Ask HN: What other news sites do you read daily?
I've noticed that more and more HN is becoming my default go-to news site when I have a few minutes. I don't submit new articles very often because it seems like the "new" page has more than enough help, and there aren't many other news sites that I frequent.
So what about you guys? Is HN your main resource for news, or do other mediums take up more of your time?
- Concours 16y agoWell, I read HN by default and my news service and eat my own food at http://www.mcsquare.me/ http://www.mcsquare.me/ , those are my two starting points, mcsquare.me also helps me catch up on stories.
- rguzman 16y agoI have techcrunch, readwrite web, and a few other tech news sites in a folder on google reader. I glance through the headlines two or three times a day. I go to reddit occasionally, but besides HN and my subscriptions on google reader I don't use any other news sites. For real-world (as opposed to tech) news I'm a big fan of NPR's daily 5-minute news summary in podcast form. I also have the NYT and BBC news in a folder in my reader, but even keeping up with the headlines is too much.
- grobolom 16y agoDefinitely concurring on NPR; that broadcast is quick, informative, and gives you a pretty good view of what the average persons sees when they watch the news.
- stevederico 16y agoI use google reader as well. Some of my favorite feeds are: SmashingMagazine, Lifehacker, Mixergy, Engadget, xkcd
- aspir 16y agoRealClearWorld.com inundates you with quality information on world events - more than you can read and still be productive. They have sister sites regarding politics, market events, sports, and (maybe) some more areas. NPR is also a favorite HN is still a default for tech news, but it intentionally doesn't cover a wide range of topics. Also, even though I'm not a EE, I read the IEEE spectrum rss feeds daily. They're short and concise, but skip the junk that Wired and similar outlets include for mass appeal.
