Curious to get the pulse from lemmy on where y’all look to for your various sources of news.
News in my mother tongue, not beneficial to English speaker people
I usually check things in this order:
National newspaper
Local newspaper
Reuters
LemmyZeit, Süddeutsche Zeitung, taz, dpa, Reuters, ap, BBC, Deutsche Welle, Deutschlandfunk. Some others, if they come up. Mostly via RSS.
Also, lots of podcasts
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?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.
The Globe and Mail, CBC, and the Guardian.
Mostly from Josh Johnson
Never heard of him, I’ll check it out
- Democracy Now!
- DW (Germany)
- France 24
- PBS / NPR
- Global News (Canada)
- propublica
- AP
- BBC World News
- various youtubers for niche or more world / non western news and geopolitics and trade etc
- lemmy
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!
Mostly the local Radio station. But bigger things through Mastodon.
Nice, love local radio
The Guardian, Democracy Now, and /r/politics
democracy now! is legit a core news reporting source for many unreported and underreported stories. thumbs up for DN!
edit: add link
Ya, my personal fav, I try to at least watch the headlines, but usually dig into some of the featured interviews for the day. Amy Goodman is a legend
NPR, BBC, and RTÉ primarily. Subscribed through RSS
The classics.
I listen to pods at work: NPR and DemocracyNow for my daily news, then weekly news/commentary from Labor Stoppage, Citations Needed, Some More News/Even More News, The East is a Podcast, The Deprogram, and ChapoTrapHouse.
Thank you for sharing, I’ll look into these!
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
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
The Tyee, The Daily Show, late night w/ Seth Meyers, The Guardian, and Legal Eagle.
LE is a good one.
