What's your mains source of news?

[LaVitesse2022]

With the decline of good written journalism, polarisation of the media, and the fragmentation of the news landscape, how do people keep updated with the news these days? I don't mean daily news but rather informative reflections on current affairs, with the odd interesting piece to broaden horizons? There are good substacks but I would like a single place/newsletter I could subscribe that would give me links to interesting current pieces around the Web. Any suggestions? For info, I already subscribe to Helen Lewis's Blue stocking but I feel it's increasingly too niche

The BBC news app which I look at every morning. I only read the British news though as I cannot bear to read world affairs and see Trumps face (ignorance really is bliss).

The Week magazine would actually do most of what you describe. Sometimes the news outpaces it as a weekly.

The Week is a good shout.

If you have a public library card most libraries facilitate the Press Reader app. Press Reader allows you to read most newspapers, things like the Economist, Guardian Weekly, The Week, The Spectator, etc. and lots of other magazines - all for free.

You can set them to auto download. My library just requires me to sign in once every thirty days. I keep toying with cancelling my newspapers/Economist subscriptions and just using PR, but I've never actually followed through with it.

Radio 2.

Oh my goodness, I had no idea about this. I'm a member of my local library so that's brilliant!

Reuters for national and international news. I feel they are the only ones who are not biased in their national and international reporting.

BBC for local news.

Radio 4.

BBC, The Guardian, NYT, Christian Science Monitor and the occasional Aussie newspaper.

Reuters, online subscription to the i paper, I do read The Conversation but mainly for health and science articles rather than news and the BBC a bit

I have the radio on all day, usually 5Live.
