With so many international news sites resorting to pay walls (and/or annoying ads), it’s becoming harder and harder to find the best mixture of good old-fashioned news plus up-to-the-minute email alerts. For us, Associated Press still rocks in first place. https://apnews.com/world-news But what about you? What are your best go-to news sources to stay informed on the whole planet?
7) Best Source for International News
You’ve got to be kidding. AP is about as far left as the mainstream media gets.
Hi Blake. We don’t really read the news for political slant. We just try to figure out what’s going on around the world.
I would not trust one source as a “go to”. For breaking news or alerts, I would use an aggregate like Feedly or Factal. If you are looking for accuracy, take 3 to 4 sources that all have a different slant. Somewhere in the middle you might find the truth. Just make sure you are not allowing confirmation bias to take over. That will get you in trouble. Just some advice from an old intelligence professional.

I think all the major news sources do a good job in covering what’s going on around the world. Problem is, all of them are bias politically.
So whenever I want to understand what’s going on, I read all of the major news sources (AP, Reuters, BBC, CNN, Fox) as I each often contains pieces of information that is not found in the others.
1440 is also no bad but it doesn’t cover things as it happens. Another one that’s similar is: https://thepourover.org/news/
