Where to read non-tech news?

Question

Where are you reading non-tech news? HN is great for the tech stories, but I'd also like to read non-tech stuff.I'm currently subscribing to NY Times and considering the cancellation due to their recent disappointing behaviors, but I found myself not as decisive as I hoped. I guess my hesitation here is mostly just FOMO, but the coverage on non-political, non-tech topics of The Times are decent and I'll miss it after the cancellation. It has provided me some sense of how (a subset of) Americans see the world, which is valuable for me as an immigrant.I'm curious what tech people here are reading. Are you still reading some newspapers for the news? Or mostly skimming Twitter/Facebook/Reddit/Google News or whatever? Are there any decent news sources I&rsquo;m unaware of? Or you just don't read the news?

Try financial times. They are very high on the least biased newspapers list and cover pretty interesting topics,not just finance as one may think. The Economist is okay too,albeit leaning a bit towards their own way of thinking, but covers many parts of the world one wouldn't even be think about

I like the Wall Street Journal, which costs money. The Associated Press is free: https://apnews.com/ . Bloomberg lets you read a few articles/month before subscribing. Yahoo News will make you appreciate any other site!

I read a mishmash of different things but my usuals are BBC News, the Guardian, Foreign Affairs magazine, zerohedge, RT, and eurotrib.com. I subscribe to Greenwald and Taibbi on Substack. On reddit I visit r/syriancivilwar. I just cancelled my sub to the NYT. On planes I (used to) enjoy reading the Economist.edit: If I were flying these days I would still enjoy reading the economist. I didn't want to imply that I no longer like it. I don't subscribe personally because I don't want to spend that much time reading news every week.

Any one news outlet is going to be an abomination. The best you can do is cobble together a picture based on the variety of sources available.

I&rsquo;d say the Financial Times is probably the best general news periodical, in terms of quality and neutral politics.

It's all here at HN (covid, politics, race stuff, etc.) except sports and performing arts.I read HN through Gnus via Emacs so I crunch through articles more efficiently and comprehensively than most.
