Blog Post 1: Top 5 Sources of News and Information

 1. Fox News

Fox News is definitely one of the more well-known right-leaning news sources. It is helpful when I am trying to stay up to date with worldwide topics. They offer a variety of topics from current events, entertainment, and politics which really gives me a comprehensive view of events that are going on in the world. What I enjoy the most about Fox News is that I do not always have a lot of time to dedicate to watching the news. They offer short clips or fast-paced news shows which gives me an advantage as a busy college student. I used to rely solely on Fox News for my information but in the last few years I have really expanded my reach as I have noticed that they can be a bit biased and I am not a fan of some of their News anchors. Yet, if you are looking for a conservative global and domestic news source Fox News is the one for you.

2. NY Times

The New York Times is probably the most reputable newspaper in the world as it offers lots of investigative journalism, in-depth analysis or reports, and current events. I appreciate that they seem pretty neutral in their work and I have noticed they have become more neutral in the past year or so. The NY Times also covers a huge variety of topics which I find very interesting. Everything from science, culture, business, politics, and even some mental health reports. It is also very interesting to see their international news coverage as I do not get too much global news on my own, NY Times is my go-to to keep me well informed on global events. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a credible and well-researched news source.

3. The Glenn Beck Program Podcast

I try to listen to the news in a variety of ways, not just sitting and watching TV. I believe it's extremely important to keep yourself updated, but sometimes life just gets in the way. I have been leaning towards listening to podcasts as I am so busy, and this is something I could do while I drive or walk to class. The Glenn Beck Program podcast is definitely more conservative-leaning, but I believe he does a great job of explaining current events in a way that is easy to digest so a broader audience can listen to it. I enjoy his take on trending topics and his thought-provoking discussions. Glenn Beck is very passionate about his work as he knows he has a huge impact on his listeners, he really cares about the information he is providing. I would recommend his post cast for conservatives who want an engaging and captivating news source from their phones.

4. Candance Owen's Podcast "Candance"

Another podcast I enjoy is Candance Owen's podcast "Candance." I have always admired Candance's ability to be so straightforward and bold with her thoughts and the way she interacts with others. It is very refreshing to listen to as she makes current events seem so simple and direct in a world full of crazy. Candance says things the way they are, which can lead to a lot of controversy. She interviews a variety of guests as well, and she often challenges mainstream narratives. I would recommend this podcast to anyone looking for a strong, opinion-driven analysis of politics and culture, which is really delivered by Candance's wit and clarity.

5. The Wall Street Journal

My final news source is The Wall Street Journal which is a trusted source for all things finance, business, and global news. I especially value how detailed their reports are and how thorough their analyses are of market trends, economic movements, and their overall news. They are truly a great resource for staying updated on the economy and they get updated regularly which I really appreciate.  Additionally, they break down these bigger more complex economic issues into more manageable pieces that are easier for me or anyone else who isn't in the finance field to understand. They have a huge emphasis on factual reporting instead of opinion which is needed in terms of finance. For anyone looking to find coverage on the financial side of current events, I would highly recommend the Wall Street Journal.
