what are your news sources?

[fizz@lemmy.nz]

Associated Press is great for world news. They're a bit slow but you get less mistakes.

For important news like Linux news, destination Linux, brodie Robinson and the Linux experiment are my goto.

I'm usually trusting Reuters or AP news

Though I've heard of ground.news and have been thinking about subscribing, DAE have experience with them? Are they as unbiased as they claim?

BBC Radio 4's hourly news bulletin just before the Archers. That and BBC News headline notifications.

less mistakes

oh the dross other outlets push aren't mistakes ...

[pelespirit@sh.itjust.works]

Reuters usually has half decent articles, but they're owned by billionaires out of Canada. This look into them was done late last year: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/12174374

AP has some sketch board members as shown here: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/12174861

[ininewcrow@lemmy.ca]

Publically owned or controlled (or at least majority owned and controlled) news services in major countries

CBC - in Canada (where I'm from)
PBS - in the US
ABC - Australia
BBC - in the UK
France 24 - in France
NHK - in Japan

Although there are criticisms for each, at the very least, they give a good guidance to relevant straight forward news without too much spin.

I've got a MASSIVE fricking OPML file I grab my news from and punch into various apps and sites like Feedly. I grab basically as many feeds as I can, except those that typically paywall their sites (like WaPo, NYT and WSJ)

[realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club]

I like AP News a lil better than Reuters. Axios and NBC News ain't bad either if you're okay with using sites that skew a lil farther to the left.

[realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club]

What about NPR in the US as well

[realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club]

I haven't noticed the AP being that slow in comparison to other outlets IMHO

[ininewcrow@lemmy.ca]

Thanks for the reminder .... added!

[jubilantjaguar@lemmy.world]

Using this thing right here as an RSS reader! TIL.

[email protected] - Mongabay

An excellent source that I'm ashamed I only discovered recently. Consistently first-rate independent journalism on literally the most important subjects there are. Should be better known. Read. Donate.

Great other choices too.

[lookbehindyounowandthen@lemmy.world]

Yeah, corporate media is definitely "the left."

I used to be a Google News junkie, but I stopped using their products. Now, I have a more streamlined view via these two:

[libertylizard@slrpnk.net]

Wow you can use Lemmy as an RSS feed? Will these posts overpower local stuff though?

Hopefully me clicking on these won't mean the all view on my instance is now completely overtaken by this stuff...

[libertylizard@slrpnk.net]

While Reuters is obviously written from a neoliberal perspective, I think as long as you are aware of that, their coverage is fine. It's very fact based. It's designed to provide information for capitalists who are trying to make money from current events, so they have an incentive to do accurate coverage, but of course they will mainly cover things that are relevant to the finance world.
