Where can I find real news?
Main Post:
Hi Reddit,
I am a 24 year old girl living in California. I am so sick of social media, particularly instagram and TikTok, and the damage it’s done to my cognition. I deleted the apps, but now I feel so uninformed. Despite all the gunk, those apps were how I stayed present.
What other news outlets can I use? How do people off these apps stay informed? Do you have any twitter recommendations for news sources? I also want to stay meme culture savvy as well, which is obviously difficult without instagram. I want general news, Us and global, but also pop culture as well. Does anyone have any recommendations, I just want to get off these apps that feel like they trap you.
Edit: anyone know any twitter or Reddit accounts to follow for pop culture and relevant news?
Top Comment: Ground News is good in that it shows you the political bias of reporting for any given story https://ground.news
What are your best news sources?
Main Post:
I want to get familiar now with news sources that are impartial, dedicated to ethical journalism, and unlikely to be bullied. I'd love to hear some thoughts?
Top Comment: Not a singular news source but I followed a bunch of journalists on BlueSky and substack. My news intake has gone from sifting through mainstream headlines to getting recommended articles straight from the authors and while it hasn't helped my doom scrolling problem I do feel better informed. I just subscribed to a few starter packs of journalists focused on different things like democracy, government, science.
Can someone recommend a subreddit to read news from reliable sources?
Main Post:
I am not looking for regular news sources, nor am I trying to read a famous person’s half-assed take on a random issue. I usually prefer to stick to science, and use subreddits that link peer-reviewed articles to each post. I would like something similar. For example, a post in these subreddits could look like: COVID Cases on the Rise [link to CDC report] || OR || Dangerous Levels of Chemicals in X River Linked to New Pesticide [link to EPA report].
