Ask HN: Favorite News Sources?
What is your go to place to know what is happening in tech and main world events? Especially clean, high signal, non-bloated, non-sensationalist, thoughtful news?
Personally, I use these two sources, and avoid proactively checking mainstream news outlets:
- Hacked News Daily: https://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/
- My curated X / Twitter feed I prefer sources where the contributors disagree are allowed to disagree with each other. This means they cover a whole gambit of views. It's especially rare with political reporting, but I've found it's still common from https://thehill.com/news/ and https://reason.com/latest/, so those are my go-to sources when anything political has happened. I don't really know anymore. So much content is syndicated or taken from a handful of press agencies. While there are a number of "rage points" designed to excite people about one thing or another, they tend to carry a limited range of stories. It is very rarely nowadays that I find a story only in one source (except of the most local kind). Even worse a lot of news stories endorse official viewpoints on certain matters instead of challenging them. If you want to know British foreign policy, just watch the BBC. clever way to push your site. http://v2ex.com is one I like to check in this day and age. France24 Techmeme?
