My Top 5 News Sources

 1.   Sham Charania

As s Sports Media major, I follow sports news very closely. My favorite journalist is Shams Charania because he is usually the first to break major stories, and his work is impeccable. He works for ESPN, primarily covering the NBA, and I follow him on X. He is one of the most trusted names in sports reporting. I would recommend following him because his coverage is accurate and thorough.

2. Adam Schefter 

Another one of my favorite sports journalists is Adam Schefter, who also works for ESPN. As a seasoned industry professional, Schefter has provided unmatched coverage of the NFL since 1990. He is famous for breaking stories as they happen to his millions of followers on social media. I recommend following him on X for his up-to-the-minute injury reports, which are very helpful when setting fantasy football lineups.

3. ESPN

Since its inception in the late 1970s, the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (ESPN) has earned the title of being the “worldwide leader in sports”. ESPN is owned by the Disney Corporation and is the longtime trusted leader in sports broadcasting. I have been watching SportsCenter and shows like 30 for 30 for as long as I can remember. The coverage is entertaining because of the well-rounded, insightful stories it covers daily. I would recommend watching ESPN to non-sports lovers, too, for its quick overviews of current sports news.

4. ABC World News Tonight

World News Tonight with David Muir on ABC is the nightly news show that my family has watched my entire life. ABC News has been a foundational part of legacy media. ABC News has the resources to cover stories with unparalleled access. Although I find the coverage left-leaning at times, there is comfort in the familiarity because the show was on every night in my house before sports start. I would recommend World News Tonight with David Muir for those looking for a brief overview of the day's events.

5.  Fox News

I started watching Fox News during the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election. I enjoyed getting a different perspective on the issues than those found in more mainstream media outlets such as ABC News. Often touted as the news source of the silent majority, the conservative views of the right-wing base are often insightful and surprising. I would recommend watching Fox News as an accompaniment to mainstream media to get a more well-rounded worldview.
