I was a younger kid I didn't see why the two political parties hate each other so much, but as time has passed and the left has gone further off the deep end it makes more sense to me.
