Websites for News


The Center for Biological Diversity
When it comes to getting out information on some of the most controversial conservation issues, there aren't many better than The Center for Biological Diversity. On their site as soon as you reach the main page they have the latest stories about every conservation issue you could imagine. It ranges from fracking to wolves, from the dumping of wastes to government backed attacks on wildlife, checking the site regularly is a great way to stay caught up with the latest news. 



ESPN
No one has the coverage, inside information, and up to date details that ESPN has, and there is no other network or magazine or website that covers all major sports to the level that ESPN does. They have former pros on staff breaking the sport down for the viewers, insiders in all sports gathering the newest  stories, and some of the best broadcasters in the world on staff. ESPN brings the average reader a professional, well put together, concise piece on their favorites team and players, all at the click of a mouse. ESPN is the pinnacle of sports reporting, on air and on paper.

Bleacher Report
Finding itself a niche in the sport industry, Bleacher Report has established itself as a reliable and interesting place to catch up on sports news. With articles on nearly every team of every major sport, there are always new reads, and they are never afraid to put out the latest rumors, which can keep things interesting. Bleacher Report has found success by trying to do its own thing, and it has been working, unlike some other sports networks trying to take on ESPN. All in all, Bleacher Report isn't up to ESPN level, but they always have new and interesting reads. 


BBC Earth
If you want unbiased, trust worthy writing on the major conservation issues, BBC Earth is as good as it gets. They don't have the bulk of stories on every issue possible like The Center for Biological Diversity, but they have very professional pieces on the most important issues. They have senior reporters who are some of the best writers in the world, and are great about giving you all the facts, while leaving it up to you to form an opinion. Recently changed from BBC Nature to BBC Earth, they still have the same quality and professionalism that comes with BBC.

CNN
I am not one to watch the news every night, or check up on the latest stories everyday, but when I want to see what is going on around the world, I check out CNN. With constant new stories pouring out, there are always new reads about nearly every topic imaginable. A lot of their stories do share their opinion in the piece one way or another, but generally the writing is professional and straight forward. CNN gives you the latest breaking news all over the world, all in one easy to navigate site, in a way that is easy to understand and make sense of.
