CNN: https://www.cnn.com
CNN stands for “Cable News Network” (CNN). However, I’m not sure at times how accurate their information is. I do like how efficient they are with getting their news out. I like being able to get breaking news fast. I actually get notifications on my phone and laptop from CNN daily. Therefore, this helps keep me aware of what’s going on in the world, and what I should read more about. After discussing in class how some sites don’t offer the most accurate information, I am determined to explore news options and stop only relying on CNN. Although, I really do like the variety of news CNN has to offer. Such as sports, health, weather, etc.By having a variety of news outlets It makes it easy for me to choose what kind of area I want to explore and read more about. I also really like how colorful their website is, and how it includes various images. As a reader, this makes the news more exciting and more appealing to the eye. I would recommend CNN because of its versatility. It has many options for viewers and is a good source if you want quick brief information.
ESPN: https://www.espn.com
Another news source I often access is ESPN. ESPN stands for “Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (Support ESPN). Throughout my childhood I was heavily involved in sports. I participated in basketball, field hockey, and lacrosse. I especially loved watching sports. I always cheered on my teammates and watched many college and professional games at home with my parents. ESPN is a great news outlet, if you're a sports lover like me. This news source broadcasts specific sporting events, up to date scores, and sporting news. I especially love how it offers a variety of sports events that major networks don’t carry. ESPN truly has something for everyone! My two favorite sports leagues to watch on ESPN are the NFL and NHL. This year I actually purchased ESPN + to be able to watch the HPU sports team compete! I am looking forward to March Madness to begin and can’t wait to stay up to date with the help of ESPN! I feel ESPN is a good source because its main focus is world wide sports. If you’re a sports fan ESPN is a must!
Portland Press Herald: https://www.pressherald.com
Being from Maine, I like to keep informed on what’s happening at my home state when I'm away at school. The Portland Press Herald is a local Maine newspaper. It publishes daily news reports for the Southern Maine Area. At home, I am able to find the daily Portland Press Herald at local convenience stores, online, or home delivery. I Like the Portland Press Herald because it's extremely accessible. As I said earlier, I was heavily involved in high school sports. I read the Portland Press Herald in high school to be informed on various teams scores and players to watch for upcoming games. Today, you can find several past articles written about my high school team at North Yarmouth Academy and the successful season we had together. Today, I use the Portland Press Herald to keep updated on weather conditions and daily state and federal news! It helps me keep up on what's happening at home. I think it’s important for us to stay engaged with our local state news while also educating ourselves on what’s happening around the world! I feel this is a highly credible source and is a great read if you’re interested in learning more about the state of Maine!
ABC News: https://abcnews.go.com
ABC News is another news source which I use to help keep me informed on what’s happening in today’s world. At home, my family and I watch ABC news together. I appreciate how like other various news sources, it offers 24/7 streaming. Therefore, I can constantly tune in and hear breaking news and various stories. I also like on the ABC News website if you scroll down the page you can see the various news programs they offer. Good Morning America especially is one show I like to watch. I find ABC does a good job providing news in an unbiased manner. I especially enjoy a good mystery. Therefore another one of my favorite investigative news programs on ABC is 20/20.
NBC News: https://www.nbcnews.com
One of my go to news outlets is also NBC News. NBC is a great source if you want detailed and compelling new stories. Just like ABC News, NBC offers live updates which you can tune in at any given time. Some of my favorite journalists are found on the Today Show and the Evening news. I liked exploring their website and watching top news videos of the day. I found the top videos of the day very entertaining and eye opening. As a student I know reading long news articles can be tiring at times, so having the option to watch quick and informational videos is a great source of information. Dateline is yet another investigative program I find interesting and informative. I do sense NBC news leans slightly on the liberal side. I find more and more news sources are beginning to report with certain influences. This is something I believe news sources need to be careful of and try to report just the facts.
