News Sources
Recommended News Sources (or pick your own)
You are free to select any legitimate news source. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and especially TikTok are generally NOT considered legitimate news sources, unless they link to a legitimate source. Limit their use to opinion pieces; but opinions are not facts.
I subscribe to several newspapers, newsletters and email alerts. These publicans are free to COD students via our library. Just click on the resource.
Remember: The story MUST be about politics, national or international affairs, or government. Please try to report on stories that relate to the current week’s reading materials, if possible.
