Getting Current Event Information There are limitless sources from which to get information: you can use newspapers, magazines, webzines, TV news reports, and websites. You do not need to bring the article to class, only the summary. DO NOT use TV programs that are not legitimate news programs. Programs like Inside Edition, Access Hollywood, and the like are NOT news sources; they are entertainment. You may use serious news programs like the evening news (local or national), Frontline, Nightline, etc. You may also use political commentary programs like Hardball with Chris Matthews, Meet the Press, Face the Nation, This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Fox News Sunday, etc. Some suggestions for News Magazines are: World, National Review, Newsweek, US News & World Reports, the American Conservative, the Federalist. These are just a few –there are many out there. Try the local library. ** Websites/Webzines: ** [] [|www.fotf.org] (you’ll find citizen magazine, as well as others here) [|www.breakpoint.org] [|www.worldmag.com] (click on search archives & type in the subject your are researching) [] [|www.journalnow.com] (Winston-Salem Journal site)
