Top Five News Outlets by Olivia Moran

Daily Mail is a British daily newspaper and online news source published in London. Through Daily Mail, you can find that there is a lot of true crime and celebrity news. While I don’t watch or read much of political news outlets, I do get a lot of worldwide updates from Snapchat or other social media platforms. I especially like this news source because of its true-crime aspect which I like to keep updated on such as, their newest caption reads, “Freed suitcase killer Heather Mac is reunited with prison born six-year-old daughter, she wanted to leave behind in Indonesia, as a pair are deported to America.” This new source goes into great detail about true crime stories along with keeping us updated on celebrity scandals which is my main source of news intake.

                    

CNN was the first 24-hour all-news service and covers many political views over its showings along with the weather segments and updates on the world around us. I find this particularly interesting because it focuses on the more Democrat side of political views which can be tricky when strictly watching CNN. I find many new short clips on YouTube along with updates on social media platforms in general. I really like CNN’s wording and the way they phrase political views to their audience. CNN covers a lot of topics such as political, business, entertainment, sports, health science, and weather coverage, along with topical in-depth analysis and interviews.

 

On the days that I watch Fox News I try to primarily balance it with CNN so I can get both political sides and views. While Fox News primarily covers the Republican parties' views on worldwide subjects and also election opinions. Fox News’ mission statement is described as, “Our mission is the same as it was over a century go give the people a simple pleasure of being transported via a story on the screen.” Fox News also prides itself on being, “Fair and Balanced,” with their slogan in favor of, “Most watched, most trusted.” While this can be true in some parts it is hard to trust for people who just wish to be informed on the news. If I were to recommend Fox News I would recommend it to a more Republican-based viewpoint along with recommending that the person watching finds all viewpoints on what political worldwide story may be occurring.

              

E! News (Entertainment News) is primarily focused on celebrity livelihood and any drama that the rest of the world may need to catch up on. As their top post from October 2, 2020, is the new Witches trailer starring Anne Hathaway. While I do not look at their website often I find most stories on Snapchat are updated daily. E-News features stories and drama involving celebrities as well as films, music, and television. This industry and has been around since the mid-2000s while it has taken a turn in their media coverage, I find that they do not stay updated on their website as much as they do on other social media platforms. I really do like this news source though because of its constant updates on the world around us while also focusing on the livelihoods of people in the public eye. E-News has been around for a long time and has done many TV shows including Keeping up with the Kardashians, Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Botched. 

 

Youtuber News by Pop Buzz is a popular Snapchat news hosted by Benedict Townsend. During the short 10 minutes, you’ll find multiple stories about scandals between Youtubers, Tik Tokers, and/or influencers in general. I recommend this to anybody who wants to stay updated on social media and celebrity news in general. I like this because it brings a fun twist and the commentary by the host is clever and concentrated on what he is talking about. Whether that’s a new marriage between Debby Ryan and Josh Dunn or strictly cancel culture and the updates on that. I find this news media outlet to be the most entertaining when I want updates on the drama between people in the public eye.
