Top 5 Sources of News and Information

My list is comprised of the 5 sources that I visit and read the most. Not necessarily the top 5 most reliable sources out there.

1) IGN: This is an American gaming news company. IGN is one of the oldest gaming news webistes out there, launching in September of 1996. I like IGN due to theuir, typically, non-bias reviews. There have been a few controversies when it comes to their reviews. However, when it comes to large video game news companies. You would be hard pressed to find any company with a greater reach or influence than IGN.

2) Bleacher Report: Founded in 2005, Bleacher Report is a sports reporting network. They are one of the most reliable and trusted sports reporting networks out there. Some people worry that when reporting companies get too big there could be a drop in quality. However, this has certainly not been the case with Bleacher Report. They're atricle quality is just as high as ever.

3) Fabrizio Romano: Fabrizio Romano is the top journalist in the world of soccer. He is a widely known and respected journalists on the planet (epsecially in Europe). Even though he is a tier 1 journalist he uses twitter as the main route for him to get his reports and news out to the public. Although he does have a regular news column and his own podcast.

4) The New York Times: This one is pretty self explanitory. Founded in 1851, The NY Times is one of the oldest and longest running newspapers in the US. They are one of the most trusted news sources. Although, even with their long and proud history, they have had some problems recently with being bullied into only reporting one side of certain stories. While this isn't necessarily their fault, as censorship is such a big problem, it is still causing there to be a bit of one-sidedness in their reporting.

5) JPA Football: I know there has been a lot of sports outlets on this list, but these are the places I go to the most. JPA is a small journalists who is very on top of all things football. He often gets news out places like Bleacher Report, mentioned in this list, ESPN, and any other big sports network. It is cool to see a smaller jounalist be so in tune and on top of news. Another one of the benefits that goes along with him being a smaller outlet is that he is not under any of the extra political or outside pressure that may or may not be placed upon the bigger outlets.
