I find it extremely important, especially in todays day and age, to be caught up and in tuned with what is going on in the world. From politics to weather, its important to be aware of the world around you. Here are five sources that I use in todays world to stay caught up and aware.
The New York Times is one of my most valued sources that I use. I find The New York Times to be so valuable because I have utilized it almost every day since I was very young. At my lake house, my cousins, aunts, and close family, all used to wake up and read a hard copy of The New York Times every morning. This source not only brings some non-biased articles, but it also brings attention to important news that people should be made aware of. Lastly, The New York Times brings factual and background checked information so that the readers can be sure the information they are consuming is correct.
#2 AOL News
Secondly, AOL News is a highly utilized source for me as well. AOL News is second on my list because my personal email is linked to AOL, so when I go to check my inbox I can easily access daily, breaking, and important news. AOL is also a largely reliable and unbiased source that has kept me updated and in the loop for many years now. AOL News also has an option on Iphones to notify you about new news articles that have been posted. This feature is helpful to me because I can see the articles as a notification and read them if I please or if I find the subject important to me and my values.
#3 Google
A third source I use often is Google. I use google every day without fail. Google tells me important information such as what sources are reliable, how to complete every day tasks, and even gives me new recipes to cook for dinner. I use google for almost every question I have on a daily basis, which is why this source is so important to me, not to mention it leads me to other sources such as The New York Times and AOL News.
#4 Instagram
The fourth source I frequently find my information on is Instagram. Usually, I take any serious news I see on this app with a grain of salt because there are lots of false informations sites present on Instagram. However, the news I mainly get off of Instagram that I retain is news about my friends, influencers, companies I follow, as well as my family members who live far away. Although Instagram may not be the best for serious breaking news, its an amazing source that I use to keep up with my friends, family, and connections.
#5 My Mother
Finally, my fifth source that I frequently utilize is my Mother. My Mother can often tell me what is going on for world news as well as science. My Mother is a science teacher in South Burlington, Vermont so she often is very caught up with recent events and scientific breakthroughs. Not only is she updated on recent events but she is also well versed in the things going on with my family as a whole, so I use her as a source for finding out more information on my close and extended relatives since they live in Vermont, Florida, Texas, and Saudi Arabia.
