Is there an alternate source for this? It's how I got my news up until it shut down.

Is there an alternate source for this? It's how I got my news up until it shut down. You could always pay for the news you consume.

  Is rss provided if you have an account? Otherwise it doesn't answer the question.

  RSS has nothing to do with payment for content.

  I’m a huge proponent for paid news, but that’s a bit of a strawman argument. Reuters hasn’t made their rss paid, or removed all of their free news content. It is sad that we’re losing a uniquely powerful mechanism for consuming news because we can’t find a business model that supports it. People Who consumed RSS news can’t just pay and get an equivalent experience. RSS allows filtering and combining news sources in ways that make them much more valuable, and can’t be reproduced just by paying for a single subscription to a publisher.

  I tire of this suggestion. It made sense to me, so a few years I started subscribing to several newspapers, digitally. Suddenly I was getting paper newspapers all the time. This became a safety / security concern because when I would travel, the newspapers would pile up. Nevermind the sheer amount of waste. Since I didn't actually ask for delivery, I had no mechanism to put my deliveries on hold. I contacted the various newspapers 3-8 different times to ask them to stop. Eventually they all only stopped when I cancelled my digital subscription and told them that was the reason. I also wasn't very happy with the news I was paying to get. Even though I was paying, it was still riddled with ads, and heavy on the click-bait. I would find an article with a compelling subject, but felt the writing lacked substance. So I would go look up similar articles from other sources, and have to read 5 or 6 before I felt I had a good sense of enough of the facts to judge any of the articles by. There was never 1 outlet I could pay for that I consistently felt had a well-rounded, factual statement of a story. I'm not paying for 5 or 6 newspapers and doing that much work for every story I read, sorry. If only for my emotional health, I'll choose to remain ignorant at that point. This was mostly local papers. I would be willing to try a couple of national papers if they didn't have similar problems, but as far as I can tell, they do - but at least it's less severe. I probably should support some international news sources as they are a lot better in this regard (like Reuters, Al Jazeera, BBC) but I don't think I've ever been prompted to subscribe. I just checked Reuter's website and I don't even see the option. Is that even the business model with these sources? But that's all beside the point. If I pay, will I get an RSS feed? No.

  I am paying for The Economist, and they still track me through 10 trackers (last time I checked) and resell me.

Is it wrong that I miss Pointcast? It was before RSS, and would download full articles (including images and ads, etc) for use when you wanted to read it.

  Pointcast, boy that brings back some memories.

Depends on what your after really. In my case subscribing to a nation-wide newspaper feels like a good solution. Or is it an RSS feed specifically that you want?

AP and Reuters have excellent twitter feeds.

  To extend that a bit, using something like RSS-Bridge[0] you can turn a Twitter feed into an RSS feed. [0] https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge

    Truly a great recommendation! I switched to tt-rss years ago when Google Reader was discontinued, but as more services discontinue their RSS feeds it has been consistently losing value. I'd looked for something like rss-bridge ages ago, around the time I moved to tt-rss, but it didn't seem to exist (or wasn't popular enough to find). Your mention caused me to give things another look, and now my tt-rss is rapidly filling back up with content. Thanks!

CNN offers several RSS feeds: https://www.cnn.com/services/rss/ https://www.cnn.com/services/rss/

  CNN is highly editorialized and borders infotainment. I too am struggling to find good sources of professional journalism.

  Why does it seem like there's only cnn, nyt and abc in the feed? Can we get articles from all sides of the spectrum? I'd like to see RT, fox, aljazeera and some edgy stuff I don't even know about

    There are categories on the sidebar that you can switch between, and you can also create a (free) account and choose which sources/categories you want in a custom feed.

    Using third-party aggregators like this only adds a middle man to a process which can be easily done by yourself using something like Nextcloud News on a personal server - a SBC like a Raspberry Pi or something similar is enough for this task (and others). You get to choose exactly which sources you want to add, from The Daily Beast to The Daily Wire, from Breitbart to HuffPo, take your pick and add them. You might have to do some work to find a feed link or rig up a scraper for those sites which don't offer one but this is worth the effort. One of the big advantages of running your own aggregator is that you get to see part of the editorial process - article titles are being changed, often from 'honest' to 'biased' or 'bland', articles are first put up but dropped a few minutes later, etc. You get to see how different outlets report on the same issue without any potential filtering by a middle man.
