My Favorite New Sources

Facebook

I use Facebook a lot.  When people think of Facebook they are probably thinking about using it to connect, or reconnect with people.  The main thing I love to use facebook for is news.  Being that its a constant stream of media and communication, there is constantly new information I am finding first hand off Facebook.  A lot of the news I find on facebook is usually links from other news sources just sharing their links through the social media platform which.  Although this technically makes it so that the new isn't coming directly from facebook but having a network where news is constantly passing between and getting their honest reactions is very innovative.

News 12

News 12 Long Island is my local news for optimum users in my area.  They're main priority is to get useful information to the people of the surrounding communities.  I like this news source because for one it is my go to news station.  The picture is high quality and the production as a whole is pretty high quality.  The station is also pretty quick about getting current local events out there.  They also have all sorts of different ways in which their media can be accessed, like television, a website, and an app.

Variety

I love movies and my favorite website for getting information about what is going on in the industry is Variety.  They have other subjects they look into such as real estate and video games and such but they really have a strong focus on popular media, which is something I enjoy.  They often times have exclusive articles.

Entertainment Weekly

For many of the same reasons I enjoy variety I enjoy EW as well.  Entertainment Weekly has a more well known name I feel like, and they are a very popular magazine.  The main reason I think EW is special is that often times they will give special looks at upcoming movies, or even first looks as well.  This is great as it's entertaining and it can make people feel that they are getting something they cannot get else where.

ESPN

I'm sure that almost everyone has heard of ESPN.  This is the website to go everything and anything sports.  They cover every sport and most divisions that people pay attention to.  Going to the site is a breeze as they make it easy to navigate which sport you're looking for and being able to search or having the big breaking news right on the main page, and even show the scores of games.  They even have a great, well functioning app.
