I like NPR and PBS but am curious if there are other good news sources elsewhere. Particularly elsewhere in the world, outside of the US.
[Readtangle.org](Tangle News). It’s independent, and non-partisan. Good for getting out of your news bubble without becoming overwhelmingly frustrated by the other side. And doesn’t resort to hyperbole and clickbait.
None. Ignorance is better for my mental health right now.
Like yeah, I obviously know that people are horrible and that the world is burning up, but I’d rather just not have to read about children being murdered and put into dumpsters, buildings being bombed, wars being waged, forests burning, coral reefs dying, etc. It adds nothing of value to my daily life.
Same. Can’t change something out of my control 1000 miles away, let alone 10.
I blocked out the news in 2016, anything really significant filters through to me anyway so I’m not missing anything I really need.
Right? Corona was pretty hard to miss for example, but there’s been so many significant, really atrocious things that have happened since 2016 and a bunch of them get forgotten so quickly after.
AP and Reuters.
NPR and PBS are always where I start, but the BBC is also good. I also have an electronic subscription to the Washington Post.
For an independent US news source, Breaking Points is a good option. They get a lot of criticism from both the right and the left, which lends credence to their claim of being balanced. If you don’t like one of their host’s take on an issue, just wait for the other one to start talking. A good way to hear opposing viewpoints all in one place.
I’m sorry, I misread your post. I’m trying to delete my response but I’m on mobile and it’s not going through
Please don’t delete
AP and Reuters. Currently experimenting with ground.news 'cos most of the US-centered stuff is tainted by polarization
NPR and many decent sources also sources a lot of their news from AP and Reuters. Perhaps some sites have the money for nice interacting graphs or information but I’ll only partake after verifying that information between sites like AP and Reuters.
I think most people would be surprised how much of their news comes from just a few wire services.
What’s ground.news?
A website, go have a look. It afraid happiness of many sources and presents them with their bias and factuality ratings (but I think that’s generally speaking, not per-article)
Make sure to support your local news sources too. Lots of great suggestions here for staying up to date with national and world news, but your local newspapers serve a valuable role in keeping up to date on what local governments are doing in your communities, and holding them accountable.
Ironic cause, even if it’s a good news source, most people here would be unwilling to pay or disable their AdBlock to support it anyway
The Guardian has excellent coverage and stories for the world and for US. I read stories about stuff going on here in America that I don’t see in other sources! Plus it’s not paywalled, although you should contribute or subscribe.
I like Al Jazeera. They have quite the interesting history as well
ground news and tldr news
CBC and BBC are prob my two most read sources
Who am I kidding? If it doesn’t show up in my lemmy feed I don’t even know it happened.
Lemmy, YouTube (Phillip DeFranco), and word of mouth IRL
I like Reuters and Bloomberg for simple summaries without opinion.
I get France 24 in English via antenna and feel like the coverage is less sensationalized than US based sources. Maybe they have hot takes on French politics but I feel like I can keep up generally with world politics and avoid too much US saturation (though they still cover the US disproportionately).
