My Top 5 News Sources And Why I Choose Them
WXII12 
Im very invested in my community and whats happening around me so when wanting to see local articles and coverage I tend to lean on WXII12 News which offers a good mix of local and statewide news coverage. Small news providers like this also often seem to steer away from leaving left or right so many of the articles on big events are purely facts and lack bias which I like.
Aaron Parnas
Aaron Parnas is a journalist that primarily reports on TikTok and Substack. These are two places I often find myself looking for news or coming across it as they simplify many stories and make them easy to understand fast. Around 2020 Aaron Parnas started to emerge on TikTok as the primary reporter on the app for national and world news. Today he's amassed over 4.5 million followers on the app and is many people primary news source as a whole. I find myself checking his profile a few times throughout the day to get quick reports on different events happening in real time.
The Athletic 
As a Sport Management major myself and sports fan I find it super important to keep up with whats going on in the fast changing world of sports. The Athletic is one of the largest sports industry networks that I use to keep up with sports related news and events. A lot of the news covered impacts my fixture and career aspirations so it's beneficial for me to monitor it and stay up to date.
Substack
I don’t use Substack constantly, but it’s something I usually turn to when I want to slow down and actually understand what’s going on around me. It feels different from most platforms because the focus isn’t on quick reactions or headlines, but on explanation and context. I mentioned Aaron Parnas earlier, and he’s one of the writers I find myself going back to the most. What I like about his work is that it blends straightforward facts with opinion, without pretending the opinion part isn’t there. That balance helps me process information more critically instead of just absorbing one side or being pushed toward a conclusion. Overall, Substack gives me access to perspectives that feel more thought-out, and it’s a space where I can engage with different viewpoints without everything being boiled down to soundbites.
CNN
When I’m looking for detailed coverage of current world events, the primary news source I
usually turn to is CNN. I know it’s often labeled as left-leaning, but from my experience, I’ve found it to be one of the more consistent and reliable options among major news networks. What really keeps me coming back is how accessible the information feels. Their app, especially, has become my go-to. It’s usually the first place I get breaking news notifications, which means a lot of the time I’m already aware of what’s happening before I even start actively looking for updates. Because of that mix of depth, convenience, and reliability, CNN has ended up being my main source for staying informed.
