Large internet companies such as Facebook or Google have long realized that this is a time when the flow of news has become too great. Now people need not just the latest news, but the rightly selected latest news.
Information channels
Someone likes to watch the Discovery channel, someone NTV - both viewers turn on TV for news, but the information selection is completely different. All over the world, every minute there are so many events that we, even with a great desire, will not be able to learn about everything.
At a certain moment, information overload occurs. Every day from all sides various "novelties", "promotions just for us", "political disagreements", "economic crisis", "new shampoo for hair dyed in blue", "super-massager for thighs", " attempted robbery ", etc.
Mass media is the most widespread information channel. There are a large number of publications, radio and TV programs in the world that we do not have time to hide. And we always know what we might not be interested in.
How do I get the latest news?
It's simple, you need to set up your information channels. First, you need to decide what kind of news you would like to always receive: from the world of new technologies, medical, political, or directly from people who influence the life of the country.
Secondly, decide on the information channel. Where is it easier for you to receive news from? Radio, television, newspaper, internet? With radio and TV, everything is clear - you need to turn on the programs you are interested in at a certain time. The newspaper is also a common thing, but there is one drawback - this source may offer "canned news", i.e. two days ago. Do not forget that it takes time to typeset and print a publication.
The internet is the best place to get the latest news. But everything is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. As noted above, the CEOs of Internet giants that provide content are thinking that the streams of information have become so huge that users are starting to drown in them.
There are online publications that offer to know the latest news, the most famous are Lenta.ru, Gazeta.ru, Izvestia, etc. These publications publish news almost around the clock, they fight for readers and for the freshness of information, translate foreign articles and promptly request comments from responsible persons.
Social networks are another matter. Here you set up your newsfeed (news feed) manually. This is a very convenient way to get the latest news. Moreover, this information channel combines two important aspects: world news and the news of your friends.
For example, to set up a newsfeed on Vkontakte or Facebook, you just need to add a person as a friend, or subscribe to updates of groups and pages. But still, your news feeds will be littered with ads that you don't always want to see.
Google + or Twitter are great sites for filtering your news feed. Google + has a section called "News" with a menu on the left with news topics. You yourself can customize the news flow depending on your interests - this is very convenient, the social network covers all publications that publish their news on the global network.
Twitter is convenient because you can follow specific people - these can be politicians, show business stars, entrepreneurs. Moreover, you are not limited geographically, you can even subscribe to a resident of South Korea, as the rules, famous people write in English, tk. understand that their audience can be from a wide variety of countries.
