Staying Informed

1- Follow the daily news. Find a newspaper that you like and read it daily. With the advent of the Internet, this has become a very easy task. Reading your local news is not enough, so try to absorb the news at regional, national and international levels, too. You want to know as much about the wider world as possible. You can even try reading several different daily newspapers. You might want to read commentaries on the news as well. Being aware of different opinions is important for creating a general overview of what is happening in the world.

2- Take notes about key areas. Jot down notes about areas of the world that you are interested in. These notes can be a solid foundation for your later research. For example, let’s say that you have just read an article about ISIS. If you write down details about the countries ISIS occupies, such as Iraq and Libya, then you can find out more about how the current situation started.

  • Stay critical. Do not necessarily take everything you read at face value. Notice the biases and omissions of different newspapers instead of simply taking in talking points.


3- Listen to news radio. Tune in to a radio broadcast of the news. The BBC and NPR are both good places to get solid world news. Since both are publicly funded, they may not be as biased as other news sources. News radio is also helpful because you will receive guidance on how to pronounce names of important regions and people.


4- Read current events magazines. Magazines like Harper’s MagazineThe AtlanticThe EconomistDer Spiegel, and The New Yorker are good places to find out about what’s happening in the world. You may be able to find copies at your local library. If not, you may have to subscribe to the magazines you enjoy. These periodicals will give you details about the events you have read or heard about in the news. They often run comprehensive articles that focus on a specific region or topic.
