    AP, BBC, and NPR for general news. Been on the hunt for some English language news covering the rest of the world and provide an outside look at US news.

    Facebook feed of 60+ raptor rescues and wildlife photography groups and Google News search for owl news to post to !superbowl@lemmy.world

    Lemmy Top 6 Hours for any breaking news and news about stuff I wouldn’t normally look for.

    If anything really catches my eye, I’ll generally Google it to get at least one other article from a different source to get more info or a second take on the story.

      Basically the same. Just that I use the apple news app. Most of it is the major news organizations. Ap, Reuters, things like that

    Personally I don’t like reading news very much, I just keep various live news feeds up in the background while I do other things. Typically Al Jazeera English, but they rerun segments pretty often throughout the day, at which point I’ll just turn it off, or switch over to CGTN. Occasionally I’ll watch MSNBC or CNN if they aren’t being ultra cringe (rare occurrence) for more US focused coverage, though I can hardly stand to watch either for very long.

    I never read articles for my news. I almost exclusively watch TLDR news on YouTube. Very impartial and intentionally neutral. Just the facts and zero inflammatory language or strong emotions, which is what I hated most about other news outlets.

    They sometimes miss the nuance of certain situations but comments will usually provide sufficient insight on anything they miss.
