Every once and awhile, we revisit this question, just to see if something else has cropped up. Some people swear by…
But honestly, I have a hard time finding anything that beats the computer-driven model at…
You can customize the page with key words and cool “sliders” that let you focus on the topics that YOU want to see. So… learn less about the Kardashians and more about Kyrgyzstan. See fewer pointless ads and more themes that matter. (This is Google done right.) Drop entire sections in favor of YOUR preferences. Make it as international, national, regional, and/or local as you like. And, of all things, get it all for free??? I must be dreaming.
So can you beat the Google news page? What’s your favorite way to keep up to date on what’s happening with hurricanes, refugees, politics, and more?
I enjoy veryquiet.com. It gives the top 10 headlines across multiple new broadcasters and so if I am short of time I can scan and see if sth hits a number of the columns and then read that
Thanks for mentioning Very Quiet. I had not heard of that one before. As a news junkie, especially for world news, I appreciate the BBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post among others. The news wires are also good and many have an app for those who use those devices. You may know AP and Reuters, but don’t miss AFP, the French Press Agency which has a lot of world news in their app. Finally, for a different twist, try Thompson Reuters News Foundation which focuses on development issues. Their daily newsletter is very helpful: http://news.trust.org/. Then there is Inter Press News Service for coverage of developing world news: http://www.ipsnews.net/
