Curious to get the pulse from lemmy on where y’all look to for your various sources of news.

    For any German, correctiv should be a must go to…although it’s not necessarily daily news but rather weekly and investigative journalism. Politico.eu for europeans, deutschlandfunk, Tagesschau, lemmy, reddit

    But as some people have hinted as well… Visiting news sites nowadays can only make you depressed really…

    I usually read from every source, but i have my favorites like UOL notícias, G1, Carta Capital and Metropóles (brazillian here). But to deal with international content I started to use a tool that changed my life some years ago… it´s called newsblur . I can have everything i want from that since it works on web3 sites and RSS. And when I mean everything im not only talking about news. I can catch up with my my wiki project contributions and changes, the updates from my linux distro and even news from every website in 3 different languages. Just make an account and paste link, classify as you wish, mute what you don’t want to be bothered with and never get yourself chasing what to read in news matter.

    My feed reader; there’s a couple bloggers and a singular journalist that I follow. I have a digital subscription to a national newspaper as well.

    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?

      lemmy.ml federates with almost all instances most of which aren’t leftist, the admins are leftist as is a lot of the local userbase, but the moderation varies between communities and this one tends to be one of the more permissive ones. If you want one that’s more exclusively leftist you’re probably looking for Hexbear or Lemmygrad.

      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.

        In a more general sense, I always felt that only reading sources that alligned with one’s political alignment narrowed one’s perspective.

        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.

        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
