I have used YouTube, Reddit and Mastodon for news related to certain topics. Now I want to be more independent in finding my own news sources. However, there are so many sources on the internet I wouldn’t know where to begin to find them by myself.

    in word: RSS

    explanation: I looked into some RSS apps time ago and some apps (found a lot open source in F-droid) just need to search what your interest or keywords and it will find you source of news

      I use feedly pretty much every day. The Times for reasonable news. Bloomberg because it’s the closest thing to right-wing news that isn’t batshit crazy. Lots of international sources for other perspectives… BBC, Al Jazeera, Japan Times, etc… Then lots of tech industry news just because that’s my field.

      The subscriptions are going to seem high when you first look but this is the reality of the current news landscape… If you want legitimate news it’s going to cost money. If you want legitimate news that isn’t completely dependent on advertising, it’s going to cost more money.
