It is easier to stay connected with the internet and mobile apps giving updates on current events by the second. Even if people were cooped up in an office for an entire day, they could know what's happening with the rest of the outside world with a swipe on their handheld device.

News agencies and app developers were quick to adapt to the way people consume stories and the news now, and these are some of the most popular apps that are available on most platforms:

Flipboard gathers all kinds of information from news feeds, social networks, and websites and presents them in a magazine format. It covers numerous topics that are organized by category.

Buzzfeed still provides fun content and countless lists of anything, but it now also has a news app "for the most important and interesting stories around the world, handpicked by their editors."

Feedlyallows users to search and select articles from various publications, to bookmark and save for reading later, and to organize them by topic.

CNN and Al Jazeera are giant broadcast companies and have expanded the news to apps. CNN features video news on top of articles, with a focus on the U.S.; Al Jazeera has a broader scope and reports news from around the world.
