Show HN: Koinos Kosmos – News from Around the World
A little project to display news from around the world, from a local source. I wanted to see what people all over the world might be thinking or dealing with and I think this does a decent job at it.
Many of the sites are the national news agency, when I didn't find one, I then chose a popular news site.
I selected for English first and only when there wasn't one, I took the website and then run translate it. This means that the news sources are biased for English speakers, possibly expats.
Please let me know if there is a better representative news source.
The missing countries are Kiribati, Micronesia, Nauru and Tuvalu.
An interesting note is that many countries had English news but African countries seemed to only have French and South American countries only had Spanish. These places didn't have English alternatives which might say something about their own identity, maybe it is stronger there or they don't have much to do with the West?
- petodo 4y agoFor Czech language you don't have news website but some trash personal blog, I assure you these are NOT news in Czechia: The Best Websites for European Football News Coinplay celebrates World Cup with a 100% Welcome Bonus of up to 5000 USDT Ways To Travel More Efficiently and Effectively For real news go here (Czech public radio): https://english.radio.cz https://english.radio.cz Slovakia has better source, but also not really news articles, 2/3 articles are Slovak post nonsense: News digest: Slovenská Pošta is closing post offices in Bratislava as well as other towns Slovenská Pošta closes two out of seven post offices in Bratislava’s Petržalka Weekend: English YouTuber recommends best motorcycle adventures in Slovakia It would be better to switch to Public TV website: https://enrsi.rtvs.sk/articles/news https://enrsi.rtvs.sk/articles/news
- nivethan 4y agoThank you, updated. For Slovakia I used dennikn.sk as the rtvs link didn't seem to have an rss feed.
- petodo 4y agoI am not aware dennikn.sk would have English, in case you want mainstream Slovak news not in English then sme.sk or aktuality.sk are the most popular sites (not tabloid), though all of these 3 have mostly paid articles, which is why I recommended rtvs which is free
- nivethan 4y agoI switched the site to use sme.sk. I'll need to re-evaluate if I do want to use an English site first vs using the most popular site and translating it. The latter will be a better representation.
