Top 5 Sources


 1.     New york times 

New York Times is my go to for current events, they cover polotics, science, culture, etc.  The articles go deep and provide a lot of context that make complicated stories easier to comprehend.  The New York Times also covers both United States and international News.

2. Family and friends

This is a common concept, but a lot of the opinions and insights I get about current events, polotics, etc are from my family and friends. My parents especially, keep me up tp dare about any changes or events back home, while I am away at school.  Talking to my friends allows me to hear different prespectives on big events and polotics as well as expanding my knoweledge about something I may have not known or thought of before.

4. Instagram

Instagram is something that I find myself on a lot.  I often scroll past current events, stories, trends, etc from all over the world.  Instgram provides quick visual updates through stories and posts. Although it may not always be true it brings attention to the subject and then I can further my research or fact check it.  It is always an easy way to connect with other people and get quick information.

5. Tik Tok 

This may be conterversial but TikTok is one of those apps that I find myself scrolling on for hours. I know it's not the best use of my time but I definitely pass by a lot of political interviews,  News stories,  Influencers sharing their opinions etc.  It provides quick content on almost any topic, however it can be very unreliable because anyone can post anything so I always have to fact check
