The New York Times is a news source I will go to for quick updates on current events. I don't normally make it a quick visit once I start reading. I pick a few of the stories that are interesting or seem important and continue reading. I recommend this News source for keeping up with general news and information.
2. Fox News
When looking at News sources, I think it is good to look from multiple perspectives. I learned this from my Radio Broadcasting teacher a few years ago. All News is biased in some way. The different perspectives provide an informative middle ground. Fox News is obviously the more Conservative choice. I also grew up watching Fox News because of my parents, so it used to be my go to source. I think it is fairly accurate and good enough for a comparison.
3. CNN
CNN is on here because it is fairly the opposite of Fox News. If I have enough time to compare stories, I'll visit Fox and CNN to see the differences. Growing up on Fox News, it was weird visiting CNN because I was always told it was the worst. I don't necessarily disagree with that, but it provides some contrast which is helpful. I suggest using this source for comparing instead of relying fully on it.
4. NBC
NBC News is probably my back up to New York Times. It's simple to navigate and it is easy to keep up with the latest news. Like most sites, I'm able to click specific news subjects such as politics or U.S. News. I think it isn't very biased and is pretty to the point. It gives a descriptive title only instead of a summary, but that's what interests readers. Again it isn't my go to, but it isn't bad at all.
5. C-SPAN
This is a bit of a different source than the others. They focus more on videos than written stories. If you're more of a visual or audible learner I would suggest maybe checking them out. I mainly use C-SPAN for watching big events like debates during elections. This is because there are less interruptions during the debate of people talking and giving their opinions. I like just listening and forming my own opinions.
