New York Times
I like the New York Times because it's a moderate to slightly liberal news source, but I feel as though it describes most events from both sides of the aisle. The New York Times has a lot to look at, in addition to news they have opinion pieces, arts, living, and more with many diverse topics in each category. I think it is a great general news source that everyone should check out. The only negative about this news site is it does require a subscription to view most things, but it is only $1.00 a week for the first year!
USA Today
USA Today is one of my favorite news sources to read because they cover a wide range of topics and their layout presents easy to read articles that encourage me to stay connected to the world around me. They cater to a centrist audience, meaning that they are searching for a peaceful, nonpartisan, middle-ground solution to political issues. They also offer amazing human interest stories and cover political issues from both sides of the isle.
BuzzFeed News
BuzzFeed News is news source that specifically caters to young people who are interested in news stories that affect their everyday life. They publish stories that are popular on social media and that appeal to the issues that are important to millennials. It is a heavily left-leaning news source that, despite winning a few Pulitzer Prizes, they have been heavily criticized on their journalistic integrity. I still believe that BuzzFeed is a great place to see stories about women's rights issues and the LGBT community, so I personally enjoy viewing their articles.Vox
Vox's Mission is to explain what is going on in the world in a way that their readers can understand. By including more background and context information than any other news site. They have stunning displays and a beautiful website that makes stories easy to read and digest. They want their readers to form opinions for themselves and so they try to be as neutral as possible and show both sides of a story to give the full scope of information.
C-SPAN
I love C-SPAN because it offers a direct channel of communication from political leaders to their constituents. They are one of the only news sources that offer a completely unbiased view at our government's proceedings. Real, live news with no edit, filter, commentary, or distortion.
