* What sources do you use to get your news? Why do you choose those sources?

 I found news relevant because you can generate your own perspective after consuming news. I read San Juan Star just to have the opportunity of reading in English. The Center for Investigative Journalismhas a legit platform. Some Facebook groups like Noticias Salinas and Salinas Ayer y Hoy help me stay connected to local realities. I also follow the journalist and author Rafael Acevedo from Claridad. I follow Jay Fonseca since the 2010 student strike. I don’t consume much television, but for the weather I follow Telemundo. I also follow Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly, the American commentator and journalist. I choose these sources because I believe progress starts with balance within the investigative canons "left wing versus right wing" always to arm ourselves intellectually.

This diversity of sources allows me to compare narratives, detect bias, Biopolitics  and resist passive consumption of information. Bio politics is a concept in political theory that explores how governments and authorities regulate human life, populations, and bodies as a form of power. The term is most closely associated with Michel Foucault, who believed  that modern states exercise control not just through laws or force, but by managing health, reproduction, mortality, and norms of everyday life.

Reading across ideological lines strengthens critical thinking and helps me understand how power, language, and framing operate in media. 

News becomes not only information but a practice of civic responsibility. I also take notes, share articles with "peers" and participate in discussions to reflect on different perspectives and their implications. Engaging actively helps me form opinions that are reasoned rather than reactive. As Pedro Albizu Campos said, “Civilization is not the electric light, nor the automobile, nor the atomic bomb. Civilization is the respect for human dignity.” That idea guides how I read, question, and position myself as an informed citizen who values knowledge, empathy, philanthropy  and critical judgment in understanding the world around me.
