How Do You Consume News?

 There are many ways to catch up on the news especially if you have a busy day and you are on the go. After researching, here are a few you can try out. Some are ones I have learned from professors while others come from an article entitled 9 Easy Ways To Keep Up With Current Events As A Student. In the article they mention, Podcasts saying, “Yes, we’d all prefer to listen to fun podcasts like My Favorite Murder, but current events podcasts can be an excellent way to keep up to date with the news if you’re short on time.

The main benefit of podcasts is that you can listen on the go. This means you can take a listen to a quick podcast on a walk between lectures and come back super informed about current events. So where can you find these news podcasts? Most podcast-streaming platforms will have a ‘news’ section where you can view the most popular current events podcasts. Here, you’ll find daily or weekly news podcasts that give you a quick update of everything that’s happening in the news at the moment. These podcasts only take 20 minutes or so to listen to each day – a small commitment to keeping yourself informed.”

I have listened to a good number of podcasts and I would even add news radio to the list as well. A few I have listened to are NPR and the BBC.

 

The article also mentions News apps saying, “Traditional news apps are one of the most efficient ways to keep yourself up to date with current events.

The best part is that most of the time you won’t even have to open the apps to keep up with important news. Many news apps will now send you breaking news notifications whenever there’s an important story and will outline the main points.”

I am all for news applications and learn more credible information from them than I do from social media at times. I recommend CNN, Apple News or even Google Alerts. Many of those options have you pick what type of news is important to you so it can be personalized and you just have to take a glance throughout the day.

I would love to continue the conversation in the comments. How do you consume news on a busy day?

    Personally I LOVE a good podcast! I listen to a few girls in law school currently to see how their lives are before I decide to join in on the fun LOL. I also have a large variety of news platforms (all political affiliations) linked on my home screen so I can see all stories from all sides. After being a public relations major for a couple of years you find the joy in reading/researching today's news and that is how I find 90% of my information.

Can I be Klondike?

Being Klondike, the mascot here at Ohio Northern, is a big deal! It is a huge reveal when the persons who are Klondike graduate or end their Klondike careers. I have heard and have seen many pictures of the head reveal, and it is an exciting event for everyone. I happen to have a background as a mascot, and the hope to be Klondike one day is there. In my senior year of high school, no one was able to be our high school's mascot, Sparty the Spartan. There was one basketball game, and the opposing school had brought their mascot the Colt. I turned to my sister and our best friend Grace and said where's Sparty? I then ran over to my principal, who is a dear family friend to ask where Sparty was and that I wanted to be Sparty for the game. He laughed, and we went to get the outfit. This was a spur of the moment, but knowing how fun I am, this wasn't surprising to many. Let me preface that the costume had just been dry cleaned, and I am 5'3. The outfit was a little bit b...

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

  For my final blog post, I had this big thank you letter written to Aggie but accidentally deleted it. So now I am going to write something a little bit more exciting! The holidays!!! December has a lot of fun days coming up!!   For starters it is Christmastime so listening to Christmas music is one of my favorite things to do in the car and studying for exams. During December there are a few other celebrations. My twin, Andrea and I are celebrating our 21 st birthday on Dec.20 and my mom’s birthday is Dec.26! Those will be great celebrations with a lot of adult beverages.   I am a huge fan of traditions or yearly events especially during the holiday season.One of the things my family does is drive around the neighborhood or a light display and see all the pretty lights and set ups. I went with Zach and a couple of friends this past weekend to the Upper Sandusky lights! They did not disappoint. I am looking forward to seeing new light displays in our new neighborhoo...

So Long Spooky Season

    So Long Spooky Season             This past weekend was Halloween!! Friday night was a girls night! A group of friends and I went to two events on campus. The first was called A Haunted Walk sponsored by the student planning committee (SPC). This occurred out by the sand volleyball courts and we walked along the green monsters with spooky stores shared along the way. It was a good event, I would have loved to see it even more interactive but happy it was short as it was cold and rainy. The second event was Haunted Hill Sponsored by a Fraternity and History group on campus. It was a little spooky if I’m being honest. Friday night was a great time!             On Saturday My boyfriend Zach and I had a great time! We worked Admissions in the morning, then I went to the ONU volleyball game (which ONU won) and then I took a nap. Zach was on call so he stayed in his ...
