[noun] + によると [noun] + によれば
によると means "according to". It follows a noun for where you got the information – a person, the news, a forecast, a survey – and the sentence usually ends on a hearsay marker such as そうだ or らしい.
The ending marks the information as second-hand: そうだ for "I hear", らしい for "apparently", とのことだ or ということだ in more formal reporting.
The two mean the same and swap freely. によれば sounds slightly more formal.
によると reports what someone else said. For your own view, use わたくし私のかんがえ考えでは or とおもいます思います.
