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.
- Democracy Now!
- DW (Germany)
- France 24
- PBS / NPR
- Global News (Canada)
- propublica
- AP
- Al Jazeera
- BBC World News
- various youtubers for niche or more world / non western news and geopolitics and trade etc
- lemmy
The Guardian, Democracy Now, and /r/politics
democracy now! is legit a core news reporting source for many unreported and underreported stories. thumbs up for DN!
edit: add link
Ya, my personal fav, I try to at least watch the headlines, but usually dig into some of the featured interviews for the day. Amy Goodman is a legend
This sounded good and it says it reports global news, but every story on the front page is US centric?
It’s definitely intended for US audiences. They do long-running features on topics like the war in Gaza, and they touch on important global events like contested elections, but its perspective is rooted in progressive US politics.
Lemmy, Reddit, Instagram, local communities on Signal and Discord
just lemmy and reddit for me and then cross reference
The Guardian, The Tyee, BBC, CBC, Reuters and AP, with a dash of utterly unreliable press from abroad.
Nice, all that covers a lot of bases right there
OK, partly off topic: I’m new here and in the fediverse in general. Trying to find out what is what and where I want to be part of.
So I figure I go to Ask Lemmy, where I see your question and found it interesting.
To my surprise, since I was under the impression lemmy.ml was a real leftist place I see mostly horrible MSM sources.
Was I wrong?lemmy.ml federates with almost all instances most of which aren’t leftist, the admins are leftist as is a lot of the local userbase, but the moderation varies between communities and this one tends to be one of the more permissive ones. If you want one that’s more exclusively leftist you’re probably looking for Hexbear or Lemmygrad.
I listen to pods at work: NPR and DemocracyNow for my daily news, then weekly news/commentary from Labor Stoppage, Citations Needed, Some More News/Even More News, The East is a Podcast, The Deprogram, and ChapoTrapHouse.
Thank you for sharing, I’ll look into these!
I usually check things in this order:
National newspaper
Local newspaper
Reuters
Lemmymy less-susceptible-to-depression spouse
News in my mother tongue, not beneficial to English speaker people
Do you ever compare it to news outside of your region?
No
The Tyee, The Daily Show, late night w/ Seth Meyers, The Guardian, and Legal Eagle.
LE is a good one.
NPR, BBC, and RTÉ primarily. Subscribed through RSS
The classics.
Some other good ones are Semafor and 404Media
Gosh, do they still do RSS feeds? I so miss that era of the internet.
You know it. I’ve found that most of the news sites still do RSS feeds for their stuff
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…
On my end, I tend to watch democracy now, read cbc, npr, ap, and reuters, and then follow plenty of youtube channels for different takes on a variety of subjects. Always looking for new stuff though, so I appreciate all the replies!
