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.
Do you know of anyway to add this to an RSS feed?
Fascinating! Thanks for the link. This is the sort of thing I was hoping for.
First glance and already impressed with the details + mobile friendly view. Thanks for the pointer!
This sounds cool, lemme check it out
I’m sorry but it’s just not doing anything it say it does. When I click on world news out of the first 20 headlines 18 were about USA (which are like domestic stuff). One about Sudan and one about Korea. What kind of algorithm is that?
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?
Well, actually, that’s exactly what I do.
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.
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
I listen to NPR Up First podcast. The give you a nice overview in 10 minutes. https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510318/up-first
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 use RSS to aggregate articles from different news sites. my fe
uhhhh…
reddit, lets be honest. we wouldnt be here if that wasnt our main source
r/memes is a pretty solid source and keeps me up to date with the most recent news
Seems legit
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.
The guardian
I used to like them but they are a bit too biased for me nowadays

Left, center, and right. Shows all sides.
It shows “all sides” from a distinctly far-right perspective.
The fact that Paul Krugman is considered “the Left” says so much about why the US is the way that it is
I don’t. I try to life in blissful arrogance despite knowning that the world around me is going to heck. I only care about local news that considers my city.
I don’t read any news because they are all negative.
Shameless plug, c/moderate_politics :)
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.
I use RSS to aggregate articles from different news sites. my feed’s a bit nascent at the moment, though.
