Like many others, I used reddit as a link aggregator to keep up with news and current events. I’m never going back to reddit so I’m using ino reader as my news app and was hoping to get some suggestions on good sources to keep up on news, politics, etc. Any suggestions on sites I should check out to stay informed?

    Different sources emphasize different regions and politics. Most Leftist sources are not trying to provide news in the same sense as mainstream journalism, as much as analysis and criticism for broader events and trends.

    In the US, Democracy Now may be the best example of an anti-capitalist replacement for mainstream journalism.

    The Guardian, which has both US and UK editions, provides a mixture of left-liberal and anti-capitalist journalism.

    Other sources include, for current developments, Truthout, Truthdig, It’s Going Down, The Nation, the Monthly Review, Vice, and Vox, and for deeper analysis, the Chris Hedges Report, the Real News Network, the Laura Flanders Show, the Hampton Institute, and Jacobin. More theoretical analysis is being produced by Democracy at Work and meta (Centre for Post-capitalist Civilization).

    The last source, meta, is the only I have given, other than the Guardian, not dominantly emphasizing the US.
