Top 5 Sources of News & Information
Looking for News sites that I trust and are reliable in 2020, is not as easy as it sounds. In a world where "Fake News" has been so normalized and common, its hard to know what to believe and what not to believe. However, growing up in a small and mostly liberal town, I have come acustom to a few news channels and sites that I go to first when I want information fast, and information that I know is reliable.
- The first site I always go to when looking for information is CNN. The reason I always look at CNN first is that this is a news source I have come accustomed to and a site that I have always found to be reliable. CNN also offers National and International News, and not just local or regional News, which is something that I look for when I need information or want to educate myself on what is going on in the world.
- The second place I look is my local news site, Delaware Online. Because I live in such a small state, Delaware Online News Journal has everything from major DE news to the reason I heard fire trucks in my neighborhood at 3AM. When I need any information about my hometown, this is where I go. If I am driving down the road and see police cars and ambulances go past me, the first thing I do when I get to where I'm going is look on Delaware Online to see what's happening. Delaware Online has been my news source for all things Delaware for as long as I can remember and is something I will always find reliable.
- The third place I look to get news is Good News Network, however, I don't look here for national news or information, I look here when I need a good pick me up or inspiring story. When I did TV production in High School and wrote the news every morning for our shows, I would immediately go to Good News Network when writing national or world news stories so that our show had some positive notes to it to brighten everyone's day.
- The fourth news source I find most trustworthy is NBC News, but more specifically NBC10, which is my local news station. In high school, I met many news anchors and reporters for NBC10 and they inspired me to go into communications, and ever since then, I have had a connection to NBC10 and they have become a news source I find very trustworthy.
- The last news source I find trustworthy is Twitter. Over the past few months with everything happening in this country, I have found twitter as a valuable resource to get information that is not shown on the news, however I am aware that with twitter you must take everything you read with a grain of salt because you never know how accurate it is. However, I find a lot more truths on twitter than anywhere else on the internet.
