My Top Five Sources of News and Information

1. Youtube

Certainly my most used source, I rely on Youtube to keep me updated on current events. Youtube often gives feeds that compile separate coverages of political events. This gives the viewer access to a variety of different views and stances on the topics presented. Youtube is also generically useful for finding up to date information.

2. Instagram

Instagram is more social media than news source, but Instagram is a quick and easy way to find new information. Instagram is consistently up to date and delivers personalized news. Youtube and Instagram provide very similar functions, but Instagram tends to beat out Youtube in having up to date information on non-political topics. When I'm not on Youtube, I'm usually on Instagram to find information faster.

3.LinkedIn

LinkedIn provides very useful information for both job applications and employers. I use LinkedIn to find job/internship opportunities and connect with people online. LinkedIn gives me a good idea of who is hiring and for what jobs. I make sure to check LinkedIn consistently so that I can stay on top of job opportunities that arise. Game Design is a competitive field, so the more active I am on LinkedIn, the better.

4. CNN

While I see the inherent biases of most major news networks, I tend to see a small amount less when it comes to CNN. This outlet offers a lot of articles outside of just their live coverage, articles usually based in data and fact. As with a lot of major news sources, however, I take information from CNN with a grain of salt. Many major news companies want to push a story or simply churn out news as fast as possible to drive engagement. CNN can easily mislead the average viewer. This source tends to be left leaning nan 

5. Fox News

Fox News and CNN are complementary. I don't often look at either channel, but when I do, I usually look at both. Fox News is an undeniably right leaning source of media.
