My Top 5 Sources of News and Information- Blog Post #1

 

Ever since the internet has been invented people have been trying to spreak false ideas to the public. Within these false and noncredible cites there are also cites that are reliable and have built very good reputations. Today, started below this paragraph I will list my five credible sources that I use on a daily basis in order to get the best and most credible information I can. 

1- Safari

Safari is my go-to web browser that I use daily. This is mostly based on the fact that I am on all Apple products, but it is my go-to search engine. I use it to look at school assignments or even shop for boats. The only issue with Safari is, that it will provide you with both credible and non-credible sources to sift through. That is why I recommend it though, because it gives you this diversity of cites that actually will give you the real picture. Web users of Safari get quick access to tons of information and that is where it gains its popularity and why I recommend it. 

2- ESPN

Being a huge fan of sports ESPN is my go-to website for every sport. ESPN does not just cover one sport but is a hub for every sport even sports like bowling and pickleball. ESPN gives readers updated scores and stories on their favorite teams in all the major professional sports leagues. ESPN is a website that I highly recommend due to the ease of access it provides. There is no need to look up multiple scores of a football game when one website has them all in one place. That's the benefit of ESPN and what made it so popular, people have an ease of access to great information about great sports. 

3- Google

In my third spot is my second most used web browser for me. Just like Safari, Google gives us an ease of access to the web, but since I moved away from Chrome products my use of the site has gone downhill. Google is the largest search engine and has a way to even sort out credible sources with the use of Google Scholar which is a program that runs through the Google engine. Along with scholars, there is also access to Google Docs where I take my notes every day. I recommend google because along with being a web browser, people can use it and its many programs to become a better student. Google has always been my go-to site, and I highly recommend everyone to use the browser and all the tools that come along with it. 

4- Youtube

As a child, I only viewed Youtube as a source of entertainment, with no information to be had. As I grew as a person and student I was able to see Youtube has great information and as a visual learner I was able to learn many new things. YouTube was actually where I taught myself how to make my call sheets for broadcasting when I first started broadcasting. I was working on a local game and needed to learn quickly. Not only did I learn with YouTube, but my broadcast was on YouTube. YouTube needs to be a site that people use to learn, but maybe even take a break from the world and watch some funny cat videos. 

5- D11 Sports

D11 Sports is the media company that I was a student intern for in High School where I was able to broadcast local championships and regional championships in wrestling to working semi-pro basketball in the TBL. Now, as someone who is at college, I still go back and check in on how the Lehigh Valley is doing sports-wise. This website produces great information because student writers at each school write stories about their school with all the inside information. That is why I recommend this cite, I know it does not pertain to everyone due to the fact it is the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania, but people can see some interesting student writing.
