Where do you get news from online that you trust?

Here's a chart that I've found really helpful. Predictably, it's drawn some criticism, but in my experience, it's been very accurate.

NPR

PBS

AP

Reuters

BBC

The Guardian

The Economist. Despite the insufferable name, it's really quite good. It's one of the only traditional publications that I actively pay for and read weekly.

DW news (dw.com) is pretty good and not too sensational. They’re like German PBS with a whole English side of the site.

I don't really read news in English anymore, but when I did, I subscribed to the economist. I found most other news sites were too biased and ignored most of the world.

https://ground.news/ is a pretty good resource. It’s a news aggregate that also reveals the source’s/writer’s political biases as a percentage of left or right. Also it’s factuality versus editorialization, and who owns the outlet.

Definitely one of the better ones out there.

I get a weekly email from Ground.News and it’s been pretty interesting to see the distribution of sources covering various stories. I’ve never personally mused on the leanings of various sources but it passes the eye test I think, and it helps give a good aggregation of perspectives on a story.

BBC News. They do a fairly good job of being impartial since both main party voters here in the UK hate it and accuse it of being biased to the opposition!

I'm fortunate to live in an area with good local independent news sources like Berkeleyside.

National & international are a big mess. Better to look at lots of different sources. If the Wall Street Journal, Al-Jazeera, and The Grauniad all talk about an event, it probably happened.

What country do you live in?

CBC News

NYT. But of course, as with any source, remain critical and check for retractions/corrections.

Ground.news They label bias both left, right, ans center. Blindspots, which are things that are only bring shown to one side of the political spectrum. Not sure how effective they are outside the US, tho.

I don't.

I don't need fear porn in my life.

If something's important enough, I end up hearing it through people on discord. I don't actively look for news.
