WORLD news for Students




I didn't realize that WORLD magazine had a site devoted to news for Teens. Not that I think you shouldn't be able to digest the news already out there, but I thought you guys might like to check it out.

Having studied journalism in undergrad, I think it's important for us to be involved in Truth telling in our culture. Best way to start is to stay current on what is going on the World. Are there other sites like this you all like to look up?

My Fave News Sources:

Wall Street Journal

Slate Magazine
Politico
Drudge Report
WORLD Magazine

I need to do better at checking in with
BBC
And I've also heard great things about: Real Clear Politics


I also try to check into FOX News and CNN at least once a day. But, the best news is in print form. Now, I'm not as up on my current events as I should be, especially international stuff, but I'm trying to do better about being aware of what is being said in the world of ideas (Living in DC definitely helped make this more of a habit).

The Bible honored those who "understood the times" (1 Chronicles 12:32). And I definitely want to be a woman of wisdom in order to make a difference.

So do you try to keep up with what's going on in our country and the world? If so, any good news sources I should be aware of?
