I have used RSS before and didn’t like it felt like I was wasting my time scrolling through I kid you not thousands of news topics just to read through only a couple of them that I found interesting now I use Twitter, YT, and a little bit Lemmy as a news source I don’t care that much about being up-to-date with the latest news I read whenever I feel like it

in word: RSS

explanation: I looked into some RSS apps time ago and some apps (found a lot open source in F-droid) just need to search what your interest or keywords and it will find you source of news

I use feedly pretty much every day. The Times for reasonable news. Bloomberg because it’s the closest thing to right-wing news that isn’t batshit crazy. Lots of international sources for other perspectives… BBC, Al Jazeera, Japan Times, etc… Then lots of tech industry news just because that’s my field.

The subscriptions are going to seem high when you first look but this is the reality of the current news landscape… If you want legitimate news it’s going to cost money. If you want legitimate news that isn’t completely dependent on advertising, it’s going to cost more money.

Check out the Ground News app. I’ve been giving it a try on recommendation from a friend, otherwise I just use the same rss feeds I’ve always used.

If you’re new to news, start with AP, Reuters, and Ars Technica, then add local stuff if you have it (BBC, CBC, Indigenous outlets as applicable, etc) and carry on with sources you like.

When you say you’re getting your news from social media, you’re really getting your news via social media. It’s still published somewhere, ideally after having been written by a human journalist. What are the sites whose links you like to follow from reddit or mastodon? Subscribe to those.

And you’ve got yourself a news app!

I’ve been using Feedly for many years. Just add the rss of different websites you are interested in, and read the news without seeing comments by other people.

Kungolicious ,

I’m a fan of associated press personally. They seem to do a decent job at sticking to the facts and not telling you what to think.

GONADS125 ,

I typically have to stick with actual articles because I just can’t stand hearing anchors randomly speculate and interject their opinions. I want facts reported, not to hear your free flow of thoughts I don’t care about…

Watching some of The Hill Rising coverage of UAP stuff just about gave me an aneurysm… Just idiots baselessly blabbering on…

Literally just got into rss this week and realized what I had been missing- news, podcasts, DJ mixes all delivered straight to you with no bs

klay ,

where do you find good sources to follow, then?

GONADS125 ,

Man I feel like I’m spamming this in this thread… but this is a really helpful website for finding reliable, unbiased sources.

How did you start?? I’ve wanted to try it out for a while now but have no idea where to begin

I started because I was tired of using Spotify for podcasts. I just searched for the most simplest podcast app I could find for Linux and chose gPodder, then I just subscribed to the podcasts I listen to via rss url. There’s some sites that will give you the rss url for podcasts based on name search

RotatingParts ,

Here is a site that rates news sites that may help you pick what sites to follow via RSS. I am sure there are other pages like this if this one doesn’t seem accurate to you. mediabiasfactcheck.com

GONADS125 ,

Awesome, I’m not the only one sharing this! Such a useful site.

cerevant ,

Do you want information or rage bait?

For information, go to AP and Reuters. Maybe the BBC. That’s what’s left. Everything else is “entertainment “.

Blastasaurus ,

CBC NEWS is pretty unbiased IMO.

cerevant ,

I almost listed CBC, but most USians would consider CBC to have a liberal bias. Then again, many USians think math has a liberal bias.

DONTBANTHISACCOUNT ,

What's USians?

cerevant ,

People of the United States. Some take exception to calling them Americans when the entire continent is named “North America”

Kangie ,

ABC news Australia abc.net.au

GONADS125 ,

BBC and AP are great sources. Newsnation is a newer organization, but they have really good unbiased reporting compared to most stations nowadays.

Here’s some handy charts regarding reporting bias and factual reporting reliability. It’s a very handy site.

cerevant ,

I used to use the chart from AdFontes - I preferred its granularity, but they have gone to a login wall. I don’t need more accounts and tracking.

Your information must be my rage bait.

For most stories it'll show you a few different sources for it.

The trick here is to use incognito mode while logged out to avoid being put in a filter bubble.

I always have subscription for physical newspaper.

Okokimup ,

I highly recommend readtangle.com. I subscribe to the daily newsletter, and whether you lean left or right, it gets you out of your news bubble.

AbouBenAdhem ,

RSS feeds… but if I had to pick one site to make sure i’m not missing anything of global importance, Wikipedia’s Current Events portal serves.
