I used to like to follow the news on TV, but I do it very rarely for the simple reason that the media only shows news that interests them and is no longer impartial. My main source of information is watching videos by some Youtuber influencers, mainly about economics, finance and nowadays I've abstained from politics.

no longer impartial

I quite agree with you. It's rare to find real journalisme that isn't influenced by some other agenda...

To stay informed I use different media but in particular the internet but whatever information I look for the main part is finding a reliable source because the source is often more important than the information because there is so much fake news out there

the source is often more important

I often tend to think that the source defines the information or your beliefs are mirrored in the news that you get presented by the algorithms.

I tend to look at social networks a lot, whether it's facebook, instagram, hive, X, threads (meta) in short, all of these are sources of information for me because I've practically silenced a lot of people who only post nonsense and I've bookmarked profiles about technology, cryptocurrencies, positivity and information, so practically all of my networks are focused on good things for me.

Interesting topic! I get notifications of local news stories and football stories from sites I subscribe too. I usually check the BBC site for news, then goto google or X to get more info. Often put BBC and X versions together and imagine somewhere in the middle and it is true enough.

That's a good approach lol. It's often difficult to find the voice that says the opposite of what we believe and it's difficult to build an opinion.

My main source of information is Youtube and my main way of consuming it is to watch / listen on my laptop to the latest videos from the various channels that I subscribe to. I can't remember the last time I read a paper newspaper or magazine; instead, I simply subscribe to their youtube channels.

I usually mix it up.
I follow some trusted traditional media outlets for breaking news, scroll through social media for trending topics, and subscribe to a few newsletters that align with my interest.
Blogs are great for deeper insights, and platforms like Hive add a unique perspective.
I consume most of it online, either on my phone or PC, depending on the time and mood.

I watch traditional news, I do research online and I check social media. It's very hard to trust what you see these days, so it's good to get confirmation from many different sources.

There's so many ways and forms of media now that I struggle to consume everything every single day.

I have my feed reader setup to push all the different news articles from 20-30 news sources to me daily. I also have reddit and Twitter too. I barely watch the news on television any more as everything will have been covered by the time I'm through reading everyday.

I am trying to get more isolated and consume the minimum of new world info. But my cell phone pops up with X notifications, MSN or even local Canadian traditional news or some friend from whatsapp.
When there is something bombastic, I try to investigate many different sources and always try to question dramatic fragments of the news which probably aren't so dramatic at all.

Drama and shock are the key selling points of news nowadays. It's often good to have a bit a deeper look and often things are not exactly how the headline shows them...

I think mostly on Social Media to know about some specific topics and TV News to know about general stuff happening around the world. However in social media we get to know more than what we were searching for at first too lol.

It's so wide the theme for me...
Honestly O use different sources it's YouTube, telegram, Hive, some other unofficial media including even apps of independent journalists.
I don't sure that my subscription will be interesting to other people so I won't put example links.
But for me it's important that information which I read passed fact checking✅
Or I should believe to this information source.

I stopped engaging with traditional news sources several years ago. So I reckon my main source of national and world news is from talking to people. Then I search for more information about anything that interests me.

I also use Upday (a news feed on my Samsung phone) and the home pages of Chrome and Brave browsers. But I'm very selective about going beyond the headlines.
