TOP FIVE SOURCES OF NEWS AND INFORMATION

Instagram is one of the most enjoyable sources of information simply because of the addiction to “scrolling”. I enjoy Instagram because it collects your data about which videos, images, reels, and stories you enjoy the most, which allows Instagram to provide better and more visuals. Also, Instagram is a perfect platform for sharing funny photos and videos with all of your friends and family. The platform's features allow for creative expression while discovering tailored content of our interest. I would 100% recommend Instagram because it’s a versatile platform for staying updated with influencers, exploring various hobbies or trends, and staying up to date with what's occurring in our evolving world. It’s especially great for those who have nothing else going on in their lives because there is no limit to how much content you can see, the only limit is yourself. 

Also, I really enjoy Snapchat because of its dynamic features. The platform includes hundreds of unique filters to play with. The app allows for quick videos and photos to stay in touch with family and friends. Snapchat, similar to Instagram, also has a unique story mode where individuals can post daily content for their followers to view to know what is happening in their day. This app provides endless content of influencers and daily events occurring, and everything posted, sent, videoed, or photographed disappears within 24 hours. Another huge aspect I enjoy is the 1 year ago memories. This feature allows users to go down memory lane and have a good laugh about what they were doing a year ago that day. I recommend Snapchat to people who enjoy a more genuine way of communicating with others daily. 

Another huge platform many younger generations like myself use for news and information is TikTok. This platform is extremely unique because of the endless creativity available to its users. Not only does it offer a specialized algorithm to provide tailored videos and information to your liking, but you can also create your very own specialized reels and videos for other users to watch. TikTok is always trending with whatever is hot in our society, whether that is influencers making videos about a new dance or posting highlights of a sports game. Although TikTok is targeted towards the younger generations, I would recommend it for adults as well. This platform is great for creative ideas, it promotes community engagement and can be an educational tool sometimes.

I assume you have heard of YouTube right? Well, YouTube is by far one of the best ways to explore news, information, and what's happening in the world at any time. Millions of users use YouTube to post videos and reels of pretty much anything you can think of. Whether someone is posting a video of the ice-cold plunge challenge or the Donald Trump presidential shooting, you will be able to find it on this platform basically before it already happens. Users can find millions of different videos about any topic all the time which makes it one of my favorite tools of information. Personally, I would recommend this platform to everyone! A lot of people live under rocks and need to learn how to use YouTube to their advantage whether that is locating news or learning a new skill. YouTube provides more than just educational data, it ranges from learning to make money all the way to your favorite bodybuilder posting videos on how to gain mass.

A relatively newer platform called "LinkedIn" has come to the surface as a very promising tool for news and information. On this platform, users can post daily updates about how their current job is going, whether they are searching for a new job position, their education level, interest, and much more. This allows businesses to look for individuals who are looking for a job opportunity and get to know the person via their profile. On this social media platform, there is always constant networking and ongoing relative information for users. LinkedIn is great for anyone looking to take their professional career to the next level and really boost their networking web. LinkedIn is honestly great for anyone old or young enough to understand how the platform works because it allows people to see how others enjoy certain areas of work and what they might be interested in or currently popular in our society.
