Curious to get the pulse from lemmy on where y’all look to for your various sources of news.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events is the most neutral source of news I know. I read it every day.
thanks for introducing me to that list. at worst this makes for an excellent overview.
Lemmy, Reddit, Instagram, local communities on Signal and Discord
just lemmy and reddit for me and then cross reference
Believe it or not, I think the Christian Science Monitor puts out good articles. I’m not religious. I’m also not in the current US conservative camp. It’s too bad it’s paywalled. But the few articles I’ve read actually seemed nicely nuanced, pretty balanced, and interesting.
my less-susceptible-to-depression spouse
https://www.npr.org/ and https://www.mprnews.org/ are my go to sources
I mostly don’t follow the news; I value my mental health too much for that these days…
For any German, correctiv should be a must go to…although it’s not necessarily daily news but rather weekly and investigative journalism. Politico.eu for europeans, deutschlandfunk, Tagesschau, lemmy, reddit
But as some people have hinted as well… Visiting news sites nowadays can only make you depressed really…
A centrist mainstream national newspaper to be aware of what the political mainstream is concerned about.
Al Jazeera for international news.
Articles sent to me by friends and comrades for news on more specific matters that may not make more mainstream news.
And groupchats and internal publications of organisations I’m in for both more politically-relevant news (eg news of local strikes that often aren’t otherwise reported on) and commentary.
About ten separate sources. A little bit of right, a little bit of left, some national, some international. I find this really exposes the bias some sources put on stories, and after a while you can tell which source it is just by words used in the headline and even by what news they don’t report.
Some good suggestions in this thread, I’ll be adding some new feeds.
I stopped using Google News because all it did was depress me. Lemmy and podcasts now.
National and local newspapers, national and local news stations.
I usually read from every source, but i have my favorites like UOL notícias, G1, Carta Capital and Metropóles (brazillian here). But to deal with international content I started to use a tool that changed my life some years ago… it´s called newsblur . I can have everything i want from that since it works on web3 sites and RSS. And when I mean everything im not only talking about news. I can catch up with my my wiki project contributions and changes, the updates from my linux distro and even news from every website in 3 different languages. Just make an account and paste link, classify as you wish, mute what you don’t want to be bothered with and never get yourself chasing what to read in news matter.
My feed reader; there’s a couple bloggers and a singular journalist that I follow. I have a digital subscription to a national newspaper as well.
Lemmy primarily, Podcasts, The Daily Show, Google News, Bluesky a little
Don’t you dare downvote me for the Google News. I KNOW.
