I tend to consume a good bit of news every week. I find keeping up with current events to be great not only for personal knowledge but also for conversation starters. News is not just what is in the paper, what happened today, it's also entertainment. The way in which news is presented to us is often times dramatized to draw more viewership or sell more copies. The more news seems like entertainment, the more likely they've drifted from the facts. So I like to draw a more informed opinion from listening to more than one outlet.
RocaNews is a much more recent news organization. It was founded in 2020 and within a year had already gained over a million followers on Instagram. RocaNews tries to deliver the news without the fluff or tilt that other outlets bring. It gives short summaries each day of most current events with posts on Instagram and more recently its new app that just launched on iOS and Andriod. The kind of news RocaNews presents can be anything, Politics, Sports, Tech, etc., there's never a shortage and never an obvious tilt.
Fox News seems like it's been around forever, but was only founded in 1996. Fox News is one of the largest news organizations in America and has been the most watched network on cable for a while. Fox News reports both nationally and locally on anything that might seem interesting to viewers. They report on everything business, politics, sports, etc. Politically they lean more to the right, however they tend to have more political variety than other networks.
ESPN, or the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network was founded in 1979. It has been where Americans all across the country can watch sports. ESPN provides commentary and analysis on both games and players. They also contribute written articles that sometimes are more informative than their television commentary.
CNN has been around since 1980. Similarly to Fox News it reports on almost everything, business, politics, sports, etc. Politically CNN and Fox News are compared as the left and right-wing news outlets respectively. CNN though I believe is more to the left than Fox News is to the right, simply due to CNN's lack of political diversity in its opinions.
The Daily Wire was founded in 2015. It is mainly a news and entertainment organization that provides coverage through a more conservative lens. They don't hide the fact that they cover the news in this way, and provide accurate and sometimes breaking news. It's a great way to look at the news from a different perspective.
