What non-American news sources do you recommend?

My go-to news source is Radio New Zealand International. I have their world news tab bookmarked: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world

They use outside newswires to supplement, but the important part to me is that they are curating it.

The reasons I like them are:

1. There is no advertising. They are not trying to get you to click their headline to increase traffic.

2. There are no donations. No temptation to write for a 'left', 'right' or 'middle' audience.

3. They don't care about the US (where I live). They only report on US matters that are important. Crucial stores from my country are not mixed in with stories that are not meaningful or essential.

4. They are funded by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage.

5. And if the grid goes down, you can get them on shortwave, so they are dependable. (I discovered them on shortwave during an extended power outage)

They're very useful when the US/World news is overwhelming (i.e., Jan 6, etc).

Australian Broadcasting Corporation (Australia) https://www.abc.net.au/

British Broadcasting Corporation (United Kingdom) https://www.bbc.com/

Deutsche Welle (Germany) https://www.dw.com/en/top-stories/s-9097

The Times of India (India) https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/

The Hindu (India) https://www.thehindu.com/

The Neue Zürcher Zeitung is a delightfully centrish-center-right liberal publication.

Switzerland, and the German speaking world in general are almost always on the sidelines in issues of politics, tech, economics and especially foreign policy when it’s outside, or merely adjacent to continental Europe.

For issues in Europe, well, it’s Swiss & German speaking. In US affairs, of which there is slightly too much coverage, it manages to avoid the polemics present in German-German publications.

https://www.nzz.ch/

Some I find relevant: Euronews[0], Politico Europe[1] and RT[2]. Every news source has a bias, you just have to acknowledge it.

[0] https://www.euronews.com [1] https://www.politico.eu [2] https://www.rt.com

I like several, but every source is biased in some ways: The Guardian, Haaretz, Al Jazeera, RT, Der Spiegel, and South China Times.

I judge on which US centric stories are covered and generally agree with other international sources. I find MSNBC, CNN, and Fox to be generally bad because of two reasons: they seem to be bad at walking back stories that they get wrong, and they seem to simply not cover some important topics.

I like the BBC. As an American I can read their articles (same language), and while they do have some aligned interests, they have fewer hard dependencies on certain US outcomes from their reporting. Not perfect of course, but may provide a more rounded perspective. I’ve also seen good reporting from Indian and Canadian outlets but I can’t remember them by name off hand.

I like Reuters. I'm not sure how unbiased they are on UK news, but for US and global news they seem fairly straight.

France 24 English is pretty good.

I watch it on YouTube, it seems very balanced compared to American outrage porn

dw.com might be an interesting source for english speakers interested in international news from a German POV. Basically party of our public broadcasting infrastructure targeted at international readers.

https://restofworld.org/

> Rest of World is an international nonprofit journalism organization. We document what happens when technology, culture and the human experience collide, in places that are typically overlooked and underestimated. We believe the story about technology is as big as the world that’s using it, and that everyone — from those building technology to those using it — can benefit from a broader global perspective.

I still find the economist good. Its not cheap, but it always had interesting take on news from around the world.

For TV news I've started to stream DW (German) and France24 for europe in the background sometimes. Oddly they're in english. They're not supper hard hitting (I'm not sure if they're government sponsored or where they come from) but you get different stories and a different perspective and lately lots of spanish island volcano footage.

They have youtube streams.

South China Morning Post https://www.scmp.com Relatively objective coverage of China

It all depends on what you want. Do want a West-centric news aggregate? Do you want as wide a set of views as possible? Do you want Asian-centric news? Do you want Tech-centric news?

My set of news websites is designed to give as wide a set of news sources as possible. So you will West-centric, China-centric, Russia-centric, Asian-centric websites in my list.

By having a very-wide set of sources, many of the biases (and ALL news sources are biased) will tend to cancel out. You will often find that news-sources omit stuff that isn't flattering to the local powers, so you won't see that news there, you will find it in one of the other sources instead.

The Guardian (Britain) https://theguardian.com/

Russia Today https://www.rt.com/

ABC News (Australia) https://www.abc.net.au/news/

Global Times (China) https://www.globaltimes.cn/

Press TV (Iran) https://www.presstv.ir/

BBC News (Britain) https://www.bbc.com/news/

Some websites I refuse to use are the Rupert Murdoch ones (Fox News, Wall Street Journal, Sky News, news.com.au, etc. from US, Britain, Australia.) These are generally unreliable and have been the focus of a court ruling which states "because they are classed as 'entertainment' and not 'news, they have no obligation to be truthful" - Florida ruling, early 1990s

CBC - Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Canada is America's biggest trading partner so we keep a close eye on the States and what is happen there and how it will effect us.

I tend to check out the BBC and Al Jazeera English. I'm usually looking for "Just the facts, ma'am." reporting and often find it there before other sources.

I have Feedly set up to use a lot of the suggestions others have said so far. One that I haven't seen yet is CBC (Canadaian Broadcasting Corporation). I have been very happy with the neutrality of most of their articles. I also use ABC for Australia, though they are less neutral.

https://www.theguardian.com/ is free to read and excellent if, euro centred news.

The. Economist.

Notes:

1. Some of these have editorial offices in multiple countries.

2. I'm UK based (to explain the bias above).

3. Lists tend to overload with information, but there are more.
