Where is the Best Places to get Your News?

It is very important in this day and age to know where to get your news from. We live in an era where news has never been so accessible. In the past people would need to listen to news on the radio or read the newspaper, news was maybe on television at 7pm and 11pm. Nowadays we have the world at our fingertips as any source of news is accessible on a smartphone. Because of news being so easily accessible, certain news may not be the most accurate or have up to date information. Today we are going to talk about some of the best places to get news from.

ESPN is the biggest company in the world when it comes to news about sports. ESPN is a global business that covers sports all over the world. ESPN has either live sports or premium coverage aired 24 hours per day and 365 days a year. Whether it is getting breaking news from their flagship show SportsCenter, to listening to one of their famous debate shows like Get Up, ESPN has some of the best sports analysts in the business who will give everything you need to know about the sports world. 








Youtube is one of the fastest growing websites for people to get their news from. Youtube will continue to grow at this rate due to how easy it is for people to access their videos. Youtube is a free website that makes money through advertisements. According to Pew research, over 26% of US adults get their news from Youtube. According to Pew, 59% of these US adults consider Youtube to be an important way of getting news. Due to anybody being able to post, Youtube offers the largest variety of opinions on any topic compared to other competitors.




Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. Owned by former rival Facebook, Instagram has become one of the fastest growing ways for people all over the world to get their news. Every mainstream news company such as CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and others post clips of their news on Instagram due to its easy accessibility. According to Pew research, 14% of Americans rely on Instagram for their daily news. Similar to Youtube, Instagram gives companies and everyday people the ability to post and share what they want to see. This overall creates a lot more discussion rather than having the opinion of something be what mainstream media says.





Adrian Wojnarowski is the top NBA insider who is currently working for ESPN. Nicknamed “Woj” for after his patented “Woj Bombs” which usually is the first and most accurate form of news when it comes to NBA trades and other rumors around the league. Woj will make occasional appearances on ESPN’s flagship shows like First Take or The Jump, but the main way of getting news from Woj is through his twitter account. When an NBA trade or rumor goes down, it will most likely be reported first by Woj. He is the most trusted NBA insider in the business as most people do not believe trades are official until they see an Adrian Wojnarowski tweet.







Adam Schefter is the NFL version of Adrian Wojnarowski. He is the top NFL insider who is also working for ESPN. When it comes to the NFL, Adam Schefter is the most trusted insider in the business. Similar to Woj, most people do not believe NFL trade is official until it has been reported on by Schefter himself. Adam Schefter hosts a podcast on ESPN but the main source of his news will be found on his twitter account. 






Fox Sports is a great place to get daily news in the world of sports. Similar to ESPN, Fox has many different shows that play all throughout the day. Fox has some of the best former professional athletes working for them now as sports analysts which can give people a perspective of sports that most people can’t relate to. Fox does a great job covering the business of sports through great debate shows like First Things First and Undisputed.









The Athletic is the best place for getting all news on the business of soccer. Professional soccer, unlike many other sports in the world, does not have a salary cap. Due to having no cap, soccer teams need to find alternative ways to make money to be able to compete with the other big clubs around the world. The Athletic breaks down how these clubs are getting the funds for their teams and whether or not these ways are going to be successful for the team. Besides the financial aspect of soccer, the Athletic has great soccer analysts who are always up to date with the latest rumors surrounding the most popular sport in the world.

Life on the United States Supreme Court

Life on the United States Supreme Court Before reading and watching about the United States Supreme Court, I did not have much knowledge on how they operate or what the daily life of a Supreme Court judge was like. In High School and throughout my life I had heard of famous cases that made their way to the Supreme Court like Plessy vs. Ferguson and Brown vs. Board of Education . I always knew that the Supreme Court was powerful, but I never knew why they have been granted this power and how the Supreme Court was established. Ever since the Supreme Court’s first ever meeting on February 2nd, they have been the most powerful judicial court in the United States. This court is not just granted power for the sake of it, this power of trust has been earned and granted to them by the American people.  Without the permission of the American people to always listen to and obey the rule of the courts, they would not be where they have evolved into today. This is the most important takeaw...

The Silence of Anti-War Voices Throughout our lives, we have been exposed to propaganda. Some things may seem very small, like an advertisement. We have all seen the propaganda ads throughout our history classes when we were in middle and high school. All of these ads that we saw were convincing people to join the cause and fight for their respective nation.   Yet why is it that we have never seen propaganda ads telling people to not participate in a war. There are many times in our nation's history where we as the people did not want to go to war.

War is something that everyone can agree on is a bad thing. I know for me at least I would rather not see people have to risk their lives trying to protest their nation they love. Yet if you have to look at ...

The Age of Artificial Intelligence has Arrived The Industrial Era took humans beyond the physical capabilities that we once thought were possible. This was something that was so important to our society and created opportunities we never thought were once possible. The age of AI in a whole new ball game that we never thought could ever happen. Well, if you like it or not, it is here and it is about to be huge. AI, short for artificial intelligence, uses the coding of machines that can teach itself. Similar to the Industrial Era, AI is going to breach a barrier that we once thought was unbreachable. The industrial Era was with physical power, AI is going to be with our minds. The video did not make AlphaGo beating legendary Go player Lee Sedol in a match as big of a deal as they needed it to be.  Go is a board game that originated in China over 4,000 years ago . It is one of the oldest board games in human history. While it may seem like a simple game, it is one of the most compl...
