Top 5 News Sources - Blog Post 1

 


Barstool Sports will always be my number one source of news. They have so many options of podcasts and videos for whatever one specific person wants to listen to. They have sports shows, reality shows, and help shows. Two of my favorite podcasts of theirs are "Pardon My Take" and "Chicks in the Office." They have something for everyone and is my personal favorite. 



ESPN is my second favorite source of news because I absolutely love sports. ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN+ are all channels that I will play on my T.V. or laptop all the time. They have great informative shows on players, teams, and coaches and they stream the games that I watch all the time. ESPN is great because if you just want to watch sports, you are able to do that but, you also have the ability to hear much more about the game and the people involved.



Fox News is another favorite channel of mine to get news about current events and what is going on in the world. There is so much information that is packed into one episode of Fox News. One is really able to get a grasp on what is going on around the country and the world by just watching Fox one time. 

Twitter is another place where I really get a lot of my news from. It is a fast moving platform where information can change in a matter of seconds and one can still be up to date. It is a good platform because there is a possibility to turn on notifications and receive news based off of just how fast one is able to read.

The last place is get a lot of my news from is Bleacher Report. Bleacher Report is a place to be completely up to date on sports news such as trades, scores, and injuries. For me, it mostly gives information about trades in different sports about the teams that I like. This is a setting that you can add to the app and it will give news only about one's favorite teams or sports.

Get To Know Me!

 Hey! My name is Ava Sames. Thats me ->


I am a junior at High Point University studying Sports Communications with a minor in Marketing. 


I love learning about journalism and media but I know that media is a business and I wanted to have some background that would be beneficial. 

On campus, I run my own podcast called HPU Sports Talk. That is a screenshot of my show on Spotify! 


I am really proud of my journey to start the podcast and where I am planning on taking it. "To the moon," they say! 


My goal is to one day work for Barstool Sports and be a part of a show. 


Some fun quirky information about me is that I absolutely quesadillas. But, quesadillas are not only what you get from Moe's. You can make a delicious breakfast quesadilla with eggs, peppers, and mushrooms. Or, you can have an American quesadilla with buffalo chicken and provolone! The possibilities are endless.
