My Top 5 Sources of News 


WBAL TV 11 NEWS 


    I live in Baltimore, Maryland and one our main news channels in WBAL TV 11 News. It is the main source of news that I get from the television rather than any other TV news channel. This is a good source of news because it will keep my updated about the things happening in my neighborhood and around me in my city. I have always gotten my news from here and my high school has been shown on this news channel before. It is a very local news channel but still reliable in Baltimore. 

CNN 


    CNN is my main source of information when I am online. I sometimes go and watch the little news videos to catch up on some of the main topics in the world today. I used CNN to help me find information on some of the Presidential election and the capital riots when they were happening. I also used it to find information for a research paper that I had to do for my english class on the Black Lives Matter movement and it helped me find a lot of useful stories to incorporate. 

Fox News 


    I watch fox news on television and I read it online. This is a main source of where I get my news from because it shares news from all over the country so unlike WBAL, I can get news that isn't just local to me. Sometimes it has been known that Fox News can give false information but for the most part it is reliable and I make sure to fact check the stories before I use them in any form of school assignment, but it is a fun source of news if I am just trying to stay up to date with the world. 

The New York Times 

    New York Times is another great source that I use for assignments in school, like for my research project, or my analytical essay in my english class. It gives good and reliable information. It gives good information on the majority of the major things happening in the world, including the statistics on the distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine. It is one. of my favorite things to read because of all the interesting topics and it presents it in and it is easy to understand. 

Instagram

      As a teenager in the 21st century, social media is a very prominent source of news in my life and can provide me with knowledge on a topic in a different way. I am on social media majority of the day when I am on my phone and Instagram has become an outlet where memes and stories come out on social media in a very approachable and absorbable way. This and snapchat stories is where I get most of my news when it comes to social media.
