Five Personal Sources Of News

When I was younger, my parents always told me to watch the news along with them. I always thought there were other ways of finding out whats going on in the world besides watching it live on tv, So I took to other methods. My knowledge on sources has expanded since then, as I have found multiple news sources that people like me use every day. 

Twitter/X

Every two days or so, I open twitter to see what is happening in the world. I believe it is a great way to keep up with current news whether it be politics, drama with celebrities, and so on. I enjoy using this because not only is it a news source, but it is also a place where I can see other opinions on topics such as those I already named. Although it is a helpful source, it is sometimes unreliable to trust whether the news is correct or not. With the amount of updates being added to twitter nowadays, it is easy to spot when somebody is spreading fake news/information. 

TikTok

TikTok is known for being a source of entertainment, however it still holds power to spread information about the world. Whether that information is true or not feels like a gamble, since it seems as if everyone likes to spread false information nowadays. I think one of the most unique parts of TikTok is how anyone can make an account and become a content creator. Although this is also a great source, it also has loads of misinformation on the website as well, and unlike twitter, you can't go to an article on the app to check if it's true or not.
