Youtube
Youtube is a great source of entertainment as it is an amazing source to get the news you would like to hear about. I personally watch quite a few different golf channels, as well as a few different comedians, and a few daily vloggers. Learning about people's daily lives might sound ridiculous, but some things they do in their daily life might become of interest to people and they might take upon the action or buy the product they see in one of the videos which to me seems beneficial. Many people, such as myself, also get sports information and regular news information from this website because they subscribe to their personal wants and likes. It is an easy way to keep people occupied while giving them the news that they want.
Instagram
I have used Instagram since about the year 2012. This is the way I keep up with the sports I enjoy seeing and hearing about. I follow different people and teams who interest me and their posts keep me updated on the different sports news I want to hear about. This includes teams posting about upcoming games, brands coming out with new products, and even some inside information from around the different leagues. Just scrolling on my phone for 30 seconds, I can see so many updates on so many athletes and teams which is very interesting and appealing. It is an easy and quick way to find out the information you want to know about. I also follow accounts that will update me on important things going on in the world and in the United States, so I can keep up to date about important situations going on.
TikTok
TikTok is the newest news and social media site as it has been only been around since 2018. It was formerly known as Musically, but once the site got bought out and revamped, it then blew up to be the popular platform it is today. While many of the accounts only show careless dancing or singing videos, there are also many that post facts and news about what is going on in the world. I personally get a lot of video pop-ups on my for you page regarding sports, things that I find funny, and recommended Tik Toks based on things it knows I like. The app can also be very addicting due to one short video after another (similar to Vine), so people could end up watching videos for hours at a time. I personally would not use this for world news, but it is great for some quick facts and fun!
Fox News
I personally don't usually like watching the news due to the arguments politics tend to cause, as well as it being a bit on the boring side, but news anchors including Tucker Carlson make watching the news a little more entertaining. My family and I tend to watch the Fox News channel in order to get the major important news we would like to hear about. We enjoy this channel because the anchors who speak at most times of the day, make hearing about the information more eventful and easier to understand. Watching this channel has helped me gain information on what is going on in the world that is important to hear about. I believe social media sites give good information, but news channels give all of the necessary and important information people need to hear about what is going on around them. Also, Fox News has a website that shows a lot of the stories and topics they cover, which is easy to navigate and scan through when you are in a rush!
ESPN
Just as I use Instagram to look for different sports teams and athletes, I use ESPN to follow the scores and updates from different sports around the world. I have always dreamed of becoming a sports analyst, so when I watch ESPN not only am I watching the news on the sports I love, but I am also learning the ways of the best sports analysts in the world! I also use this to write sports journals, which I have been writing for close to a year now, in hope that they will one day land me a sports networking job.
