Finding good or even decent news sources isn’t always easy. New stories are hard for journalists to find and with the amount of information out there we need alternative ways of getting new stories. Places like facebook and twitter are great for breaking news from people usually at the places where the stories are taking place. This obviously requires the journalist to do research on validity but can be a great place to start. www.ap.org is probably the most prominent source of breaking news. The Associated Press has been on the cutting edge for a long time. www.cnn.com and www.reuters.com are good for world news also. www.cnbc.com is great for economic news.
Local news outlets like www.9news.com or www.thedenverchannel.com are good for consumers because they are more relatable. www.theonion.com is great for entertainment while sources like www.nytimes.com and http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world/ are good for more unbiased and fact based reporting.
i think you wrote a great article. i like that you placed international news sources such as BBC, as well as local news sources such as 9news. thanks for the info
