TOP FIVE SOURCES OF NEWS AND INFORMATION

 1. AP (Associated Press) https://apnews.com/

The main reason I chose the Associated Press is that it aims to provide unbiased news. It mainly focuses on delivering straightforward facts without dramatizing them. It also has a dedication to neutrally and broad accessibility with no paywall. Their coverage is from multiple perspectives, avoiding the dominance of a single political or cultural lens. It is also known for its extensive editorial process and has cemented its reputation as a trustworthy and impartial news source. 

2. The Wall Street Journal https://www.wsj.com/

The Wall Street Journal is a reputable source because it focuses on business and economic trends. I feel that its editorial pages run mostly center-right, but it is factual and never really has any problems with it having very accurate reporting on both domestic and international issues. I mostly read and watch its content when it comes to global matters.

3. The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/
Although the New York Times may be liberal in its editorial stance and some reporting choices, it is overall committed to factual, in-depth journalism, which makes it a reliable source. The paper also frequently issues corrections when errors are identified. It does, however, have many contributors from various political backgrounds

4.  The Joe Rogan Experience. https://open.spotify.com/show/4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMk



I enjoy watching The Joe Rogan Experience due to the fact that he brings in such a large amount of diverse people to the podcast.  It can be anything from TheoVon making jokes for 3 hours to Mark Zuckerberg explaining how Facebook works. I also liked how he tried to have both major parties, Trump and Harris, come in and talk on the podcast. He also had (at the time) presidential cadet Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the show. He has (as of writing) 2,260 episodes. I will say that if there's a topic you want to know about, then he probably has a podcast about that.  
5. Fox Business https://www.foxbusiness.com/
I get a lot of my news from Fox Business because it has a significant business sense. Meaning that it will not have any actual bias since it has to do with the economic world and not the political world. An example of this is its covering of new tariffs. It doesn't cover it as a political issue but rather the economic details of the problem. I also get most of my news from the market here.
