I’m usually trusting Reuters or AP news
Though I’ve heard of ground.news and have been thinking about subscribing, DAE have experience with them? Are they as unbiased as they claim?
Reuters usually has half decent articles, but they’re owned by billionaires out of Canada. This look into them was done late last year: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/12174374
AP has some sketch board members as shown here: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/12174861
It helps that their business model doesn’t rely primarily on ads or user tracking, and instead relies on subscriptions from other news businesses. This obviously isn’t perfect as they do serve some ads, and it requires those other businesses to exist and be profitable, but it’s a helpful layer of insulation.
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.
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.
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.
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/
Democracy now is doing excellent coverage of palestine. Also the majority report.
I used to be a Google News junkie, but I stopped using their products. Now, I have a more streamlined view via these two: https://www.newsminimalist.com/ https://www.boringreport.org/app
I don’t follow news. If it’s big enough, it will reach me some or the other way.
I’'m a big fan of Some More News on YouTube.
Just the memes, and then I hear someone mention some atrocity and I understand the half of them :p
These days I try to avoid the news.

Roca News @ridethenews is my go to but I’ve tuned most things out at this point to try and stay sane.
Lemmy and Imgur. Before that it was reddit. And before that, digg.
