My Top News Sources

My top five news sources 

Throughout my life, I haven't been really involved with watching the news but in these unprecedented times, I find it hard not to be concerned with what going on in the world. So I started getting more involved with a couple of news sources that helped me gain a little more knowledge on what's going on these days. 

Fox News

Whenever I do put the news on I typically watch Fox News because this is what I was most familiar with. I enjoy watching Fox news because it gives me reliable information and it keeps me engaged the whole time, unlike some other news stations. Another reason why I chose Fox is that I enjoy the news anchors.

Twitter 

I get a lot of my news from Twitter and this is really the only reason why I use this application. The reason I like Twitter is because I can choose who I want to follow and get the information straight from that person or news station. It's also convenient because it's right on my phone and I don't have to be home to watch the news on tv. 

Youtube

I love watching Youtube and it's great for news too, considering I can watch important clips and not have to engage in watching the news on tv for a while. You can search up exactly what you want to know and watch a summary instead of spending a lot of your time watching the news regularly. 

The Weather Channel

The Weather Channel is one of my favorite places to get news on what the weather will be like currently or in the future. I check it at least twice a day to make sure I wear the correct thing or if there's a bad storm to make sure I'm prepared. It's also great because if I'm going on a trip somewhere I can check what time would be best to go based on the weather

Apple News

Another great new app I use is Apple News which sends me notifications on what I might be interested in knowing. Also, it's super convenient since all I have to do is pick up my phone and can get news from a bunch of different channels. It has so many different topics and articles to pick from which is great.

Podcast EOTO

       I have always really enjoyed listening to podcasts so when we were assigned this project I knew I wanted to talk about the history of podcasts. It all started in 2004 by Adam Curry and Dave Winer who developed the software. He made a program that allowed them to download the podcast onto their iPods. This was very beneficial to them and by the next year, there were a lot of companies that started to recognize them and saw how much potential podcasting could be. One of the biggest companies that recognized them was Apple and they put out their iTunes 4.9 update which allowed people to listen to podcasts. Podcast development started to continue to grow and became a great source of information throughout the years. Moving all the way to 2013 Apple said that they had 1 billion podcast subscriptions which is a very impressive number. Podcasting continues to keep growing and as of 2019, there had been around 90 million Americans were listening to podcasts daily and 165 million people

Supreme Court

    The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) was established by the Constitution as an essential part of the checks and balances system. It is the highest court in the country and the head of the judicial branch of government (1). The Supreme Court has the responsibility of ruling on the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress. It also has the power to check on the other two branches of government, the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch (2). The Court holds the power of judicial review, the ability to invalidate a statute for violating a provision of the Constitution. (3).  When first established, the Supreme Court judges were also responsible for serving on circuit courts in the thirteen states. There are presently nine Supreme Court justices, which has been a consistent number since 1869. With all the current buzz about the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett and the idea of Democrats, in retaliation, packing the court, I decided to take a look to see if this was an issue in the past. Th

Week 13 EOTO

  After listening to group 2 present I found that mainstream media was very fascinating to me. Mainstream media is one is really how everyone gets their daily information whether that be from a newspaper or tv. Considering we tend to see this mainstream media every day it has a huge impact on how we live our lives. A lot of media can be very biased so it’s important to what you should listen to and believe. There are different news stations that are very biased in what they believe and talk about so it’s important to understand which ones are before you listen to them. If you tend to maybe listen to Fox News a lot and go over to watch CNN it might sound very different to what you have listened to on Fox News. And the reason for that is because both these news stations have very different opinions. A lot of the mainstream media only cares about getting good ratings even if they are not putting out the best content. Mainstream media can be a huge positive for people that want to be able
