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.)
My goals are:
- “Watch” topics in particular (ex: Tech, Science, Politics, LGBTQ+ rights, etc.).
- Discover new items of interest based on my current interests.
- Reputable sources that at least attempt to be unbiased (especially those that cite respectably, such as academic publications and the like).
- Prefer FOSS solutions.
- Multiple (even dissenting) opinions are enjoyable.
I am a learned man and value knowledge, open-mindedness, objective truth, and perspective. Any suggestions are eagerly encouraged. Thank you all.
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.
