My 5 top sources for news and information 


When I was looking over my top 5 news sources from last semester, I thought my sources wouldn't change but it turns out I use many different outlets to receive my news. I found that so interesting because that was last semester, it goes to show that a lot can change in a course of 6 months.

CNN 

While CNN leans it's biased towards a liberal standpoint, when I need to see what's going on they are the ones that usually pop on. When I search for anything news-related, they are also the ones at the top of my search list. Something that also makes me automatically look at them for news is the fact that they also have a Spanish channel. I would say they are reliable but would also suggest looking at other news sources just so it isn't as biased and you get to see the whole picture.



The Washington Post

When I need to look at anything that relates to the president or congress, I always go see what "The Washington Post" has up. It gives me a good sense of what's new and happening around the U.S. The reason why this would be on my recommend list is because it gives you so much information on the government and they are constantly updating or making new articles.




The Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal is one of my favorite news sources because they do a pretty good job of staying accurate and not going off biased. They focus on all points of news not just the government but everything that affects the U.S. I enjoy reading their articles and it helps me see the whole picture not just some parts of it.




Fox News

Fox News is definitely more on the Right side of biased, this is probably why I like to refer back to them whenever I have any questions about republicans or the President. I also always watch Fox 8 when I'm at home.



Univision

Univision will always be on my list because it's what I grew up watching. While it's not just a news channel, there are 3 to 4 different tv shows that focus solely on news. They do tend to focus more on social issues concerning the Latino community. They are also known for interviewing very important political figures around the world.

Diffusion of Innovation: Blog 8

Electronic Pay, and the Diffusion of Innovations Theory. Taken by Dr. Dean Smith The Diffusion of Innovations is used to define how change has been made by technological advancements and how it has influenced our society for the past, present, and future. Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and other forms of NFC payment have been extremely crucial in how conveniently we use our debit and credit cards to pay for everyday items. This, among many other factors, is why innovators have worked tirelessly to continue to advance our contactless pay method. Also, with technology in other areas continuing to advance, many investors, businesses, and other entities have been more than willing to support the continuing advancements of contactless pay using Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and other forms of NFC pay. Card reader companies, such as Verifone, implemented the ability to accept NFC payment on their readers. Because of this very limited and new field of how we pay, Verifone became the early adopters of this...

First Amendment, what is okay and what is not: Blog 3

Peaceful Protests and Black Lives Matter   Throughout the last few months there have been more than 2,000 protests all around the world trying to bring awareness towards the black community and police brutality.   Following the murder of George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter movement has seen many peaceful protests. The first amendment gives you freedom of speech, and the freedom to assemble. Under the U.S. constitution as long as you have a permit and the protest is peaceful then you can go out in the streets and use two of your freedoms.   The problem that has occurred is that many of these peaceful protests have become violent and have involved looting. This has strike controversy among many people regardless of their party. Whether you believe that the looting was justified or not, or if the peaceful protests were not the same with the violent protests under the first amendment the violent protests are not protected.   I think many people have decided to asso...
