Ask HN: How do you follow news outside HN
I myself sub to NYTimes as a way of supporting journalism and as a way of getting non hacker news, curious to know what outlets do people here follow?
- i5heu 5y agoI get almost all my news from HN and my handy RSS-Reader. My other main source is a state owned new-site witch i believe is pretty good https://www.dw.com/en/ https://www.dw.com/en/ I have subscribed a lot of small websites and blogs witch fill out niche interests for me. I use a RSS Reader called inoreader.com . It can also notify me about YouTube videos etc. and websites that do not support RSS.
- martinmjc 5y agoI collect bookmarks (relevant news, sports, twitter accounts, lists, etc.) and review them daily.
- 5bolts 5y agoHN, RSS (via newsblur) for some of the less "newsy" stuff - blogs/hackaday etc... then NPR while in transit, google news, aljazeera.com, bbc news.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoGoogle News, Reuters, and HN. Occasionally I look at AP. For sports, ESPN. Most everything I care about will show up one of those places.
- tofukid 5y agoI use https://sumi.news https://sumi.news to follow RSS, Twitter, and newsletters, and I’ve built up a list of hundreds of subscriptions over the years.
- a3n 5y ago1. thehill.com, to see if anything stupid has happened in the US. 2. HN 3. NYT.com, to see if anything stupid of world wide importance has happened, and to see clips of late night comedy. 4. Random, but at this point I've usually had enough. NPR used to be in there, but as a liberal I've grown tired of their liberal bias and leading question that's really a statement or accusation style of interview.
- cpach 5y agoFor worldwide coverage: The Economist, which I prefer to read on paper. For national news: A daily newspaper. For local news: Another daily newspaper. The daily papers I read on my smartphone.
- cosmodisk 5y agoI'm in the UK: 1) Financial Times 2) The Economist up until very recently. 3) The Guardian and The Daily Mail (to get some sort of balance,as these essentially are the opposite ends of the same stick) 4) A few news portals in my native Language. 5) Wired( when I'm completely bored and don't have anything else to read) 6) The local( when I want news from France/Sweden in English) 7) Breitbart ( need to check on them every now and then to see if the sentiment ever changes) 8) Some more niche papers on subjects I like. 9) Bloomberg 10) Occasional US based outlets.
- Dracophoenix 5y agoDod something go wrong with the Economist?
- cosmodisk 5y agoWhat I like about the economist is that it covers news from many places you'd otherwise unlikely to hear much about unless you are really interested in it or the job requires to know. What I didn't like at the end that there were too many 'vanilla' articles,where I read them and feel that it could be done more in-depth rather than just scratching the surface. Also felt lack of time to read it as much as I'd like. I may revisit it in the future.
- jp42 5y agoTwitter. I have lists created by me for various topics that interests me. I constantly keep adding/removing based on signal/noise from the people/handles in those list.
- jjice 5y agoI don't really follow general news. If something is important enough for me to need to know about, it'll pop up on HN, my limited Reddit feed, or via friends. Works really well for me and makes sure I don't focus on things that are out of my control.
