Where do you get your news from?

https://www.npr.org/ and https://www.mprnews.org/ are my go to sources

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events is the most neutral source of news I know. I read it every day.
- thanks for introducing me to that list. at worst this makes for an excellent overview.

A centrist mainstream national newspaper to be aware of what the political mainstream is concerned about.
Al Jazeera for international news.
Articles sent to me by friends and comrades for news on more specific matters that may not make more mainstream news.
And groupchats and internal publications of organisations I'm in for both more politically-relevant news (eg news of local strikes that often aren't otherwise reported on) and commentary.

About ten separate sources. A little bit of right, a little bit of left, some national, some international. I find this really exposes the bias some sources put on stories, and after a while you can tell which source it is just by words used in the headline and even by what news they don't report.
Some good suggestions in this thread, I'll be adding some new feeds.

I stopped using Google News because all it did was depress me. Lemmy and podcasts now.

Democracy Now!
DW (Germany)
France 24
PBS / NPR
Global News (Canada)
propublica
AP
Al Jazeera
BBC World News
various youtubers for niche or more world / non western news and geopolitics and trade etc
lemmy

Lemmy, Reddit, Instagram, local communities on Signal and Discord
- just lemmy and reddit for me and then cross reference

my less-susceptible-to-depression spouse

I mostly don't follow the news; I value my mental health too much for that these days...

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...

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.

I usually check things in this order:
National newspaper
Local newspaper
Reuters
Lemmy

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
  
  This sounded good and it says it reports global news, but every story on the front page is US centric?
  
  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

News in my mother tongue, not beneficial to English speaker people
- Do you ever compare it to news outside of your region?

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

Cnn just because it's the easiest to type one handed.

Lemmy primarily, Podcasts, The Daily Show, Google News, Bluesky a little
Don't you dare downvote me for the Google News. I KNOW.

NPR, BBC, and RTÉ primarily. Subscribed through RSS
- Gosh, do they still do RSS feeds? I so miss that era of the internet.
  
  You know it. I’ve found that most of the news sites still do RSS feeds for their stuff
- The classics.
  
  Some other good ones are Semafor and 404Media

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!

The Tyee, The Daily Show, late night w/ Seth Meyers, The Guardian, and Legal Eagle.
- LE is a good one.

National and local newspapers, national and local news stations.

Mostly from Josh Johnson
- Never heard of him, I'll check it out

Mostly the local Radio station. But bigger things through Mastodon.
- Nice, love local radio

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

Belle of the fifth column even though I'm taking a break after the election
- Never heard of it, I'll give it a looksee
  
  Cool also you may find it under Belle of the ranch as well they are going through a name change after his wife's took over the channel. Also don't judge a book by it's cover the content is good. The framing of being a a country girl and boy is to appeal to the people that need to hear it the most.

The Globe and Mail, CBC, and the Guardian.

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.

Lemmy and Imgur

Zeit, Süddeutsche Zeitung, taz, dpa, Reuters, ap, BBC, Deutsche Welle, Deutschlandfunk. Some others, if they come up. Mostly via RSS.

CNN, nbc, cbs, some from the guardian, there’s a guy called habitual line crosser ( HLC ) on YouTube. He puts humor to what he says but he has a lot of good info.
