The internet is a wild, wonderful, and amazing tool. But how
can you reliably separate the signal from the noise? What are the truly great
sources of news out there that you should know about? We prepared a list of our
5 favorite sites to catch up on all sorts of news.
Reddit has gained fame lately as the next major player in
the social media world. Last month, the site had over 100 million unique
visitors in over 190 different countries. The site gets its character from
being entirely user-submitted and user-voted. Users can vote links up or down
based on approval and determination of relevance. The advantage of Reddit is
similar to Twitter in that there are no major media companies required to vet
content and act as gatekeeper. This means that users can have access to a great
deal of information regarding breaking news stories.
The Week is a weekly magazine that publishes articles about
all kinds of world news in quick, easy to digest formats. When they cover
political issues, they are sure to include notable quotes from both sides of
the aisle. They feature a great deal of content beyond news, and you can always
keep on top of the news by following their “10 Things You Need to Know Today”
feature.
The Atlantic has been publishing for over 100 years as a
magazine. Its website follows in that tradition, providing extended articles on
various news topics around the world. Its writers are stellar, its analysis
poignant, its coverage broad. There’s a reason it has been in business this
long.
Similarly, the online version of the New York Times provides
the user with a fantastic news experience. All of the paper’s material is
available online with a subscription. Even without a subscription, the user is
afforded a limited amount of free articles every month. Their international
news coverage is basically unparalleled, and they have other high-quality
sections, including Science, Health, and Food & Drink.
Almost the gold standard of internet news, CNN has it down
to a science. If there’s a trending topic or something hot happening in
America, CNN will feature it on its front page. The site faced some scrutiny
last year for incorrectly publishing that the Supreme Court struck down the
Affordable Care Act. However, most of the time, they do their job and they do
it well.
Check out some of these news sources today! You won’t regret
the time you spend learning about the day’s events across the globe.
