Blog Post #1 My Top 5 Sources

 5- Twitter

Twitter is a unique place to get new from compared to other modern social media because it recently had a huge change to it and a lot of their policies are different now. Twitter is a place where you can find news from any side of an argument weather that's a good or bad thing. I use it to learn about a lot of stuff happening for people I follow and creators I like but there is always the latest bit of political news on there as well. So It helps keep me informed on some major real life issues.

4- Apple News

Apple News you can use to subscribe/follow any kinds of media outlets you like and I have some turned on so I always see the news when major things happen. It can be catered but also is mostly used for just fresh news articles and information to help keep you informed. 

3- TikTok

While sometimes TikTok is not the best source for people who use it a lot there tends to be many political livestreamers/commentators on the app as well as ads that point you towards a particular candidate. It can also be used to spread information very fast so when anything major happens it will spread the fastest on TikTok.

2- Instagram


Instagram is a good place to gather information because it is an image sharing platform for the most part and includes many ways of communication. With the Instagram Stories feature you can share something to your followers that you saw and you thought was important for 24 hours. This is a good feature to help your close friends on the app learn about things and communicate with each other. 


1- Youtube

Out of these I use Youtube the most so I know where to go when I need to find news from it. If I am trying to learn something from Youtube it is pretty simple and not long after major events occur someone will make a video on it and you can start to gather information. I think this one is the best to learn and get information because of the variety of content and amount of things you can find on almost anything.
