In National/International level of news, the pieces of news that I’m really interested in are the war going on in Ukraine involving Russia and the host nation. This really interests me because it’s cool to see how Ukraine is responding with the attacks from Russia and how the Russians invade. On the state level it was interesting to me how the COVID news affected me going from county to county and multiple news stations giving daily updates on the newest numbers whether that be news cases or new deaths. On the local level, I like to keep updates on news that involves crime from murder to carjacking to arson. There are no particular stories that I’m monitoring on a daily basis, I jump around from story to story every couple days. I do follow news from my hometown, one way is TMJ4 which hardly ever reports on Elkhorn which is my hometown. There is another way I get the news from Elkhorn and that’s the Elkhorn Independent which is our local newspaper. The newspaper has everything from jobs to sports and reports about the local towns and cities around it as well and that includes East Troy, Burlington, Lake Geneva and several others. I mainly find myself ending up on FOX News for national news because it is a site that I can trust when I type in a address, sometimes TMJ4 for local news. My favorite news site is FOX News. Some things about the site that appeal to me are it has many different options of news along with previews of shows on the TV channel of what is coming up to watch. I only use Google to find news, nothing else I can’t trust other sites that I don’t know any background information on. When I consume news, I usually get it through text and news videos on my specific news channel that I watch at home and the newspaper that my family gets. I think the news video is my favorite way to get news just because I can see how car accidents or shootings happen. I rarely ever post comments on news stories, I feel like I have opinions and I would rather not share them, if it’s concerning, yes I will. I have emailed a reporter in fact it was Lance Allan who does sports on TMJ4. I emailed him asking him a question about sports reporting, his college experience, etc. I have not submitted any pictures to any news outlets. I get my news mainly off Facebook and that includes sports, politics, etc. I rely on Instagram for mainly sports stories. I don’t use Twitter at all because I just don’t find it useful and it could be corrupt with all the other news about it with Elon Musk, etc. I don’t listen to blogs or podcasts, I’ve just never had the time to get around to it. One step I take to find out if a source is reliable is I check the web address to see if it is real like .gov, .org, etc. I have not found a news story that turned out to be fake on a real website.
