Ask HN: What do you use as your go-to source of world news?
2 by tunnuz | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I used to "trust" Google News to give me a reasonable picture of the state of the world, perhaps even with some bias towards things I'm interested in, but now I find it very difficult to navigate. Choosing a region biases the news loads, and I can't choose Europe as a region. I would like something which is as broad as possible, and reports on the important stuff. Nowadays I tend to use the Guardian because I'm fairly progressive-leaning and it seems good enough in terms of quality, and it's also free (I really don't want to have to pay for another subscription, but I understand that beggars can't be choosers). Is there anything else I should check out? With the recent invasion of Ukraine, I have relied more and more on Twitter, but I really struggle to get the signal out of the noise, it's just not proper journalism. What I noticed, however, is that major news outlets tend to just rebroadcast whatever is on Twitter, just with many hours of delay and (hopefully, but not always, given the fast-paced rate at which new stuff happens) with some fact-checking. I am really looking for advice.
