Top 5 Sources of News

 #1 Google

Whether it be to confirm news from another source or to find more information about a topic, I use Google every day. It's where I a wide range of news sites, from large News outlets like CNN to sites like Reddit. I almost always access my information through Google.



#2 Instagram

It's typically as a joke/ meme or a skit that I'll receive news about a current event, and it is usually the fastest way that I receive information, although not the most accurate. When it comes to current events for more pop culture news, like game release dates, voting events, or upcoming shows/movies, it is very useful.



#3 YouTube

When I want an in-depth explanation for a topic Youtube is my go-to. There are often various individuals at any given moment on the platform willing to go over a topic or even live-stream events with various news platforms on the site.



#4 Family and Friends

Usually, my Mom, who occasionally watches Good Morning America or CNN, will tell me about more niche topics that don't come across my feed, like new inventions or policies/laws. Although not always seen as the most relevant or eye-catching, it's very convenient, especially when it comes to something that I wouldn't have ever known about. Convenient as well, with Good Morning America having a segment from local stations.



#5 Apple News

Just a right swipe away from my lock screen, Apple News has a wide range of current topics. Although I don't typically read the articles, it is very convenient when it comes to News and more trending topics. Unlike most platforms It isnt currated specially for a target audience but rather the wide range of individuals who use Apple and its products. An honorable mention as well for the weather app.
