Top 5 News Sources


Apple News+ - Apple

Apple News

One of my main sources of news is the Apple News App. This app allows you to subscribe to tons of different news outlets and keeps them all stored in one space for easy use. This is usually where I get all of my information from and it is always the first thing to alert me to new news. I get notifications throughout the day from all different news outlets and all you have to do is click on the notification and you are immediately brought to a news source. Some of the news sources that I subscribe to on the app are The Wall Street Journal, CNN, The Washington Post, NBC and so much more. 



Twitter – Apps on Google Play
Twitter


Twitter is another source where I get a lot of my news. Twitter is usually the first place for lots of news stories to break. Twitter is very easy, fast and convenient to use so anyone can post news updates at any time. Twitter also live streams lots of events so you are able to watch things as they are happening. A lot of famous people use Twitter so it is easy to see what your favorite celebrities are up to as well. 


Snapchat (@Snapchat) | Twitter
Snapchat News

Another source of media I use to get my news is Snapchat. Snapchat has a story function where you can subscribe to all kinds of news outlets. They also have small news shows on snapchat where you can watch short videos that will give you a rundown give on all things happening in the world. NCB News has a story that I subscribe to that is called Stay Tuned and I watch it almost everyday and it just gives you a short rundown on all things current in the news. It is a very quick and easy way to get your news and stay updated on whats going on in the world. 


Instagram: A guide for parents
Instagram

When it comes to things like pop culture, Instagram is where I go to get that type of news. Instagram allows you to follow all of you favorite celebrities and influencers and be able to stay updated on all of the latest trends. When it comes to Instagram I like to keep things light and not have my feed filled with the typical news outlets. I follow more pop culture, fashion, and celebrity news on Instagram. Instagram is meant to be more lighthearted and it is where I go when I don't want to read anything to heavy that is happening in the news. 


CBS Boston – Boston News, Sports, Weather, Traffic and Boston's Best
WBZ Boston


The final place I get my news from is channel 4 WBZ Boston. When I am at home and not at school channel 4 news can always be found playing on a TV at my house. My family and I have grown to trust and appreciate this news channel and it is where we get the majority of our information from. They report on all things in Boston and in the world. I feel like I always learn something new when I am watching the news on television.

Diffusion of Innovations

 The innovation that I chose to look at through the lens of the diffusion theory is Netflix. Netflix was one of the first streaming websites and has been the basis for which all streaming sites have copied from. Netflix originally allowed its customers to rent DVD's online and receive them by mail. They later moved fully online and began their online streaming services in 2007. Many people became early adopters of Netflix because they were changing with the times. Netflix single handily put Blockbuster out of business and therefore ended the DVD rental business. As technology started to change so did Netflix. The company was able to keep up with new technological advances and that is why so many people bought into it. The early majority came when Netflix started to release its own original programming, starting with House of Cards. This drew people in and made them want to be apart of what was happening. The late majority came when people realized that DVD's were done for good

What I Learned EOTO

 One of the presentations that stood out to me the most was online influencers. Online influencers are a huge part of our society and I feel like they are not talked about enough. The presentation talked about how these online influencers sometimes have a negative effect on young women. This really resonated with me because sometimes it is hard to look at an influencers social media page and compare it to your own. Their whole careers are social media and it is there job to make their lives look as perfect as possible. Social media influencers do almost nothing but somehow still make so much money and have such a hold on us as a society. An influencer could post a video of them lip singing to a song and they could be getting paid upwards of $1,000 just for that one post.  Influencers It makes it hard on regular people to see these influencers doing almost nothing yet getting rewarded for it. The influencer market is only continuing to grow. Tik Tok has led to a huge surge in more onlin

Bringing Books to Life

You know how people will always say "the book was better than the movie"? Well, most of the time they are right. Writers and producers alike can never seem to get it right when it comes to book to film adaptations. This is why I have decided to make it my lifelong goal to successfully and accurately adapt a book into a major motion picture or television series. Reading and film have always been two of my lifelong passions, so what better way to combine the two than by taking on this endeavor. My love for reading was sparked by the surge of dystopian novels that dominated the book market back in the early 2010's. These books included  The Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner and other books of that sort. All of which were adapted into major motion pictures. Some were adapted successfully while others did the books no justice. Film producers tend to stray from the original plot and story line of the books which ends up resulting in an entirely new story. The key to a good
