What websites/apps/whatever do you use to get your news?

    TikTok mostly, a few SoMe Journalists I follow, like Under The Desk News and Lisa Ren Millard. But also Google News for more wide coverage.

        Under the Desk news focuses on subjects that matter to me, and Lisa is dead center. So I am carful, but thank you. Also, like I said, I don’t just use those two sources for my news.

      I see you’re getting downvoted even though you respectfully answered the question, looks like the Reddit tradition of downvoting anything you disagree with to bury it is alive and well here on Lemmy

          I don’t get how people don’t understand that down voting for stuff like this is not good for the communities overall health.

          OP asked a question, and you answered it. You weren’t shilling, so what’s the issue?

            Yep, doesn’t really surprise me anymore. If I cared about votes I might care, but I’d have to value the down voters opinion for it to matter to me, and I really don’t.

    This is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them.

    I’m in Canada, where the tech giants just blocked all Canadian media outlets due to new media profit sharing legislation.

    I get my news from:

    • Nora Loreto’s daily news podcast
    • Mastodon #cdnpoli #onpoli #topoli
    • Direct from CBC, Toronto Star
    • Lemmy
    • What my friend group shares on Discord.

    I haven’t been as invested in news lately, but this looks a little promising: https://dailycanada.ca/ It’s an rss feed from all media outlets in Canada.
