ESPN
The ESPN app is my number one source of news. I am a sports fanatic so I am constantly looking at the latest scores and news across all sports and the best app to get the latest news and scores from is the ESPN app. I get notifications all throughout the day from ESPN so I am constantly updated and informed with the latest sports’ news. I hardly watch television anymore because of how easy it is for me be able to just go on my phone and get the sports news I need for the day. ESPN has video highlights as well as live streams of games so it makes it even easier for me to stay informed me being able to stream almost every sports’ game so it makes it even easier for me to stay up to date on everything to do with sports.
Bleacher Report
The Bleacher Report app is very similar to the ESPN app except for the fact that you are not able to stream live sporting games. Bleacher Report is another great source that I receive my sporting news from. I hardly watch the actual news so most of the news outlets I get my news from are sports news outlets. I also get hundreds of notifications a day from Bleacher Report that keeps me updated with scores, statistics, and news. Both apps, ESPN and Bleacher Report, are very similar in the content they provide with hardly any differences between the two even though I like the ESPN app better.
Instagram
Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. Users of the app range from young teenagers to older adults and this app has become incredibly popular for all age groups to receive current news going on across the world. Instagram allows individuals to follow anyone they want to so the majority of people are following news outlets and people that they find an interest in. There is also something called a “For You” page on Instagram where the app generates content for every individual based on what you most interact with on the app. These features within the app allows every individual to get a wide variety of news, opinions and perspectives regarding different topics. This is how a lot of individual receive their news including myself because my Instagram feed is constantly filled with the latest breaking news across the country, and as someone that does not really watch the news at all, Instagram is a great way for me to easily access the news because it immediately pops up in my feed as soon as I open the app.
X - Formerly known as Twitter
X is another incredibly popular social media platform for individuals to receive their news. I use X very regularly just to see what is happening around the world. X is the only social media platform that I have my notifications on for which makes it easy for me to stay informed on news around the world just from the notifications alone. With sporting news, sports reporters report news to X first before apps like ESPN, Bleacher Report or any other sporting news app report the news so I am always informed on sporting news across the world before ESPN and Bleacher Report report it to the world, and that is one of the major reason why I use X as often as I do. X also has a feature on the app called “Trending” where there is a list of the 30 most most trending news across the country in sports, news and entertainment so it easy to stay informed on all different news throughout the world through X’s features. Similar to Instagram, as soon as you open the app, every individuals’ feed is filled with videos, opinions and perspectives of different news, sports and entertainment topics to constantly keep people informed on what is going on across the world.
WXII12
I have lived in Winston-Salem for the last couple of years and WXII12 is the local news affiliate in the triad area which consists of High Point, Greensboro, and Winston Salem. As a resident of Winston-Salem, and with me going to High Point University, I love to stay informed on news happening in the area I live and go to school in. Being aware of local news is extremely important so you are aware of what is happening in the area you live in. I hardly watch or keep up to date with national news because most of the time the national news does not have any direct affect on me as an individual, however, the local news has more of an affect on me because it’s the area that I live in, shop at, and travel around in so I am directly affected. Whether I watch the local news on my television or just go on WXII12’s website online, I have to stay informed on local news and sports happening in my area and WXII12 is the best outlet to receive news in the triad area.
