What websites/apps/whatever do you use to get your news?
https://www.improvethenews.org/
This is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them.
This just replaced ground news for me, very nice.
I’m in Canada, where the tech giants just blocked all Canadian media outlets due to new media profit sharing legislation.
I get my news from:
- Nora Loreto’s daily news podcast
- Mastodon #cdnpoli #onpoli #topoli
- Direct from CBC, Toronto Star
- Lemmy
- What my friend group shares on Discord.
I haven’t been as invested in news lately, but this looks a little promising: https://dailycanada.ca/ It’s an rss feed from all media outlets in Canada.
You guys don’t let a bunch of strangers in the internet curate the news for you, then fight them in the comments?
TikTok mostly, a few SoMe Journalists I follow, like Under The Desk News and Lisa Ren Millard. But also Google News for more wide coverage.

Under the Desk news focuses on subjects that matter to me, and Lisa is dead center. So I am carful, but thank you. Also, like I said, I don’t just use those two sources for my news.
I see you’re getting downvoted even though you respectfully answered the question, looks like the Reddit tradition of downvoting anything you disagree with to bury it is alive and well here on Lemmy
Yeah, nothing ever changes. People are assholes for the most part.
I don’t get how people don’t understand that down voting for stuff like this is not good for the communities overall health.
OP asked a question, and you answered it. You weren’t shilling, so what’s the issue?
Yep, doesn’t really surprise me anymore. If I cared about votes I might care, but I’d have to value the down voters opinion for it to matter to me, and I really don’t.
AP, unless the article is about a protest
Aljazeera, unless the article is about Qatar
Reuters, unless the article is about non-G20 countries
BBC, unless the article is about the UK
CBC, unless the article is about Canada
The guardian
I used to like them but they are a bit too biased for me nowadays
I like watching Phillip DeFranco in
YouTubeInvidious. When covering major stories he is very good at delivering crutial information simply and quickly, and while he does have opinions, they are always very transparent, so you can spot the bias from the facts. Also, he has a habit of correcting the rare mistakes this beautiful bastard makes.Ah I remember watching him years ago, good to know he’s still around. Although it looks like he does more internet drama videos rather than real-world news
It’s 50/50, he normally covers drama news first, and saves the big stories for the back end, he always includes timestamps, so if that’s not your thing you can skip around.

Left, center, and right. Shows all sides.
It shows “all sides” from a distinctly far-right perspective.
Shameless plug, c/moderate_politics :)
