BLOG #1: My Top 5 News Sources

 In today's world, finding a reliable and unbiased news souce seems like an impossible task. With so much controversey revolving around fake news and the media, it's difficult to follow just one source. Below are some of my favorite news soruces:

SOURCE 1: THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 

The Associated Press News, better known as AP, has been around since 1846. This is personally one of my favorite news sources because it is a very unbiased, independent network. The Associated Press is one of the few news sources that does not feed into party politics. I find this site to cover a very broad range of stories nationally and globally. 

SOURCE 2: THE DISPATCH

The Dispatch is another one of my favorite news sources, because it provides background information  to each story. For example if a story is about capitalism, The Dispatch will have an option to learn what capitalism is and give examples in order to help the reader better understand the article. I also like The Dispatch because it leans a little right, yet still is mostly centered. 

SOURCE 3: THE HILL

Similarly to The Dispatch, The Hill is another great news source that goes really in depth about current topics. Although leaning a little right, The Hill provides great up-to-date information on occuring matters. One of my favorite aspects about The Hill is that the reader can see srticles as they are coming in. This goes to show how proactive they are with gaining information. 

SOURCE 4: THE ECONOMIST

The Economist is a great news source that covers a broad range of topics. A few things I love about the Economist are the weekly editions they provide along with their featured articles and wide range of sections. If I want information soley on China, there is a China tab I can click that brings me to all articles related to the country. If I want information soley on President Biden, there is a tab I can click that gives me every article related to him. I think one of the greatest parts about the Economist is how easy the site is to navigate.

SOURCE 5: THE POST MILLENNIAL

When I am looking for a non-american news perspective, I love to transition over to the The Post Millennial. The Post Millennial covers many of the same news topics as our common US sources except it is from a Canadian perspective. It is nice to see a different perspective every once in a while, and I think The Post Millennial does a great job of describing a variation of stories and topics.
