I believe I am very lucky to have grown up in a time where I am able to find out important news in the matter of minutes after something has occurred. In the past, way fewer people had access to information than today.
Newspapers were the only way one can find the news back in the day. They're still used today by some. Newsday is a specific example but there are many others. They are comprised of many stories written by many different people and perspectives. Houses for sale, special deals, and events important events in other countries can all be found in this source. I myself am more inclined to resort to newspapers when I get older because the authors are in fine print and I would be able to know the news is real. The older generations are usually the ones reaching for the paper but as for the younger ones, we depend on alternate sources.
News applications that are accessible on many devices are an easy way to stay updated. These are basically virtual newspapers for those who don't have the time or desire to go out and purchase a physical copy. For example, using Newsday from above, there is an app for that! The odds you find a person under the age of 20 with a Newsday app is very low.https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/newsday/id358571317?mt=8
Snapchat is an app used by a multitude of ages and where the youngsters are bound to be found seeking information. I find myself on this application most out of all of them. There are several categories regarding different types of news and gossip. You're able to subscribe to certain categories so then they are more accessible. The cool thing about snapchat is that seconds after something occurs, it can be posted onto somebody's "story" and be seen by anybody. https://www.apple.com/us/search/snapchat?src=itunes_serp
Youtube is a major platform with so much influence on the population. I personally grew up watching certain you tubers and have always dreamed of becoming one myself. Each influencer has their own message to tell the world on their channels. Many of there channels are news based and it's a great convenient way to hear and learn about the important happenings of the day or week. This is my favorite. https://www.youtube.com
Twitter is another social media app that is accessed by millions of people. Many people use it to share important news and it could be found out in a matter of seconds. I like using it because it is very simple and easy to get educated on the happenings of the day. Also, the most popular news is highlighted and has it's own section. Of course when dealing with social media. https://twitter.com
