Curious to get the pulse from lemmy on where y’all look to for your various sources of news.
Believe it or not, I think the Christian Science Monitor puts out good articles. I’m not religious. I’m also not in the current US conservative camp. It’s too bad it’s paywalled. But the few articles I’ve read actually seemed nicely nuanced, pretty balanced, and interesting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events is the most neutral source of news I know. I read it every day.
thanks for introducing me to that list. at worst this makes for an excellent overview.
- Democracy Now!
- DW (Germany)
- France 24
- PBS / NPR
- Global News (Canada)
- propublica
- AP
- Al Jazeera
- BBC World News
- various youtubers for niche or more world / non western news and geopolitics and trade etc
- lemmy
https://www.npr.org/ and https://www.mprnews.org/ are my go to sources
Lemmy, Reddit, Instagram, local communities on Signal and Discord
just lemmy and reddit for me and then cross reference
A centrist mainstream national newspaper to be aware of what the political mainstream is concerned about.
Al Jazeera for international news.
Articles sent to me by friends and comrades for news on more specific matters that may not make more mainstream news.
And groupchats and internal publications of organisations I’m in for both more politically-relevant news (eg news of local strikes that often aren’t otherwise reported on) and commentary.
About ten separate sources. A little bit of right, a little bit of left, some national, some international. I find this really exposes the bias some sources put on stories, and after a while you can tell which source it is just by words used in the headline and even by what news they don’t report.
Some good suggestions in this thread, I’ll be adding some new feeds.

The Guardian, Democracy Now, and /r/politics
democracy now! is legit a core news reporting source for many unreported and underreported stories. thumbs up for DN!
edit: add link
This sounded good and it says it reports global news, but every story on the front page is US centric?
It’s definitely intended for US audiences. They do long-running features on topics like the war in Gaza, and they touch on important global events like contested elections, but its perspective is rooted in progressive US politics.
Ya, my personal fav, I try to at least watch the headlines, but usually dig into some of the featured interviews for the day. Amy Goodman is a legend
The Guardian, The Tyee, BBC, CBC, Reuters and AP, with a dash of utterly unreliable press from abroad.
Nice, all that covers a lot of bases right there
I listen to pods at work: NPR and DemocracyNow for my daily news, then weekly news/commentary from Labor Stoppage, Citations Needed, Some More News/Even More News, The East is a Podcast, The Deprogram, and ChapoTrapHouse.
Thank you for sharing, I’ll look into these!
I mostly don’t follow the news; I value my mental health too much for that these days…
For any German, correctiv should be a must go to…although it’s not necessarily daily news but rather weekly and investigative journalism. Politico.eu for europeans, deutschlandfunk, Tagesschau, lemmy, reddit
But as some people have hinted as well… Visiting news sites nowadays can only make you depressed really…
News in my mother tongue, not beneficial to English speaker people
Do you ever compare it to news outside of your region?
The Tyee, The Daily Show, late night w/ Seth Meyers, The Guardian, and Legal Eagle.
LE is a good one.
