Ask HN: What other sites do you use to get reliable news?
A quick question for the HN community: how do you get your news?
I usually start the morning with an honest-to-god physical newspaper (gasp) and use the BBC news service during the day, but I've heard a lot about apps like Circa and Economist Espresso and I wanted to know what other people think about getting news in that sort of bite-sized fashion as opposed to reading long-form articles?
To clarify: I'm thinking specifically about non-tech news, like current events, economic/political coverage, editorials, etc. (I think tech news gets pretty well aggregated here). I love the http://nextdraft.com/ daily email. Short paragraph summaries of the day's news, funny, and with links if you want to read more. Often: Reddit (various news subreddits /r/news /r/worldnews + some local) Sometimes: New York Times (financials, economy) News not related to Middle East : Al Jazeera News not related to Eastern Europe : RT [notice the pattern...] Very rarely: Local news on TV in the evening The closest newspaper replacement is https://about.flipboard.com/ for me.

It is damn near impossible to get even very good, well-researched articles posted to the front page. However the diaries are often very good. From time to time a new member shows up, attempts to publish an article, and gets run out of town on a rail by the moderators. I myself spend far more time at K5 than I do at HN. > I myself spend far more time at K5 than I do at HN. The first article on the site appears to be a personal attack on you. Is this a community in-joke?
