In a time of growing disinformation online and increased political tension throughout the country, it’s crucial to be aware of how you get your information. We asked The Wolf staff what their #1 sources of information about the world were, and, as it turns out, they seek their news from a wide variety of places.
“My #1 source to get information is The New York Times.” – Ariana Burgos-Davila, Staff Writer
“TikTok and Google…yikes.” – Duaa Hassan, Staff Writer
“I get random pieces of info through the internet, but the rest through reading or school.” – Violet Wilbourn, Staff Writer
“Verified online news sources, since they’re so quickly updated, but you have to compare articles to each other to verify information.” – Morgan Shantz, Staff Writer
“I don’t usually stick to one source, because most (if not all) major news sources have political biases.” – Max Harden, Co-Art Editor
“Usually, when things happen, I hear about them from people first. I’m usually either at school or at work, so people will say something when a big event happens. I dive in afterwards to do more research through Google or social media, though.” – Lyan Abdulhaq, Website Editor
“The NYT.” – Helena Vargas, Co-Editor-in-Chief & News Editor
“I get most of my information from Instagram on the occasion that I scroll. Typically, though, I learn things through others telling me, since I’m not always up to date on everything.” – Liv Bologna, Staff Writer
“I don’t have a particular place I prefer to get information from, but if I do find myself looking for information, I make sure the information presented is consistent and isn’t biased.” – Esmeralda De Leon, Co-Editor-in-Chief & Fold Editor
