Blog# 1 - My Top News Sources

Hello everyone!

1. Youtube
I personally love watching youtube because there are so many different sources of news and information that you can get from watching different You-tubers that get their information from other sources. I like to click on the trending tab to see what everyone is watching.

2. Adweek
I have never used this site, but it was recommended by my professor that i look into it. i mainly get information from my family, so i cant tell the full credibility of this site yet. check it out for yourself.

3. SavetheReef (instagram)
I rarely watch the news but ill sometimes look up events if i see it on social media. such as when i use instagram, i can see so many different types of events that are happening in the world that regular media wouldn't have even bothered posting.

4. Snopes
Snopes is another website where i can access articles to fact check if they are telling the truth or lying. its very helpfull to me because sometimes i will find something on instagram or youtube and think to myself there is no way this could be true. I always fact check my work and make sure that i am reading the truth rather than complete fed lies.

5. Snapchat
Finally, the last form of news that i use is snapchat. although at times it can be certainly inaccurate, sometimes the stories and media is all i need to get on with my day. Snapchat is an app where you can send photos to your friends and message them. snapchat is not only used for that, its also used for news media outlets. I log on everyday and look at what it has to offer.
