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

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.

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

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.

Lemmy primarily, Podcasts, The Daily Show, Google News, Bluesky a little

Don’t you dare downvote me for the Google News. I KNOW.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events is the most neutral source of news I know. I read it every day.

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…
