I’ve been meaning to ask this question: What news sites, blogs, and journalists do you follow for news and current events?

Maybe we’ll set up a repository somewhere for people to reference, that can be updated over time as people and publications become more or less relevant/reliable.

    Maybe it would be best to write the organization/affiliation/standpoint (or if applicable the specific ideology) next to the sites. Would be good to know when reading the articles to have some context.

      I think this is a good idea. I don’t think I’m the right person to gather that data since much of these are new to me too 😅. If people want to reply to this comment with that info for the ones they know I’ll update the post.

        I can start a bit: workers.org is affiliated with the Workers World Party

        And for the suggested German ones: “junge Welt” is ranging from far left social democracy to classic ML.

        demvolkedienen.org seems to be some kind of Maoist (no surprise with that name)

        Indymedia is open to everyone so every part of leftism is represented

        taz is social democratic/left liberalism

        neues Deutschland is left wing social democrats

        I’d argue that it is fine to include the social democratic sites. If you’re aware of their position you can still get the necessary information out of their articles and they usually have a higher budget than far left ones.

        Also I can recommend to read a serious bourgeois newspaper (not pure propaganda rags like the Sun) to every comrade. The bourgeoisie isn’t stupid so they have papers that tell the truth on many things. Their analysis and “solutions” are obviously different but the information is still valuable. Also it’s good to know how the bourgeoisie judges the situation. Know your enemy.
