Curious to get the pulse from lemmy on where y’all look to for your various sources of news.
https://www.npr.org/ and https://www.mprnews.org/ are my go to sources
A centrist mainstream national newspaper to be aware of what the political mainstream is concerned about.
Al Jazeera for international news.
Articles sent to me by friends and comrades for news on more specific matters that may not make more mainstream news.
And groupchats and internal publications of organisations I’m in for both more politically-relevant news (eg news of local strikes that often aren’t otherwise reported on) and commentary.
I stopped using Google News because all it did was depress me. Lemmy and podcasts now.
About ten separate sources. A little bit of right, a little bit of left, some national, some international. I find this really exposes the bias some sources put on stories, and after a while you can tell which source it is just by words used in the headline and even by what news they don’t report.
Some good suggestions in this thread, I’ll be adding some new feeds.
Lemmy primarily, Podcasts, The Daily Show, Google News, Bluesky a little
Don’t you dare downvote me for the Google News. I KNOW.
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.
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…
Lemmy, Reddit, Instagram, local communities on Signal and Discord

my less-susceptible-to-depression spouse
National and local newspapers, national and local news stations.
Cnn just because it’s the easiest to type one handed.
I usually check things in this order:
National newspaper
Local newspaper
Reuters
LemmyI mostly don’t follow the news; I value my mental health too much for that these days…
News in my mother tongue, not beneficial to English speaker people
Do you ever compare it to news outside of your region?
