What websites/apps/whatever do you use to get your news?
https://www.improvethenews.org/
This is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them.
Holy shit that’s awesome. This may become my goto when linking stories to the Fediverse.
This sounds cool, lemme check it out
Fascinating! Thanks for the link. This is the sort of thing I was hoping for.
This just replaced ground news for me, very nice.
You guys don’t let a bunch of strangers in the internet curate the news for you, then fight them in the comments?
Absolutely not. I upvote all the people I agree with initially then down vote the dumbass who tried to go against us in our own thread!
Get your own damn thread down lower! Quit mooching our beans way up at the top.
Well, actually, that’s exactly what I do.
I listen to NPR Up First podcast. The give you a nice overview in 10 minutes. https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510318/up-first
AP, unless the article is about a protest
Aljazeera, unless the article is about Qatar
Reuters, unless the article is about non-G20 countries
BBC, unless the article is about the UK
CBC, unless the article is about Canada
The guardian
I used to like them but they are a bit too biased for me nowadays

Seems legit
reddit, lets be honest. we wouldnt be here if that wasnt our main source
I use RSS to aggregate articles from different news sites. my feed’s a bit nascent at the moment, though.
I like watching Phillip DeFranco in
YouTubeInvidious. When covering major stories he is very good at delivering crutial information simply and quickly, and while he does have opinions, they are always very transparent, so you can spot the bias from the facts. Also, he has a habit of correcting the rare mistakes this beautiful bastard makes.Ah I remember watching him years ago, good to know he’s still around. Although it looks like he does more internet drama videos rather than real-world news
NPR, Reuters, the AP, occasionally NYT or WaPo, Forbes, Business Insider, various tech blogs, local news channels, etc.
We’re pretty much the same although I ditched WaPo cause Bezos.
I do add the BBC and France24 if there’s a large international story breaking.
I’ve found the NYT articles to be mid but they seem to always be quick about reporting breaking news.
newzit.com for international news, Polsat News for Polish/sport news and Slashdot for tech news. I add them to RSS whenever possible.

The streets. You can’t trust newspapers, tv, social media. But the streets, the streets you can always trust.
…Wouldn’t most people in the streets be getting their news from tv and social media?
infowars is the only trustworthy new source, amirite?
I’m in Canada, where the tech giants just blocked all Canadian media outlets due to new media profit sharing legislation.
I get my news from:
- Nora Loreto’s daily news podcast
- Mastodon #cdnpoli #onpoli #topoli
- Direct from CBC, Toronto Star
- Lemmy
- What my friend group shares on Discord.
I haven’t been as invested in news lately, but this looks a little promising: https://dailycanada.ca/ It’s an rss feed from all media outlets in Canada.
I’m subscribed to three publications: The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Foreign Affairs. I regularly read articles from The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Foreign Policy, The Diplomat, and other publications like ProPublica. I also read academic blogs on journalism, nuclear weapons, and other topics. I follow a lot of academics and experts on Twitter to get their hot takes.
