My Daily News

I normally get my news online, visiting official sites such as BBC news. BBC is my favorite resource to get the news. Not only do I use their website, but I check their cell phone app every day. Also my phone will send me updates when there is breaking news somewhere in the world. With BBC I keep up to date on everything that is going on in the world. Now since BBC is a British-based news source it does tend to focus on either world news or European news. Because of this I do like to read American based newspapers and news articles for news that is more close to home. Some sites that I tend to visit are the New York Times and the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Now the St. Louis Post Dispatch isn’t really all that reliable or well written; however, it does keep me updated on news from my hometown. I also use websites for magazines such as Time magazine because their articles are usually very interesting. The internet really is my main source for the news, but it is not my only source.  

 Another source for news that I have are my peers. If my phone doesn’t let me know immediately, usually one of my friends has heard something and will let me know. Many might think that teenagers wouldn’t really talk about the news in their daily chatter, but I think that most do. As adults in society we want to stay informed both nationally and internationally. And while this information does come second hand, it does provide you with information to go on. For example one of my friends might let me know that something happened politically. Then I would usually go on my phone and look up what happened on the website of a newspaper. In this way I get more reliable reports. Being in college I don’t really get news from the newspaper, radio, or television, although with the New York Times being assigned I do find myself reading more newspapers. This is mostly due to the fact that these resources aren’t as accessible as the internet. Also in some cases I think that these reliability of these sources is not as great as the internet. Because of these and many other reasons, I get the majority of my news online and from my friends.
