  Have been using this portal for a year or two and what surprises me is the number of fatalities in bus accidents in India and the like. Some weeks it seems like 50-odd people die a day in a bus accident in that part of the world. We had a 10 fatality bus accident here in Aus recently and it was "the worst road accident in decades". Pretty awful that it happens almost routinely elsewhere.

    Life is very cheap in India. Things like bus crashes, people falling off trains due to overcrowding don't even make the local news because they is always something worse and 'sensational' that grabs headlines more: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/raped-rajasthan-minor-was-alive-when-burnt-cops/articleshow/103315645.cms https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/raped-rajast...

    I met with the health and safety team at a large multinational manufacturer, with factories all around the world, US, UK, Asia (including India and China). Their health and safety chart showed that, by a large margin, the highest number of worldwide health and safety lost days came from transporting workers to factories in India.

My local paper still does a good job of covering a variety of topics fairly and non-partisanly. Albeit it a day late and with paper-thin coverage. However, their staff has been cut so razor thin that most of the articles are from syndication. I read Money Stuff from Matt Levine everyday, if for no other reason than it's a good read. And if you want random, Peter Zeihan has been posting videos daily where he goes into depth on a geopolitical news topic a day. SUPER fraught, but highly informative. News in general is usually very low-quality across the board these days. There are very few local beat reporters anymore, and nearly every major paper ditched their foreign bureau. Everything has been replaced with shared wire services so there is no corroboration of stories. If there is even a story - for the most part, all we are getting is official government press releases, press conferences, and random collections of anecdotes.
- eastbayjake 3y ago
  +1 to Matt Levine, if you're in tech/law/finance and not reading him daily you're missing out on the conversation (and the fun) I'm also a daily reader of CNBC, and a multiple-times-a-week reader of the New York Times, Politico, and of course Hacker News
  - legitster 3y ago
    I know that they are, like, one of the biggest news sources in the world. But I still think NYT's reporting is underrated and taken for granted. Their coverage is pretty comprehensive, they don't jump on every zeitgeist, their editors hold the line on journalistic integrity, and they still meet the demand to crank out articles as fast as everyone else. I was hoping WaPo would give them a run for their money, but the divergence in quality is there for anyone looking.
- bryanlarsen 3y ago
  Zeihan is a great read if and only if you also read a wide variety of competing viewpoints to contrast against. He gets some things right but he gets a lot of things wrong too. Like any popular talking head he says what people want to hear, like "China is going to collapse with a decade". But he started saying that 20 years ago.

I strive to obtain as world-wide a coverage as possible. Obviously from one side or the other, some of those will be classed as 'propaganda'. But most of the biases tend to cancel out and give a fairly even point of view in the end. If I read every word in all those sites it would take me hours.

The following are posted on HN quite a bit (I find them the most entertaining): NYT,The Guardian, BBC, Bloomberg, The WSJ, South China Morning Post, Financial Times, WaPo, The Diplomat, Foreign Affairs, Atlantic, Reuters, AP News, Radio Free Europe(google spits this one out when you search for Russia, Central Asia/Eastern Europe), The Hill etc

Life is so busy these days but I like to keep tabs on the biggest headlines. I've been subscribed to 1440 for maybe a year and love it. I basically can just skim the world events while brushing my teeth in the morning, and there are links if I feel like reading more. It's a nice format that leaves no guilt if I miss it for the day. I'm also quite happy with its lack of bias: there are a couple of extremely subtle hints of bias but generally it's kept as "facts-only" as possible. https://join1440.com/ https://join1440.com/

Not news proper. I have a pile of programming-related RSS feeds I follow, including HN. And some fun hashtags on Mastodon (like astronomy, geology, history, etc.) If something is newsworthy, it makes it through one of those sources. I follow a subreddit for my town, as well, to get local info. Someone here on HN asked what actions someone has taken based on the last 10,000 news articles they've read. I realized I couldn't name one, so decided news was a waste of time. By comparison, I can name a quite a number of actions I've taken from my current feeds, e.g. from learning more programming stuff to jumping on EFF action alerts, etc.

Hacker News Although I guess it's not so much a source but just an aggregation.
logicalmonster 3y ago
No news source is completely unbiased, but I feel like I can put more trust in news sources that are willing to really "call out their own team" when they're full of shit. For what little it's worth, I disagree with guys like @GlennGreenwald on some topics, but he's fearless in being willing to call out the left when they're stupid on issues like war and many other things. That's the mark of somebody actually attempting to be a newsman and not an advocate.

Hacker News, PurePC (Polish website about PC hardware). I don't read news about current world events, if something is important I will know about this from someone else anyway. Too much information isn't good for mental health. I feel much better when I don't know about negative news, which even 99% of time don't affect me anyway (I have OCD).

I google a term of interest, then simply check out the related news for the past 24 hours. Don't really care about the source as I consider all news to be entertainment. The following are posted on HN quite a bit (I find them the most entertaining): NYT,The Guardian, BBC, Bloomberg, The WSJ, South China Morning Post, Financial Times, WaPo, The Diplomat, Foreign Affairs, Atlantic, Reuters, AP News, Radio Free Europe(google spits this one out when you search for Russia, Central Asia/Eastern Europe), The Hill etc

Life is so busy these days but I like to keep tabs on the biggest headlines. I've been subscribed to 1440 for maybe a year and love it. I basically can just skim the world events while brushing my teeth in the morning, and there are links if I feel like reading more. It's a nice format that leaves no guilt if I miss it for the day. I'm also quite happy with its lack of bias: there are a couple of extremely subtle hints of bias but generally it's kept as "facts-only" as possible. https://join1440.com/ https://join1440.com/

Not news proper. I have a pile of programming-related RSS feeds I follow, including HN. And some fun hashtags on Mastodon (like astronomy, geology, history, etc.) If something is newsworthy, it makes it through one of those sources. I follow a subreddit for my town, as well, to get local info. Someone here on HN asked what actions someone has taken based on the last 10,000 news articles they've read. I realized I couldn't name one, so decided news was a waste of time. By comparison, I can name a quite a number of actions I've taken from my current feeds, e.g. from learning more programming stuff to jumping on EFF action alerts, etc.

Generally: 1. NPR Up First podcast while brushing teeth. 2. This site for tech and adjacent nerdy topics. 3. Macrumors, 9to5mac, and various blogs via RSS. 4. Apple News+ subscription (that I got as part of Apple One) — check regularly for more in-depth stories form a variety of sources, and for following big events.

Web Shuffle - sends user to random news websites from an AI curated list of sources. Its like the old StumbleUpon but aimed at popular / news websites. https://webshuffle.mickschroeder.com/ https://webshuffle.mickschroeder.com/ I create a bookmark directly to the redirect page which lets me shuffle to random websites right from my bookmark toolbar. I click that a few times to sort of "channel surf" the web. https://webshuffle.mickschroeder.com/redirect https://webshuffle.mickschroeder.com/redirect There is also a Digital Newsstand with live screenshots of all the sources.

For french speakers, and they have some of their content in English, and automated translation is always possible: https://www.mediapart.fr/ https://www.mediapart.fr/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediapart https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediapart Medipart is one of the only medias in France (there is only 1 other I can think of) that is NOT owned by private interests, a network, a billionaire, or many billionaires or millionaires. It is funded by its subscribers And above all else, it does investigative journalism which actually led MANY times ministers and other powerful people to justice. Never ever Mediapart has been wrong so far when building a case against a corrupted official.

Hacker News Although I guess it's not so much a source but just an aggregation.

logicalmonster 3y ago

No news source is completely unbiased, but I feel like I can put more trust in news sources that are willing to really "call out their own team" when they're full of shit. For what little it's worth, I disagree with guys like @GlennGreenwald on some topics, but he's fearless in being willing to call out the left when they're stupid on issues like war and many other things. That's the mark of somebody actually attempting to be a newsman and not an advocate.

Hacker News, PurePC (Polish website about PC hardware). I don't read news about current world events, if something is important I will know about this from someone else anyway. Too much information isn't good for mental health. I feel much better when I don't know about negative news, which even 99% of time don't affect me anyway (I have OCD).
