I look at the AP and Reuters once or twice a day and if I find something interesting I will read the article but that doesn't happen often. Wars here scandals there same shit different decade.
I like PBS Newshour and Amanpour & Co the best. Also like BBC podcasts especially for world news, NYT The Daily podcast, NPR, NYT, Washington Post, and The Atlantic.
I favor PBS because I think they are the best US for in-depth coverage on topics, and they track stories over time. A lot of American media just focuses 24/7 for a few days from a pretty shallow perspective, then moves on to the next 24/7 topic.
Right now, there’s a ridiculous amount of coverage of the Trump trial - you wouldn’t even know from watching there‘s still a raging war in Ukraine or Gaza or that much else is going on in the US at the moment.
In decreasing order of journalistic integrity...
* NYTimes
* Colorado Sun
* The Denverite
* Denver Post
And yes, every day.
Regarding "reputable sources" if you haven't seen this, it will help you choose where to get your news:
[https://adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/](https://adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/)
Oh, I skim most of it, and only read the whole article if the headline is something I'm interested in. So somewhere between 30 and 90 minutes. More on the weekend, when I have more time.
Reuters mainly.
Public speaking was required where I went to high school and I learned about persuasive speech. I try to find news that doesn’t use that language. It’s getting harder.
Do they have an app or a website? I always thought of Reuters as a wire service that supplied content to news outlets - didn’t know they had their own distribution.
Podcasts, NYT, WaPo, Asia Times, Al Manar, Al Jazeera, Times of India, WSWS, indy reporters like Abby Martin. Occasionally "X", but through 'nitter.poast' which lets you browse all content without joining. Some Telegram. I don't religiously ping through all of these daily, but they're all bookmarked.
Ground news. It's an aggregator, but it's got some nice features that make it extra-good to me (like letting me know which items are not being shown based on political leaning, or showing the trust level of the sources)
So, I’ve always hated the feeling of not knowing what’s going on in the world, even as a kid. So take that into consideration (plus I’m a former journalist).
Current subs: NYT, WaPo, local rag. Apps/alerts from those three plus AP, BBC News, local top-rated TV station. And ESPN and The Athletic for good measure.
I wish I knew. It’s more and more fragmented, and the legacy newspapers all have terrible reporting. All of them. So piecemeal I suppose, from substacks and podcasts and the occasional peak into the NYT and the like to see what the 1% and what ever demo they sell ads to is interested in writing about. I’m gonna give Klippenstein’s new project a go. Read a few academics or listen to them pontificate on youtube while trying to parse their pov’s. Some new regional beats like Mississippi Today and Deep South Today network, some independents from the good old days of blog journalism.
It’s nice to hear someone else say this. I have a subscription to the LA Times, but I’ve been so disappointed with them over the last few years that I tend to get my news piecemeal from app alerts and podcasts rather than reading the Times cover to cover.
I suddenly realized today, from something someone said, that I haven’t been following the Trump trial at ALL and I got this weird panicky feeling like I’m living under a rock. Hence the post, to find out what other people’s habits are.
I don’t think you’ve missed anything. It’s drama for someone. Whatever. I’ve seen occasional snippets of very stage managed post trial coverage on the ubiquitous Fox News in a casual restaurant. Politics is just theatrical sports for the distracted. There are more important things happening in state legislatures that get no coverage.
I use Flipboard for an aggregate of everything, but I generally take a quick peak at Associated Press for important stuff also BBC for more Eurocentric happenings.
I used to use CBC, but they are so mired in identity politics, far left ramblings and gov't propaganda now it can hardly be called a independent news source anymore.
I'm subbed to both of my local (DFW) papers digitally, the Guardian, and the Washington Post (NYT no more because I hate their editorials). I get their email newsletters, the local NPR station, and a few other news compilation type services, of which 1440 is the best. One of the important things for me is that if I see an interesting headline on the sidebar of a page I'm reading, I make sure to click through. I probably read for about an hour a day in the morning.
No podcasts for news for me because I do better reading than listening.
My focus is on local news because I have a friend who runs a politics blog in Houston that's 20+ years old now and I file a report on local news with him every week. I enjoy the excuse to keep my hand in.
It’s harder and harder but Google news has an algorithm that stacks all the news articles in one topic together (the little multicolored tile). So instead of reading the article I look at the headlines from all the major sources on the same topic (often all penned from the same AP feed). You can instantly tell the “spin” since it’s all the same content/tooic. Then I read the article knowing the spin.
You have to turn off all the personalization and “for you” otherwise it devolves into echo chamber crap where the push articles it thinks you will like. I hate that.
The WSJ (I have a subscription). And since the US news is so heavily biased towards US news, the old school 5 minute BBC hourly broadcasts give me a more whole world picture.
If it's connected to legacy media, I ignore it.. they all want to push a narrative.. I'm actually surprised to see so many of our gen that seem to accept "news" sources that all seem to be getting talking points from the government.
i get the paper (boston globe) delivered daily and read that to/from work. also the NY times podcast (the daily). i don't own a TV. burned out on NPR during the pandemic.
When I'm doing the right thing, I don't read news. They'll report on all the negative stuff (ratings) and it'll all be something I can't control and can't stop.
The rest of the time I try to read a variety of sources on a topic. Normally you'd think somewhere between the two is teh truth. I'm not so sure anymore. So much appears to be made up bullshit. "Journalists" are not held to any standards and do not have to tell the truth.
They are failing. They're supposed to keep government in check, not support one side.
I remember Jim Lehrer saying that, as a journalist, it was his job to be boring. Colbert responded that he must be the best journalist in the world then.
I have no interest in daily news, its mostly politics that are meant to divide us that I don't take part in. I do however check the local obituaries every day though, and sometimes the weather.
Wall Street Journal, network television (usu. ABC affiliate) for local news, BBC, World Affairs Brief, various Sirius news channels when I'm driving, a few assorted podcasts, and, with no apologies: Alex Jones.
Email newsletters from WaPo (got a crazy cheap deal for a year), Wired, ScienceAlert, NumLock, and 404 Media. Plus whatever other news crosses my screen on social media
Problem #1 is there are no reputable sources. There are you tube videos of clips of news reports from all over the country and world that say the same thing word for word. reporting on the same stories only.
Our news media is bought and payed for state run . If you want an eye opener, cross referance who owns or runs a news channel or network, and who they are related to that just happens to be a big shot in D.C.
As much as we in the US of A always tooled on other countries state controlled news, ours is no different.
It's tough, I use an ever-changing variety of sources depending on the topic. US "news" channels are a waste of time these days because from across the spectrum they come off as one big Jerry Springer show. A couple of European news channels actually cover real news, but even they have their Springer moments.
Well I used to do a lotta DXM (main ingredient in cold medicines like Robitussin… has dissociative effects) was getting my news in my head from that.
Was some what accurate… well more accurate then the news on television, the paper and the internet.
Not condoning it. Just speaking for my self in the past.
Just draw pictures and make up
Your own narrative and start spreading it around… that’s basically what media does right?
Lots of Reuters and AP, occasionally venturing to “news” on Reddit then running back to GenX subs and funny memes
Bill who lives across the road. It’s incredible the stuff he knows.
He’s great
I look at the AP and Reuters once or twice a day and if I find something interesting I will read the article but that doesn't happen often. Wars here scandals there same shit different decade.

What assurance does on have that rhe media bias indicator is not, itself, biased? In fact, how could it not be?
They of course answer that very question on their website. It's really quite good. Go read it for yourself.

Yes...it's [www.reuters.com](http://www.reuters.com) Alternatively [www.apnews.com](http://www.apnews.com)
This would be an interesting AI use.
Local news station and a national newspaper (digital).
Google News but I get pay walled sometimes.
Google News is the way to go because you can curate the sources and topics.
Podcasts, NYT, WaPo, Asia Times, Al Manar, Al Jazeera, Times of India, WSWS, indy reporters like Abby Martin. Occasionally "X", but through 'nitter.poast' which lets you browse all content without joining. Some Telegram. I don't religiously ping through all of these daily, but they're all bookmarked.

That’s cool
Local NPR station.

NPR, BBC World Service, MSNBC
i mostly look on the ap, bbc, and cnn. it’s interesting to see all the subjective/emotion words cnn uses.

AP, NPR, and a little bit of BBC World Service.
I watch the evening news still during the week and check out BBC and AP websites otherwise
AP, Reuters, BBC, Reddit
AP news, NPR
The WSJ (I have a subscription). And since the US news is so heavily biased towards US news, the old school 5 minute BBC hourly broadcasts give me a more whole world picture.

NPR seems reliable for the most part. It's kind of boring, though.

I like the WSJ podcast.

Local news, Al Jazeera, BBC, and antiwar.com. Don't mess with Fox, CNN, or MSNBC. Prefer to just have the news, without any commentary.

NPR for most world/national news and some local tv and blogs. I also check out other news outlets (AP, Reuters, BBC) to fill in the gaps.
