Al Jazeera should definitely be on your list for non-Western coverage: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/
Their coverage of the middle-East is likely to be biased by their Qatari ownership, but they cover major world stories neglected by the Western press.

- naruvimama 7y agoExtremely one sided and pro-islamic.
- muzani 7y agoI'm not sure what you mean? Of course, there's an Islamic bias because it's written by Muslims. But it's a lot fairer than most media.
- naruvimama 7y agoNot just bias, but sometimes a propaganda piece. One side of the story, often the most significant one is left out. It is funded by the state of Qatar to act as its mouthpiece. In the Islamic world every country legitimizes itself by trying to sound more islamic than the other. I am just stating that they may be strongly biased. They do make crisp documentaries and interesting news stories.

- ajeet_dhaliwal 7y agoThere’s nothing anyone will be able to recommend here that isn’t biased. There’s no unbiased western ones either. Just have to read a bunch and try to make a judgement that is also likely wrong.
