What do you get your news from?

[Southern Discomfort]

Not limited to anything, it can be politics to tech news to celebrity news.

Personally I get my politics from BBC News 24 as I feel it offers the most objective, unbiased news you can get. I get technology news from Engadget, Kitguru, and Destructoid and Rock, Paper, Shotgun from gaming news. I used to watch BBC Click but not so much these days, I just sort of forgot about it for some reason. I also occasionally look at the news reel on Yahoo.co.uk, but that's too biased and a bit daily raggy for me so I try not to click on anything which checking my email. There's also YouTube, so that's Linus Tech Tips for a weekly round up, NCIX for daily round ups. Then there's things like The Jimquisition and TotalBiscuit's Content Patch. I also watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver for satire, he's great.

There's a few more tech sites I'd like to expand my horizons to like Polygon and Ars Technica but I haven't got around to checking them out.

BBC News website or random links from Google, sometimes I even check out the BBC Look Leeds website.

 

[Turanga Veela]

Shamefully, I suppose, I scrape most of my breaking news from the FB feeds of friends (though I do have lots of worldlier-than-myself friends, including one who's public radio newsreporter, so). KQED Science, local newspapers, SF Gate. And more satirically, from John Oliver, Trevor Noah & co., and Samantha Bee.

My regular news fixes are the Today programme on BBC Radio 4, plus subscriptions to Grist (American environmental newszine) and Positive News.
01/04/2017, Today - BBC Radio 4
Grist
Positive News is the constructive journalism magazine. Online and in print, we look at society’s challenges through a lens of progress and possibility.

More randomly, I like to buy a local paper whenever I visit a different area of the UK. You might think they would be of no interest whatsoever to someone visiting from elsewhere, but somehow I find them so fascinating.

In addition to the above, I have signed up to the BBC's "If you only read 6 things this week..." The only downside is that some of the material comes from parts of the BBC World Service website which are inaccessible to UK readers!
Most of what I read I end up sharing on Facebook.
You can subscribe here: If you only read 6 things this week…

 

[ZebraAutismo]

I get it from BBC radio 4 and then look it up on digital news if i'm interested.

 

[When In Rome]

I avoid news like the plague. It's all negative and depressing usually. I do love a good news story. I found an online resource a while back, Positive News I think it was called.

It's been mentioned on this very page.

Good. I wouldn't know because I only ever read and quote from the post I'm looking at. Who has time to read whole threads?

 

[Bolletje]

I have a weekend subscription to a quality daily newspaper, to keep my horizons broad. During the week I read the Dutch news online via an app, for international news usually via BBC. For scientific news I read Natural Geographic, nature.com and some medical websites. I try to steer clear of sensationalist websites and papers.

And if I want to know what Donald is up to, I watch the Daily Show.

 

[wyverary]

Mostly the New York Times; I have a student-priced digital subscription. If I could afford a paper subscription to the Sunday edition, I'd choose that. I also sometimes watch satire, like John Oliver and Trevor Noah, though not so much these days.

Online? Primarily Google News, Market Watch and Reuters.

And I like National Public Radio as well. (NPR)

 

[Questella]

Philip DeFranco and SNL

News depresses me, tried following CNN but it just became so ugh. I avoid FB like the plague anymore.

 

[bbc-bananasplit]

usually, not all of them in one day, but half

NY Times, The Guardin, BBC news //
Der Spiegel, Geo, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung FAZ, Die Zeit, TAZ //
Wired, CNET, The Verge //

and a variety of foreign news depending on the topic

 

[WildCat]

Google News mostly. That's assuming that I even want to waste time looking it up - having to hear about the cult-of-personality in chief Trump for the 100th time gets old and quick - but that's my go-to source most of the time. Local TV as well on occasion, even though it's more of the same-old.
