TOP FIVE SOURCES OF NEWS AND INFORMATION
Personally, Instagram is my go-to app when trying to find out news on recent celebrity drama, or generally what's happening around the world. Instagram is an app many people in this generation utilize which makes it easy to connect with other followers. Scrolling on the home page to see what's new in the lives of your followers helps stay in touch with friends and family. There is also an explore page that displays posts that are based on accounts you follow, interact with, and photos you like. There are many different options Instagram has to offer when revealing news and can be as simple as a scroll.
Another app/website many people today frequently visit is Twitter. Twitter has an engagement of 396.5 million users according to Google. Due to this high amount of people, the impact Twitter has on providing news is often exhilarating especially knowing the number of people who use that database. There are many people who can post, reply, and like comments making the engagement rate a very high number. The way news can be spread is very quickly, which can sometimes be scary because not everything you read or see on the internet can be true.
The video app, TikTok has become one of the most used apps around the world for a variety of ages. Not only can you post videos, but you can like, comment, save, or send other people videos that reach you. TikTok can be a very educational app at times and teach you many things you probably have never learned in school. Besides the dancing aspect of making TikTok videos, it's very easy to scroll past news in the media, especially with relevant pop stars. Although this app is a way to pass time quickly, it often teaches me new things about the world and keeps me up to date on the latest "tea" as the TikTok stars refer to drama.
One of the top-rated cable network news shows, Fox News is often watched in my household which teaches me what's happening in the world, especially regarding politics. Something I enjoy about Fox News is that they always seem to bring on many different people to speak on their show which ultimately gives a lot of different outlooks on different current situations happening around the world. It is also helpful to know that along with watching on regular television, their website contains clips and most important up-to-date news that is as easy as one simple click.
One of my other favorite ways to stay tuned in the news of the pop culture world is by watching the television show, TMZ. A lot of people, even myself sometimes think it's exaggerated and too far stretched out but personally, it gives me a good chuckle sometimes. I enjoy TMZ because they insert real clips from videos of celebrities that happen in real time so it's easier to understand what news they are talking about. It's also a great way to stay on top of all the celebrity drama, know when a new singer is releasing new music, and most importantly a show that can make you laugh at the latest gossip.
