Associated Press is great for world news. They’re a bit slow but you get less mistakes.
For important news like Linux news, destination Linux, brodie Robinson and the Linux experiment are my goto.

Using this thing right here as an RSS reader! TIL.
mongabay@rss.ponder.cat - Mongabay
An excellent source that I’m ashamed I only discovered recently. Consistently first-rate independent journalism on literally the most important subjects there are. Should be better known. Read. Donate.
Great other choices too.

Wow you can use Lemmy as an RSS feed? Will these posts overpower local stuff though?
Hopefully me clicking on these won’t mean the all view on my instance is now completely overtaken by this stuff…

I don’t think it should. “Active” sort should mostly only show the ones that have some user engagement to them, and “Scaled” sort should only show ones that are either from a few minutes ago, or have a handful of upvotes to them, or from sources that very rarely post. “Scaled” is honestly pretty good, IDK why it is not the default.
Also, I make an effort not add feeds to it willy-nilly and to blacklist ones that tend to post spam or other stupid content. Some admins will remove everything from rss.ponder.cat from their front page feed, also, which makes sense to me.
I was a little bit surprised to see that only a few of them are federated to slrpnk right now. These are already subscribed to from slrpnk, though, so you can check them out with a trace of guilt:
It’s honestly a very pleasingly slrpnk-vibe collection of communities. 😃

Yeah Mongabay is on the list thanks to me, and I’ll have to check out the others.
I looked at a few sorting mechanisms and it does seem to be OK with the exception of new and scaled. Scaled in particular had a lot of posts from Mongabay, but maybe this is just because it was recently federated for the first time? I’ll check back and see if it subsides after a little while. I hope it does because while I don’t really use the all view, I know some people who do are very bothered by these types of frequent bot posts, including one of our admins.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net
Hm… oh, I got it. Yeah, forget what I said about “Scaled.”
And yeah, I’m bothered by frequent bot posts. I just recently unsubscribed from a bunch of fedia.io stuff because of it. I tried to be pretty selective about what feeds to add, refused a couple of requests for some ones, added spam filters for sources that like to sprinkle advertising into their articles, that kind of stuff. But I do agree, having anything that’s automated blasting into the feeds is probably a thing to be minimized unless people have specifically opted in to it. If there is something I can do from my end to make it less that way let me know, I’ve done pretty much all I could think of to make it less obnoxious.
Programming.dev, I know, is one of the places that removed rss.ponder.cat from their “All” feed for that reason, so you still have the option to subscribe, but it defaults to hidden. I don’t know how to do that but if the admins want to do it, they could ask, I’m sure it’s pretty simple.

Oh that’s an interesting idea. Seems like it would be the ideal solution if it’s not overly difficult for us.

Hmm, not sure how they did it. To my knowledge that is only an upcoming feature although now that I think about it I somewhat remember that it was already partially available in the current release backend but not exposed in the UI or so 🤔

Cool so it is possible. Seems like a good solution to the problem of automated communities that put out a lot of posts.

ground news
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone
I’m usually trusting Reuters or AP news
Though I’ve heard of ground.news and have been thinking about subscribing, DAE have experience with them? Are they as unbiased as they claim?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from cm0002@lemmy.world
Reuters usually has half decent articles, but they’re owned by billionaires out of Canada. This look into them was done late last year: sh.itjust.works/comment/12174374
AP has some sketch board members as shown here: sh.itjust.works/comment/12174861

While Reuters is obviously written from a neoliberal perspective, I think as long as you are aware of that, their coverage is fine. It’s very fact based. It’s designed to provide information for capitalists who are trying to make money from current events, so they have an incentive to do accurate coverage, but of course they will mainly cover things that are relevant to the finance world.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net
Agree. The whole idea of “balancing” news coverage by combining together US-left and US-right is pretty boneheaded, but there’s actually a solid concept somewhere in there. I think combining factually strong sources, with a genuine variety of slants and takes on the news, will set you up to understand things pretty well. Reuters / NYT / Wapo is okay (for now), Al Jazeera is okay, The Guardian or some other establishment-left news is okay, and all of them are mostly unlikely to just straight-up lie to you factually, so if you combine them I feel like you’re set up with a decently complete picture of the facts. And then of course there are details and opinions that can come in a lot higher quality from some other more niche sources.

It helps that their business model doesn’t rely on ads or user tracking, and instead relies on subscriptions from other news businesses. This obviously isn’t perfect as it requires those other businesses to exist and be profitable, but it’s a helpful layer of insulation.

I like AP News a lil better than Reuters. Axios and NBC News ain’t bad either if you’re okay with using sites that skew a lil farther to the left.

Publically owned or controlled (or at least majority owned and controlled) news services in major countries
CBC - in Canada (where I’m from)
PBS - in the US
ABC - Australia
BBC - in the UK
France 24 - in France
NHK - in Japan
Although there are criticisms for each, at the very least, they give a good guidance to relevant straight forward news without too much spin.

I have been trying to curate my list and they’re all very chatty. I end up struggling to stay on top of it even just dismissing articles I won’t read, let alone reading a significant percentage.

I organize them into lists and start with the most relevant ones. Use filters to remove spam as best I can. Then skim the titles. Not every publication is pushing 30 articles/day. I won’t claim to read all of them.
