When I wake up in the morning, there is a whole world of news waiting for me; with so many outlets to follow, I have my mind narrowed to a select few. There are different news sources which are easily accessible at my disposal, and each are relevant in measure, but each has their own place upon circumstance and levels of importance.
In comparison to other news sources, I find that Stay Tuned on Snapchat is the most accessible and versatile resource to find my news. The information is broken into quick, ten second information jabs that cover large scale hard news to softer updates about global, national and sometimes local occurrences. This is the easiest and fastest way to find a lot of information in a short period of time. Although you may feel as if this is a wonderful way to collect news, it is just as much of importance to make the effort to dive into a deeper understanding of what is being reported by actual journalists.
When the instance of searching for more information, I find myself going online and FOX NEWS or CNN. Though it is well known that each network uphold their own beliefs and political agendas, I have learned it is best to gather as much information as possible from several sources (one source may have information that another chose to leave out, vice versa). It is also a good habit to stay politically aware; as I mentioned before, each news network has their own political agenda and will report stories in a manner which benefits its audience. For instance, in the unfathomable reality where there may be a shooting, one source may cover the immediate need for gun control and firearm policies, the opposing source could write upon the concurrent necessity of mental health awareness and treatment. It is a healthy habit to study both sides of the spectrum so you, as a healthy and active American, can deem your own beliefs and own choices through your own research and not by the influence and bias of those paid to convince you one way or another.
With the abundance controversy in our society, it is also a healthy step to choose to read a source which holds a balanced, factual grip upon new occurrences. Although you can always find some leniency with views, since humans by our nature choose a viewpoint to believe and stand up for, I find that reading either The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal are two highly prestigious sources of information which elaborately relay the news in professional and sophisticated manner.
Every news source has its place in our world, and I believe each are acceptable for any time and place, yet I view that some are more accessible and reasonable per your circumstances; whether for leisure or for research, all news belongs.
