My Top 5 Sources of News and Information

The top five new sources I have chosen where I get my news and information are CNN, The Washington Post, TikTok, Instagram, and WXII 12 News.  I chose these five sources because they are my mainstream sources for news. 

CNN is a great news source that I enjoy engaging with. I watch CNN often, because I feel that it gives well-rounded news. I appreciate CNN, because it gives me a better understanding of the current political landscape. CNN is a news source that I engage with every so often, because it has well-rounded news anchors and presents the news in a manner that is easy to understand. CNN also provides perspectives from many different political figures to give their opinions and thoughts.
 

My second news source is the Washington Post . I enjoy the Washington Post, because it is another news source that I feel gives a well-rounded perspective on the world of politics and other issues. I believe the Washington Post also gives an understanding of the political landscape from the perspective of many different journalists. The Washington Post is another source like CNN that provides different perspectives and views on politics and the US government as an entity.

                                              

My third source is TikTok. I understand that TikTok is a social platform, but it has become much more than that. TikTok has also become another news source for me. I use TikTok as a news source because of the many different perspectives that come up on the platform at the swipe of a screen. For example, I have encountered videos about people’s political views, fashion, and lifestyle tips that have been informative and expressive. 

    

My fourth source is Instagram. In the same realm as TikTok, Instagram is a social platform. However, it has grown to be a place to voice your political opinion. Instagram can also be used as a platform to express your opinions in any way a person sees fit or appropriate for themselves. Social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram are important for creating an access point for all people to voice their opinions. 

My fifth and final source is WXII 12 News. WXII 12 news is a local source that I used being from Winston-Salem. WXII is a great source, because it mainly focuses on providing news to the triad area and more specifically Winston-Salem. The local news is important to me, being that I am from the area. I also appreciate WXII for the non-partisan view it has when addressing politics.
