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.
Do you know of anyway to add this to an RSS feed?
This sounds cool, lemme check it out
First glance and already impressed with the details + mobile friendly view. Thanks for the pointer!
Fascinating! Thanks for the link. This is the sort of thing I was hoping for.
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.
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.

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.
I don’t read any news because they are all negative.
reddit, lets be honest. we wouldnt be here if that wasnt our main source
I like watching Phillip DeFranco in
YouTubeInvidious. When covering major stories he is very good at delivering crutial information simply and quickly, and while he does have opinions, they are always very transparent, so you can spot the bias from the facts. Also, he has a habit of correcting the rare mistakes this beautiful bastard makes.Ah I remember watching him years ago, good to know he’s still around. Although it looks like he does more internet drama videos rather than real-world news
It’s 50/50, he normally covers drama news first, and saves the big stories for the back end, he always includes timestamps, so if that’s not your thing you can skip around.
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.
The guardian
I used to like them but they are a bit too biased for me nowadays
Ground news
Somehow I always gravitate to the Atlantic … so much that I actually felt bad after years of refreshing my browser for free articles, and now I actually pay real American dollars for a subscription.
Also, a few ultra local and free newspapers that with an online presence, especially when I’m in the mood to escape depressing national / international news.
