    AP, BBC, and NPR for general news. Been on the hunt for some English language news covering the rest of the world and provide an outside look at US news.

    Facebook feed of 60+ raptor rescues and wildlife photography groups and Google News search for owl news to post to [email protected]

    Lemmy Top 6 Hours for any breaking news and news about stuff I wouldn’t normally look for.

    If anything really catches my eye, I’ll generally Google it to get at least one other article from a different source to get more info or a second take on the story.

    The Intercept - For their insightful investigative pieces, which are becoming so rare these days.

    Ground News - to see what different news sources from across the left/right spectrum are reporting and how they’re reporting it.

    I never read articles for my news. I almost exclusively watch TLDR news on YouTube. Very impartial and intentionally neutral. Just the facts and zero inflammatory language or strong emotions, which is what I hated most about other news outlets.

    They sometimes miss the nuance of certain situations but comments will usually provide sufficient insight on anything they miss.

    NPR News Now publishes great little 5 minute podcast digests every hour or 2 summarizing the big news items of the day / hour.

    Their politics podcast and Trump’s Trials podcast are also good.

    All three of these are very U.S. centric, obviously.

      Basically the same. Just that I use the apple news app. Most of it is the major news organizations. Ap, Reuters, things like that

    NPR, BBC, Al Jazeera, listen to a daily set of audio briefs from those sources. There is a significant bias in all of them, offset by tempering of social media sources.

    I spend a couple of hours each morning with coffee exploring a majority selection of these sites to get a quality overview.

    Mostly RSS for me, incidentally there is a publlic rss api on reddit. You can add .rss to any subreddit URL to get a feed. It’s a nice way to get news from there without actually having to use reddit.
