My top five sources of information

1. NewsBreak 

https://www.newsbreak.com/ 

My number one source of news is a app for your phone and computer called "NewsBreak." they primarily focus on local news in your area. You can select which cities or towns you want to get news from which I enjoy. The news that I get from this is news from Chapel Hill where i live, High Point, and national news. I enjoy this form of news because I like to stay in touch with what goes on in Chapel hill while I am in High Point. I would recommend this app to alot of people I think why more people should use it is because you can get notifications from stories that are in your area and you can also check other stories that are going around for that week in your area but also any other area that you are interested in looking up news for.

2. For my second piece of news or information I use Instagram a lot for news, I follow pages of political beliefs that I believe in and other pages that focus on local news and stories from different areas in North Carolina. Instagram is a good place to get your news because it is very visual and a easily accessible source to get news from.

3. For my third source of news, I chose Youtube, I like youtube if I want to look at live news or news that is in the form of short videos. I like it because I can stay in formed while also watching a video that goes more in depth about the topic I am looking at. 

https://www.reddit.com/

4.For my fourth source of news I chose Reddit. Reddit mainly focuses on pages or forums that you can join where you can talk to other people about a certain topic or discussion. Reddit also focuses on showing trending daily news, this is where I will get my daily news. I can use it to discuss about a certain topic that I am interested in. I would recommend Reddit to people who like to chat with others about a mutually shared topic.

5.  For my last form of news I chose the "Daily TarHeel." The Daily TarHeel is a student ran news paper company for University of Chapel Hill. I enjoy this form of media because the authors talk about news that is going on at UNC such as sports, other news that is happening on campus and it also talks about orange county and news that is going on in North Carolina. I enjoy this form of media because it discusses local news which I enjoy even though I am not enrolled as a student at UNC it still has a deep place in my heart.
