    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.

    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.

        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

    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…
