Are you a marketing student or professional that wishes to be currently updated with the most important industry and societal news?

Very frequently during my lecturers students either ask me to suggest some sources to follow or I feel that some sources I mention are not known to them.

Thus, I have developed a thorough list to support you!

Sources are organized into four categories:

a. Business; b. Innovation; c. Science; and d. Entertainment/World News.

My main suggestion is: “Follow” all sources and after some time keep the ones you’ve preferred or that best matches your interests. But give them all a chance!

Ps: Sources are listed in alphabetical order, under each topic.

Here we go!
