Simple thread really - where do you get your news? With the credibility issues a lot of mainstream sources have as well as the proliferation of alternative media online many people are turning their backs on regular media for their daily news. But with so much out there it is difficult to know where to go for a reliable news source.
So where do you get your news? I still largely rely on The Age online for my news and supplement that with occasional ABC/SBS TV news. I'll read articles from other sites, I'll read John Pilger and William Blum when a new article comes out about once a month and very rarely will go to InfoWars.com to see what's on there though you have to sift through a lot of rubbish to find anything worthwhile. I also very rarely go to Green Left Weekly but like InfoWars.com it's more to find issues/incidents not reported in mainstream news and then will go elsewhere for the actual info on the situation.
I tried Crikey on a free trial but didn't really go there much and am not really prepared to pay for it considering I didn't find much there.
Another e-newsletter I get which I'll sometimes click through to the articles is FAIR but this is more a critique of media like Media Watch than news.
So where do you get your news? Are there any good sites you can recommend that I can check out? Could be different sources for local, national and global news.
