As an English speaker, most easily accessible news sources on the internet are very Americentric. Given the current state of global politics, I want to break out of that bubble.

I have dual American/Italian citizenship, so I’d like to keep up to date with Italian + EU current events. All I can find are the most major national scandals, Prime Ministers talking about Trump, and the results of soccer football matches.

So leggere un po’ di italiano, but not enough yet to read a newspaper. How can I keep up?

    Can’t speak from a non-Americacentric POV, but usually I find that just by being online I somehow am able to find out a lot about what’s going on in some places because of what I watch on yt. That, and communities here.

    Some weird new law in Japan censoring Mangaka from creating what they want because some Japanese politician apparently hates Japanese culture that isn’t PG at worst? Has floated to me due to a channel I check up on in Newpipe.

    The whole thing about Italy literally giving big corporations the right to decide what is and is not allowed on Italian Internet and forcing ISPs to block them effective immediately? First heard about it from the piracy(at)Lemmy(dot)dbzer0(dot)com community, when someone posted a link to a TorrentFreak article.

    Things randomly drift to me because of how I view and consume media.
