Media outlets are a vital part of our world, and they help us keep up with what matters. They inform, educate, and inspire. They’re where conversations start. And, if they do their job well, they also build what people talk about, share, and remember.
Some news outlets are more recognizable than others. They’ve made their name with live anchors, big-screen TV broadcasts, and deep reporting. NBC is still around, but they’ve also started streaming on TikTok and boosted their international coverage.
The New York Times is one of the most recognizable newspaper names, but they’re also a leading digital news site that covers politics, money, climate, and science. They have a loyal readership, but they’ve also branched out into games, recipes, and shopping tips. They’ve even got a podcast network and a thriving video platform.
Reuters might not be the first news site you think of, but it’s behind a lot of the news you see. Founded in 1851, they’re all over the world, and you’ll often see stories crediting “via Reuters.” They also provide text, photos, videos, and data to thousands of newsrooms, websites, and trading platforms.
CBS is the oldest of the major American networks, and they’re known for their 60 Minutes and CBS News broadcasts. They’ve also branched out with local news in cities across the country, as well as online and YouTube video channels. AllSides gives CBS a Lean Left rating, and some people find that their political coverage is heavy-handed.
