BLOG POST #1


In today's world, it is hard to not find any piece of information unless you are off the grid completely. Besides the typical conversations, we are in a society that heavily relies on being informed through various media channels like television and social media. As well as, evolving technology, and niche content pages. Below are the five news sources I use to receive information. 



The Washington Post is an American newspaper known for its in-depth journalism and coverage of national and international news. I started to use The Post from my case study with the American Marketing Association and have used its email updates ever since to find out information. Besides using it for my education, I personally enjoy this source due to its extensive coverage of current events to get multiple perspectives on a wide range scale. 


The Cable News Network (CNN) is a multinational news channel and website. CNN is a reputable 24-hour news network, making it easy to stay informed about a wide range of topics. CNN is also very convenient and accessible through its multimedia news coverage. This includes live feeds, articles, and videos. 




TMZ is a tabloid news organization that is owned by Fox Corporation. It offers exclusive access to the biggest stories in celebrity and entertainment news. This source of entertainment is highly shareable and interactive through various channels, including videos and articles. I prefer TMZ as my source of entertainment news due to its ability to share breaking news before anyone else. 



The New York Times is a daily newspaper based in New York City, featuring live news, investigations, opinions, photos, and videos by the journalists of The New York Times from more than 150 countries around the world. I prefer the NYT since I am from New York but, besides that, this is a very credible and valuable news source. I also like the NYT since they offer a college discount and digital access.

 



TikTok is, is a short-form video hosting service, where users submit videos ranging from 15 seconds to 10 minutes long. Anyone can upload information, sometimes true and sometimes false so, it is hard to find credibility at times. Typically, with videos sharing the same information on a specific topic, the information is true. What I like about TikTok is that it is now a short form of YouTube, where I can find anything from makeup tutorials to lifestyle videos or even recipes.  TikTok is a platform where you can see current global news, typically as a first-hand account which is interesting to me.
