News consumption/ sources may impact your political views and beliefs. For example, if you only view news from conservative sources your political views will mostly likely aline with those beliefs. This is the same if you only consume news from liberal sources. This is why it's important to consume news from a variety of outlets. This will insure that your opinions are your own and not simply those of the people around you. Its also important to stay updated on world events to avoid ignorance and naivety.

I consume most of my new right after school. Typically, I'm not exposed to many news articles unless I'm scrolling mindlessly on my phone. They rarely catch my interest if they're not related to a topic I've already heard about, relate to a current event in my life. or directly impact the lives of my loved ones.
