5 News Sources

New York Times

I know there's always been a lot of talk about the New York Times and the "fake news" they spread but in all seriousness, it is a very reliable and interesting news outlet. I enjoy research articles from their writers and seeing how in depth they go. Understandably, they have not always been creditable about certain pieces they've written, I would still highly recommend them and still continue to read them when I'm looking for information. 

Twitter

Twitter is an interesting way to get your news about our country and the countries around us. The reason Twitter is on this list is due to the "melting pot" of views they have. Comparing them to a major news outlet, Twitter has million upon million users who all view things differently. Not to mention most of the time the information that is being retweeted are articles we wouldn't normally hear about on TV.  Which allows us to be exposed to a variety of information that I enjoy reading about. 

Buzz Feed

If you want to take a quiz that can link you a famous actor or show, Buzz Feed is a go to website. Not to mention the really out of the box stories they write about. I wouldn't say they are always reliable when it comes to information but they do know how to capture a readers interest. Whether it's a story on soup or foods, they know readers will enjoy it. But on the other hand, I would not be referencing them in papers or such in the future. 

The New Yorker

Although its reviews and events listings often focus on the cultural life of New York City, The New Yorker has a wide audience outside of New York and is read internationally. its a very reliable source, but it is a strong read with a lot of stories and essays. If you want to take some time and really dive into research and the city lift, this magazine if your guide. 

USA Today

I normally check this website almost every day, I find it up to date on the latest stories and reliable for people to read. They provide interesting stories about our country and those around us. The journalist also write in a unique way, they help the difficult stories become more understandable to those who aren't well "versed" in political speech.
