Everyone bases their new sources off of specific criteria. Their political opionions, interests, and how they search for them are usually deciding factors. My top 5 in no particular order...
The New York Times is one of the largest newspaper companies in the United States. They offer their news in different forms in both paper and online. The name itself, when you hear it, immediately instills a sense of accuracy and authenticity. The articles are fact-checked, and the company's brand is at stake, which is why they ensure that their info is accurate. I usually use Google News which aggregates news articles, and NYT is always listed on the site, which is a testament to their fair reports.
Fox News is a significant news company with national coverage. They have many different platforms of distribution and offer a perspective most big news companies don't provide. Being a right-leaning paper, this alternative angle helps give insight to stories which I strive to look for when reading the news. In addition, I think they have honest, fair reporting, which has led them to become such a large news organization.
YouTube offers more than vlogs, funny videos, and movies. Many news companies have adapted to the changing technological age by uploading snippets of their news coverage online or making content specifically for the younger crowd that typically uses the platform. I enjoy this form because you don't always have time to sit down and watch the news, so this is an excellent way to get your information quickly in an entertaining way.
Google News offers a platform for all news companies, big and small. I assume there is an algorithm, but the Google News website collects all the current news stories and gives multiple different links to differing story reports. I like this method because it can give the reader numerous perspectives and access to smaller news companies.
Apple News is similar to Google News but offers you the ability to select categories of news to show the stories that you'd be interested in. Apple news still shows all the major headlines and provides the big and small newspapers to give the reader variety and selection. I do enjoy this feature since sometimes the breaking news headlines can be overpowering, so it's nice to filter the news as you wish. However, one thing that is lacking compared to Google News is that it doesn't always give multiple options to cross-reference other articles.
