Blog Post #1- Top Five Sources of News and Information

1. My family has a strong habit of turning on NBC News regularly, as it tends to be the first channel that comes up when we turn on the TV. This had become a daily routine. I’ve also found myself relying on NBC News for class projects and homework. Every morning as I head downstairs for breakfast, I can count on my dad to have NBC News playing. Whether we’re cooking in the kitchen, enjoying a meal, or simply sitting all down together, NBC News is often on in the background. The only time we skip it is during lunch since the kitchen usually gets too crowded and noisy for us to focus on the broadcast. Overall, NBC News has become part of our family life, providing us with the last east updates while creating a sense of togetherness. 


2. Whenever I begin working on research papers in high school or, in college, I find myself turning to The New York Times website as my primary source of information. There’s something about the information that they write about that makes me feel confident and I sometimes always find accurate and relevant content for any topic I choose. Even when I am not actively using it for school projects, I still enjoy exploring the articles while relaxing in bed or traveling in the car. No matter what, there always seems to be something that intrigues me in The New York Times that captures my attention and keeps me informed about the world around me. 


3. Growing up, Fox News was another major source of information for me, largely, because it was always on at my grandparents house. Every time I would spend the night there, I noticed that it was a common channel that my grandparents would watch. As soon as I turned on the TV, Fox News was usually the first channel that appeared. I can remember sitting on the couch, listening to the news report and discussions while my grandparents shared their thoughts about current events. It became a kind of routine for me. Watching it not only helped me understand different things about the news but it made me engage with my grandparents more. Overall, Fox News played a significant role in media and news, especially during those cozy weekends at their house. 





4. As a college student ESPN is a crucial source for me not only for checking scores in sport games but also the cultural conversations that happen during sport games. I love watching the latest highlights especially in soccer and in volleyball because those were the main sports I played throughout my whole high, middle and lower school life. The platform has easy access to broadcasts that are sometimes live and I always get the chance to watch it. Every time there was a game for solver or volleyball and I am in school I sometimes so not have the chance to watch the games so I always wait till I get home and every time ESPN has it on there highlights it brightens my day. As well as ESPN has many analyses that lead to engaging with other people which can lead to making new connections with others. 

5. Being in college as a freshman I sometimes like to check out the news about money and how other businesses are doing. It gives me a source of help when I want to learn about the stock market and what is going on in today’s economic society. This might be important for when I want to get a real job. CNBC has very good articles that teaches me many things, this makes it enjoyable for me to explore new topics about finance that people do not always talk about. CNBC is a great way to learn about money and although finance or business is not my major I still enjoy learning about it because I still need it for my future.
