Hello! I'm looking for help in finding ways to stay up to date with News "of the World" in the modern age. Having de-Googled (and, therefore, abandoned Google News), I find it hard to track what is going on outside of links posted to Lemmy/Mastodon (my only social media), and have no subscriptions to any streaming channels and no cable TV. I'm hoping someone can help me find a way to subscribe/watch enough news that I can stay properly informed. (For context, I am living in the US but believe I should be aware of activities in the rest of the World as we all undoubtedly impact each other.)
RSS feeds is probably what you are looking for, create a group of your favorite news sources, most of the sites have them.
I like feeder browser addon for Firefox.
AP and Reuters are unbiased, but that's because they are news agencies. They are not journalistic media, which means they often don't provide context to what they talk about (which is only fine if you already know the topic) and you won't find any in-depth stories, investigative journalism, explainers, etc
RSS readers are the best. You can install any "dumb" RSS reader or use one that also suggests sources by topic, such as Inoreader (my personal choice) or Feedly
EDIT for clarity: Feedly and Inoreader are cloud-based, meaning that everything is synced between devices. Inoreader is based in Europe, Feedly in the US.
Man, keep to the minimum amount of news and I think you'll be happier in life.
That said, I'm not sure if you've considered podcasts to get news in a controlled dose? PBS news, BBC World etc. They usually have daily episodes available in various lengths.
