In today’s world, we are constantly bombarded by news articles and stories – even on our social media outlets. The amount of content can be overwhelming, so here are some easy ways to find the right news for you on digital outlets.

Only read news on digital outlets from sources you trust

Whether we want to admit it or not, fake news is real and social media is an easy place to fall victim to it. But, a simple way to combat it is by only relying on sources you know and trust to produce accurate stories. It’s also helpful to follow or “like” those outlets on your social media to have easy access when they publish new stories.

Download news apps and turn on (or don’t) notifications

Many digital news outlets have come out with apps for smartphones and tablets. These make it easy to access their stories while bypassing social media altogether. The apps are often customizable and you can pick and choose what topics you like to see. You will also often receive recommendations on which stories you would like.

Utilize Apple News if You Own an iPhone

Apple News is another trusted source similar to individual apps. But, the main difference between it and news outlets’ apps is that it combines every source into one convenient place.

In Apple news, users choose which outlets and topics they would like to “follow”, and your homepage will be customized based on what you chose. It also provides notifications for any breaking news or notable stories about your preferred topics or outlets.
