My 5 News Sites

With all the controversy happening in the United States and all over the world, it's hard to keep track and stay up to date. Social Media makes it easy to stay up to date on the latest events that happen over night.

NBC News:
When I first wake up in the morning I check my phone and one of the first things I see is all the notifications that I get from NBC News that happened over night. Most of the things that NBC News covers is new events that develop in the United States. They do cover some things around the world but they mostly cover news in the United States. Another great quality about NBC News is that they aren't so politically biased, they just give you all the facts and they let you develop your own views on the subject matter.

BBC:
A quick and reliable source that I use to get all the news that happening around the world. They do have a section that is just dedicated to the United States news but other news sites that specialize in the U.S. news are way better but BBC is a great source to get news and information about the war happening in Syria or whats happening in North Korea.

E News:
After reading a getting caught up on all the U.S. and worldly news, I like to lighten the mood with some celebrity or pop culture news. This source is a great source to receive all of the newest information about the Kardashians or what block buster movies are going to win at the Oscars. E news isn't like the tabloids that are filled with false information, they do the research to make sure that all the information they are publishing is 100% true.

Snapchat:
When people think of news they typically say snapchat, but this a great news source for millennial. Most millennials have a snapchat that they use on the daily. On snapchat They have a story called "Stay Tuned" and it's actually part of NBC News. This is a great way to get all the latest information in a quick easy video. They have one big story that they spend most of the time discussing all the details, then they talk briefly about all the stuff involving president trump and news around the world, finally they end their broadcast with a light hearted discussion about a new viral video of a cute puppy or a toddler experiencing snow for the first time.

Twitter:
Twitter can be very hostile when it comes to news because everyone can voice their own opinion on the matter, but it is a good source to get just a quick glimpse into what is happening in the world and U.S. Twitter is very easy to use source so millennials and older people can use it without having any difficulties.

The supreme court

After watching the video in class about how the supreme court works was very helpful. The supreme court originally had 6 chief justices but over time the number of Chief Justices increased to 10 which is what we have today. The supreme court receives about 10,000 petitions a year and they choose which cases they want to go forward with. Majority of the supreme court cases that we see are appeals from lower courts and these cases come from the federal level courts. They won't just take cases that are appeals but they will take cases from the lower federal court that cannot agree on how to interpret the law involved. they accept a wide variety of cases every year. By taking a case that involves an issue that has led to differing opinions in lower courts.

Agenda Setting

Agenda setting describes a very powerful influence of the media and the ability to tell us what issues are important. In 1922, the newspaper columnist Walter Lippman felt concerned about the media and the power media had to present images to the public. This goes as far back as 1922 and we still see if today in our current society. In 1968 a research was done and they found two elements, awareness and information. The information that they gathered from the research was that McCombs and Shaw’s presidential campaign was mainly focused was to attempt to assess the relationship between what voters in one community said were important issues and the actual content of the media messages used during the campaign. Agenda-setting is the creation of public awareness and concern of salient issues by the news media. Most research of agenda-setting have underlining of two basic assumptions: 1.)

Supreme Court hands Trump administration a victory in immigration battle

On Tuesday the Supreme Court gave the Trump administration a victory in the battle to clamp down on illegal immigration by making it easier to detain immigrants with criminal records. Most people are reading this or maybe don't understand what this means, here's an example,  Federal immigration authorities can detain immigrants awaiting deportation anytime after they have been released from prison on criminal charges. The right-wing conservatives argued that if there was a harsher process on illegal immigration or illegal immigrants then we can start to eliminate this problem. On the other hand, the left-wing liberals argue that the people who get involved with immigration should have a hearing to argue their release while deportation proceedings go forward. With the 5-4 decision on Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled against them.  https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-administration-notches-victory-in-immigration-battle-with-supreme-court-ruling
