Just wondering your preferences
Mostly the wire services (Reuters, AP).
Wall Street Journal and NPR. Try to get the story from each side as well as I can.
Man… used to be twitter and I don’t have a replacement yet. You could just follow all the journalists you wanted over there it was great. But now I’m migrating away from the app.
I used Twitter too to check for the most up to date local news, but on the website the posts are not sorted chronologically anymore, so it is absolutely useless now
AllSides
AP, BBC and NPR
NPR is my go-to for soft spoken documentary pieces about uncomfortable topics.

Sure but what are the places you want?
I use Feeder too.
Feeder for Android and
QuiteRSS on my laptop/ Desktop (yes it’s old and kinda ugly, but it has all the features I like is very solid).

The Economist
Not for breaking news perhaps, but for in-depth analysis and critical commentary the Economist is in a class of it’s own. It’s the only news magazine I subscribe to. They don’t dumb down stories, they treat their readers as adults and they scrupulously avoid sensationalism. The standard of written English is exceptional, (something for which it is renowned). And I love the humor in some of the regular columns. The whole magazine is a joy to read from Letters to Obituaries. 10/10
It is also important because, while there is bias against Russia, the newspaper generally does a good job reporting on taking a step back from the issue to provide something more nuanced than typical news sources.
It also will write articles defending welfare spending if it finds a reason to do so, which it often finds.
BBC
One day I just decided news didn’t exist and stopped reading any of it. Last I checked it was 1992 and they invented moon pies. What a time to be alive.
NYTimes
DW News, AP, Reuters, BBC (which I sometimes feel doesn’t belong in this list).
NPR
PBS
BBC
Reuters
AP
(My state owned broadcaster RTÉ)
Other news sources are fine, but I prefer to double check these if I am uncertain.
Also Democracy Now! Is pretty good too.
off topic: do you watch the virgin media channels since you’re irish
I would occasionally watch them if I’m flicking through channels etc, but they wouldn’t be my go to source.
Which app do you use to follow that many source?
I use RSS readers. Specifically Feeder on Android and QuiteRSS on laptop/desktop
Google News is my usual browse, then AP, Reuters, or axios. Radio npr. Tv msnbc but i get tired of the pundits.
Ground News. I see all of the same breaking news as anyone else who is tuned into a specific channel, but I can easily compare how the story is being spun.
It’s also nice because I can link the story to anyone, no matter their affiliation, without implicitly endorsing one outlet’s take on what to think about it.
tl;dr news and ground news sometimes i find instresting topics on google discover also i mostly find about data breaches by mental outlaw + lemmy may have instresting news
