I am very interested in keeping up with current events at all times and I have found that the BBC News App delivers the best mix of news for me.
For the last couple of years, I have used the CNN APP to keep up to date with news. I like the way the CNN App delivers the news and packages it in a way that I can quickly scroll through and stay up to date on the latest stories. The CNN App has provided me a way of tracking breaking news as well as keeps a broader look at what is going on in the United States. Recently, however, I have switched my news app to the BBC News App.
The BBC has been around for a very long time. They have affiliates and established offices nearly everywhere around the world. For many years, the BBC World Service provided shortwave broadcast to many of the countries around the world including the remote regions of the Earth. In addition, while the BBC does report on American Headlines, the BBC provides headlines from the many places where they have offices. This gives a unique perspective. A perspective that I like to have.
Another benefit of the CNN and BBC apps are the notification ability. This notification option will place a statement on my iPhone when a breaking news event occurs. The BBC broadened this feature in that now I receive more international events being alerted than simply domestic news. As we are beginning to see more and more, the world and its interconnectedness is getting smaller and smaller. It is good to be notified and informed about the broader issues concerning our world and to discover ways to be involved.
