My Top 5 Sources of News and Information - Blog Spot #1
1. TikTok
I get the majority of my news through several TikTok accounts. I follow some larger accounts like Daily Mail, but I do not follow most of the accounts I get my information from. I simply trust my for you page to provide me with news and it delivers every time. I usually hear about news anywhere from minutes to a few hours after it is published thanks to my algorithm. By liking the several news videos I come across I am kept in the loop and able to receive news in a timely manner.
I get a lot of my news from Instagram as well. Just by opening the app I am usually greeted with some form of news with varying levels of importance. Some big accounts post announcements of famous people's deaths. Depending on how significant the news is, I'll see multiple posts about it from different accounts. Because I follow so many accounts, there is always news concerning different topics. So, one day I might be scrolling and receive heavy political news, while another day I could receive lots of gaming news.
YouTube is where I primarily get news about gaming and upcoming shows and movies. Gaming channels like IGN, provide trailers for upcoming games. More specific channels provide news for their respective games, like Acheron Impact, who specifically covers Honkai Star Rail news. Channels like Netflix and HBO provide me with trailers to their upcoming series and movies, so I am always on the lookout for those. On occasion, a video from a channel I am not subscribed to will appear and I'll watch it if it seems interesting enough.
I originally downloaded Bing on my phone to redeem Xbox reward points. However, after accidently leaving my notifications on, Bing now provides me with timely news. I rarely click on the notifications themselves, but I do read what they say. If the topic interests me enough then I'll read the article or look up the topic on another platform.
Similarly to Bing, I do not actively watch or ready Apple News. I simply get the notifications through my phone and read the topic there. Again, if it is of interest to me, then I'll click the notification and read the attached article.
