Ask HN: Where do you read the news?
7 points by wizzzzzy on Oct 19, 2017 | hide | past | favorite | 14 comments
Where do you go regularly to read news/current affairs/politics? I generally head to the Guardian for this kind of stuff but am increasingly feeling inclined to look elsewhere.


I have a list of news sites bookmarked that I open in tabs each morning that include:

   AP
   Reuters
   HN
   Science Bulletin
   The Conversation
   Ordinary Times
   The Intercept
Sometimes I still sometimes hit news.google.com but I removed them from my bookmarks list late last year.


Why not news.google.com? Too much personal filtering?


Yes.

Anything that I'm learning from is "News" to me so an algorithm that tries to "match my interests" based on what I've looked at previously just doesn't work for me and Google News just got boring.


News.google.com has long been my standard, but I feel like it is building a bit of a news bubble trying to recommend stories it thinks will interest me. And its recent move to show less detail per article on the page is also a step backward from what I prefer.


until the change that occured this year I loved google news, since the new change I feel like it is just a headline generator with more space and less information.

lately I have received two summaries a week from Signal [0] which keeps me generally aware of what is going on but I know I am becoming less and less informed as a result of google news becoming a source of disinformation (my opinion). I think the focus on headlines and decrease in information density makes people focus on headlines more and choose not to read articles...

The Economist. I like to keep tabs on what the Rothschilds are thinking. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist)


BBC & Guardian. spiegel.de has a lot of English content and is good for the German perspective. Also news.google.com
