in and out of fediverse.
Publically owned or controlled (or at least majority owned and controlled) news services in major countries
CBC - in Canada (where I’m from)
PBS - in the US
NPR - in the US
ABC - Australia
BBC - in the UK
France 24 - in France
NHK - in Japan
DW - in GermanyAlthough there are criticisms for each, at the very least, they give a good guidance to relevant straight forward news without too much spin.
What about NPR in the US as well
Thanks for the reminder … added!
My local government news. Call me a sheep but since they don’t farm clicks they seem to have the most nuanced and engaging stories. For-profit news these days are just doom-posting and rage bait.
@bigboismith You’re probably referring to some sort of public broadcaster, right? That’s actually quite a good source if the management is not politically controlled/infiltrated in any way by any political party
I try to stick to AP/Reuters. They tend to be more direct and less wordy. BBC, NPR, sometimes Guardian, NYT, and other news sources follow in approximately that order.
BBC Radio 4’s hourly news bulletin just before the Archers. That and BBC News headline notifications.
Personally I love PBS/NPR (both National and my local station; support your local station!), The Verge, TWiT/This Week in Tech, Daily Tech News Show, Democracy Now!, C4 News, and Web3 is Going Great.
I do my local national public radio every day. Great local coverage and balanced fact driven national coverage. I have donated to them for a decade now. No regrets
The BBC, AP, and Reuters are a good place to start.
I like Erin in the Morning, Propublica, and Bellingcat as well, but they require additional work to parse sometimes.
I got a local loud mouth who listens to Infowars
I just assume the opposite of what he says is true. So far it’s working
Democracy now is doing excellent coverage of palestine. Also the majority report.
Associated Press is great for world news. They’re a bit slow but you get less mistakes.
For important news like Linux news, destination Linux, brodie Robinson and the Linux experiment are my goto.
less mistakes
oh the dross other outlets push aren’t mistakes …
What does dross mean?
waste, garbage, trash, The scum that forms on the surface of molten metal as a result of oxidation, worthless
You get fewer mistakes
I’m sorry, the irony was too much to ignore
I haven’t noticed the AP being that slow in comparison to other outlets IMHO
Not a news source, but commentary. I watch/listen to breaking points https://www.youtube.com/@breakingpoints
they cite drop site news frequently https://www.dropsitenews.com/
and I read Ken Klippenstein https://www.kenklippenstein.com/
I don’t follow news. If it’s big enough, it will reach me some or the other way.

Of Facebook
I have 306 RSS sources soooo you’re gonna have to be more specific :)
I’ve got a MASSIVE fricking OPML file I grab my news from and punch into various apps and sites like Feedly. I grab basically as many feeds as I can, except those that typically paywall their sites (like WaPo, NYT and WSJ)
