Personally I don’t like reading news very much, I just keep various live news feeds up in the background while I do other things. Typically Al Jazeera English, but they rerun segments pretty often throughout the day, at which point I’ll just turn it off, or switch over to CGTN. Occasionally I’ll watch MSNBC or CNN if they aren’t being ultra cringe (rare occurrence) for more US focused coverage, though I can hardly stand to watch either for very long.

Try DW news. I’ve found it fantastic. Also just as good for written news.

A mix of local news paper and Ground News

Nemo ,

Block Club Chicago, a hyperlocal newspaper I helped find when it was a startup, for local news

The Chicago Reader for music and culture news

My wife and social media for political and tech news

Google News app mostly. Voyager for news with entertainment.

Basically the same. Just that I use the apple news app. Most of it is the major news organizations. Ap, Reuters, things like that

    A series of news weirdos on social media, a critical reading of major news outlets, issue-specific advocacy groups, individual journalists on YouTube etc, and criticism orgs line FAIR

    I dont consume news actively. I stopped watching tv and listening to radio because of ads and news. Both are not great for my mental health. Too stressful, too manipulative.

    When something pops up in the fedi, I read it. If it becomes too much, I mute it.

    Generally my policy is that if it’s news I need to hear, it will find its way to me one way or another. I need not go seeking it out. I will look up something I’ve heard if I want more info, but I don’t read news for its own sake.

    The great bulk of news that reaches me being second, third, fourth-hand and beyond means I’m not well-informed about anything. But at least I’m not wasting brain cells on whatever dumb shit <celebrity> did, or what shit <politician> said, or what breakthrough <scientist> made that does not remotely lead to the conclusion the article implies, or some journalist’s speculative opinion piece masquerading as news.

    If I could just get a dry listing of everything that happened the previous day, only including events of actual consequence like “law passed” or “person died” or “business discontinues product/service”, and leaving behind any event that can be effectively retold as “<person> scrawled message on public toilet stall” (like many celebrity and political articles) or anticipation pieces that try to predict future events, I’d be satisfied.

    Sounds pretty good. I personally enjoy computers and science stuff so that I do read but I get real pissed if the article is loaded with political opinions disguised as science, independent of it is aligned to my view or not.

    Nowhere in particular. News is comparative.

    • APOD - start my day with some perspective
    • techmeme - aggregates tech news
    • memeorandum - aggregates political news
    • HuffingtonPost - nice mix of serious & trashy pop culture junk
    • Politico - slightly right, but very serious analysis
    • Mother Jones - very left, but well-written
    • Then a few thousand RSS feeds, which I read in Feedbin.
    • Fediverse, Lemmy, etc.

    Couple of hours… each morning? Did you win the lottery or something?

    ImInLoveWithLife ,

    Not OP, but I am in a blue collar job and do the same. I get up at 4am and between brewing then drinking my coffee, eating a small breakfast, using the facilities, and doing general stuff getting ready to go to work, I then leave about 615am and clock in by 7am. I either read or listen to the news the whole time, or in this case, I also replied to your comment.

    Grist Magazine is pretty good, mostly focuses on environmental news

    The Intercept - For their insightful investigative pieces, which are becoming so rare these days.

    Ground News - to see what different news sources from across the left/right spectrum are reporting and how they’re reporting it.

    CMahaff ,

    NPR News Now publishes great little 5 minute podcast digests every hour or 2 summarizing the big news items of the day / hour.

    Their politics podcast and Trump’s Trials podcast are also good.

    All three of these are very U.S. centric, obviously.
