Keeping Up With the News


Come to class informed. Be inquisitive and curious about the world.




Read, Watch and Listen


Know what’s happening in current events, both in our community and in the 

state, nation and world. Read newspapers or on-line news sources, listen

to radio news (such as KOA-850AM, campus radio, Radio 1190AM, or

NPR), and definitely watch television news.  


Some suggested sources to keep you informed on local, national and world 

news:

www.dailycamera.com 

www.coloradodaily.com

www.thedenverchannel.com

www.denverpost.com 

www.cnn.com

www.nytimes.com

http://news.bbc.co.uk/

Also, don't forget the CU Independent, the campus online newspaper.

NOTE: NewsTeam has an agreement with The Daily Camera, CNN, and The Denver Channel (KMGH-TV Denver's 7) to use video from their websites.

We don't have permission to use anything from AP sources.

Just because you can get it off the Internet doesn't mean we can use it on our show. Sources from Google images, and even YouTube videos, are copyright protected.


Don't take for granted that what you read is always true. If you're 

curious about controversial ideas or extraordinary claims, then these 

websites are available to help clarify various viewpoints.

www.factcheck.org

The Annenberg Political Fact Check is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, "consumer 

advocate" site for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and 

confusion in U.S. politics. They monitor the factual accuracy of what is said 

by major U.S. political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, 

interviews, and news releases.


www.politifact.com

PolitiFact is a project operated by the St. Petersburg Times, a project in

which its reporters and editors fact-check statements by members of

Congress, the White House, lobbyists and interest groups. They publish

original statements and their evaluations on the website and assign a

"Truth-O-Meter' rating.


www.snopes.com

This site addresses common fallacies, misinformation, old wives' tales, 

strange news stories, rumors, celebrity gossip and similar items. The site is 

operated by David and Barbara Mikkelson, a California couple who don't 

expect anyone to accept them as the ultimate authority on any topic, which

is why their site's name indicates that it contains reference pages.
