Where do you get your news from?
-
The classics.
-
The Guardian for international news because they are cool with not doing a paywall anywhere. They encourage to pay only.
Die Zeit for German news.
Wyborcza to stay more or less updated with my old country.
For real time opinions I never ever go to X. Mastodon starts to be a good replacement and for something really hot that’s also hot in Europe, my mastodon search engine (https://masto.kukei.eu) sometimes does the job, although it’s still immature and often searches nothing due to the nature of mastodon.
Damn, that's so cool, I'm going to try this out

Never heard of it, I'll give it a looksee

The Globe and Mail, CBC, and the Guardian.

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

On my end, I tend to watch democracy now, read cbc, npr, ap, and reuters, and then follow plenty of youtube channels for different takes on a variety of subjects. Always looking for new stuff though, so I appreciate all the replies!

OK, partly off topic: I'm new here and in the fediverse in general.
Trying to find out what is what and where I want to be part of.
So I figure I go to Ask Lemmy, where I see your question and found it interesting.
To my surprise, since I was under the impression lemmy.ml was a real leftist place I see mostly horrible MSM sources.
Was I wrong? -

Zeit, Süddeutsche Zeitung, taz, dpa, Reuters, ap, BBC, Deutsche Welle, Deutschlandfunk. Some others, if they come up. Mostly via RSS.

Was I wrong?While what you said isn't untrue, .ml does Bill itself as a general purpose instance. Also, not all the replies are from accounts on .ml.
In a more general sense, I always felt that only reading sources that alligned with one's political alignment narrowed one's perspective.

Thanks for the info.

Definitely, I'm certainly not looking for an echo chamber.
It is exactly the opposite since it's very rare to find something outside the common MSM and social media narrative.
Hence the dissapointment with all the news sources mentioned here.Also the left ones I know have less 'pulp', 'trivial' -or whatever you can call it- posts and more interesting subjects not covered elsewhere.
I am also constantly surprised and impressed with the knowledge the users have.
They know their stuff, put effort into replies, provide sources and useful info on sometimes very specific topics or events in history.
It's vastly more educational. -

Was I wrong?lemmy.ml federates with almost all instances most of which aren't leftist, the admins are leftist as is a lot of the local userbase, but the moderation varies between communities and this one tends one of the more permissive one. If you want one that's more exclusively leftist you're probably looking for Hexbear or Lemmygrad.

My feed reader; there's a couple bloggers and a singular journalist that I follow. I have a digital subscription to a national newspaper as well.

I usually read from every source, but i have my favorites like UOL notícias, G1, Carta Capital and Metropóles (brazillian here). But to deal with international content I started to use a tool that changed my life some years ago... it´s called newsblur . I can have everything i want from that since it works on web3 sites and RSS. And when I mean everything im not only talking about news. I can catch up with my my wiki project contributions and changes, the updates from my linux distro and even news from every website in 3 different languages. Just make an account and paste link, classify as you wish, mute what you don't want to be bothered with and never get yourself chasing what to read in news matter.
