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

Seems legit
I listen to NPR Up First podcast. The give you a nice overview in 10 minutes. https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510318/up-first
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.
The streets. You can’t trust newspapers, tv, social media. But the streets, the streets you can always trust.
reddit, lets be honest. we wouldnt be here if that wasnt our main source
Ground news
Shameless plug, c/moderate_politics :)

Left, center, and right. Shows all sides.
It shows “all sides” from a distinctly far-right perspective.
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.
College basketball news: using Google to filter through all the stuff and Twitter
Weather: Twitter
Local news: I was getting it from Reddit but not anymore. now I see some stuff on Twitter but I don’t seek it out.
General news. Whatever pops up on Lemmy
The guardian
I used to like them but they are a bit too biased for me nowadays
I listen to a bit of the left and right leaning local talk radio stations. I try to read articles from varied sources. Krystal Ball can get under my skin, but I watch or listen to Breaking Points. If something moves me I try to follow up on the source material. Diversify. Decentralize. Whatever you want to call it. But get your news from several places.
