NPR is my go-to for soft spoken documentary pieces about uncomfortable topics.
Mostly the wire services (Reuters, AP).
NPR, AP, an Reuters are already mentioned. For leftist/left leaning sources I like Jacobin, truth out, it's going down, Jewish currents, current affairs, the intercept, democracy now, mintpress news (more Canadian centered), and left voice
I tend to follow journalists more than the publications themselves. That said my usual go-to's would be BBC World, CBC, Al-Jazeera, and AP.
Me too. I seriously go to The Onion for news. I started doing it as a joke, but then realized what people want to laugh about gave a much more honest picture of what people actually cared about on a daily basis. I live outside the USA so it's not otherwise obvious to me. It truly is America's Finest News Source.
The court jester is the only one allowed to tell the truth about the king, I guess.
The Economist
Not for breaking news perhaps, but for in-depth analysis and critical commentary the Economist is in a class of it's own. It's the only news magazine I subscribe to. They don't dumb down stories, they treat their readers as adults and they scrupulously avoid sensationalism. The standard of written English is exceptional, (something for which it is renowned). And I love the humor in some of the regular columns. The whole magazine is a joy to read from Letters to Obituaries. 10/10
It is also important because, while there is bias against Russia, the newspaper generally does a good job reporting on taking a step back from the issue to provide something more nuanced than typical news sources.
It also will write articles defending welfare spending if it finds a reason to do so, which it often finds.
Theres this tiktok account that reports using the ai voice of the newscaster fish from spongebob. Surprisingly intresting news from that.
Ah yes, @bikini.bottom.news!
AOL news. Yes, it still exists.
But… why?
Man.. used to be twitter and I don’t have a replacement yet. You could just follow all the journalists you wanted over there it was great. But now I’m migrating away from the app.
I used Twitter too to check for the most up to date local news, but on the website the posts are not sorted chronologically anymore, so it is absolutely useless now
DW News, AP, Reuters, BBC (which I sometimes feel doesn't belong in this list).
One day I just decided news didn't exist and stopped reading any of it. Last I checked it was 1992 and they invented moon pies. What a time to be alive.
BBC
Most often I'll see an article, and then google the topic to find a better place to read about it.
AP & Reuters are pretty good usually
CBC (Canadian public broadcaster) for Canadian stuff. They're pretty reliable and trustworthy while many other broadcasters are owned by an oligopoly of of telecom companies (which surprise, shy away from topics of competition and abuse by the parent companies). I also check out small small local independent places.
Also specific healthcare journals and organizations because I'm involved in that area.
NYTimes
Associated Press. Everyone else just takes their reports and puts their spin on it.
That’s only really true for run of the mill stories. News outlets do their own reporting all the time
Morning Brew. Their daily emails give me just the right amount of news. Most of the major stories in a concise format. I usually hate emails so I was skeptical when setting this up, but I do like it
Ground News. I see all of the same breaking news as anyone else who is tuned into a specific channel, but I can easily compare how the story is being spun.
It’s also nice because I can link the story to anyone, no matter their affiliation, without implicitly endorsing one outlet’s take on what to think about it.
Ground news.
Lemmy for tech stufff https://orf.at for everything else
AllSides
Wall Street Journal and NPR. Try to get the story from each side as well as I can.
tl;dr news and ground news sometimes i find instresting topics on google discover also i mostly find about data breaches by mental outlaw + lemmy may have instresting news
Google News is my usual browse, then AP, Reuters, or axios. Radio npr. Tv msnbc but i get tired of the pundits.
I learn to use RSS and now use an app like feeder for android that gathers news from the places I want without an algorithm deciding for me.
Sure but what are the places you want?
I like tech so mostly Ars Technical , Android authority , XDA Developers , Its FOSS , Torrentfreak.
AP, BBC and NPR
