So, like, are there any #new *big* accounts (#NewsSources, #personalities, #SportsTeams, etc.) on #mastodon lately? Admittedly, I've been pretty busy the last two weeks, so my presence has been woefully lacking.

#NewAccounts #BirdsiteRefugees #news #sports #movies #TV

i came back to the world of that poisonous bird because a very critical election process has started in my country and unfortunately there are no local news sources to follow the process on the #mastodon yet... #turkishelections #newssources #politics #turkiye #democracy #etc

Ah, #China lifting their #CovidRestrictions despite it being absolutely rampant there... various, and indeed reliable #NewsSources factually reporting on it. Then you check the #Comments section and, as you can guess... "Stop scare mongering", "#Covid doesn't exist", "It's only the flu", "They forced people to take an untested vaccine", "Did they die WITH Covid or FROM Covid though?", "I'm not taking an untested vaccine and neither are my children", "I had the vaccine and STILL got Covid"....

.... *bangs head on wall*

Do you like to read your news when you login to your favorite social media tool? I do as well. Come along and I’ll share a few of my favorite news focused Mastodon instance accounts. There’s a Google Sheets document you may want to copy or add to, as well. https://www.mguhlin.org/2022/11/curated-newssources-in-fediverse-via.html #TwitterMigration #News #NewsSources

A call for Oklahoma news sources!!

We would like to add to our news page. If you have a source that we don't have listed, let us know.

@TheGibson Among the sources I follow with some regularity:

• National broadcasters: BBC, CBC, ABC (Aust.), DW, NPR, PBS, Aljazeera, PBS News Hour,

• Business sources tend to be fairly complete and dispassionate, if strongly pro-establishment: Financial Times & The Economist. Post-Murdoch WSJ far less so.

• News wires. Solidly centrist. Reuters, AP, UPI, AFP

• Left-ish: The Guardian, Mother Jones. ProPublica, Democracy Now.

• Major Dailies: New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Sydney Morning Herald.

Other city papers are largely only useful for local news.

• Commercial TV broadcasters. CBS strikes me as most reliable. NBC / ABC after. I find CNN fairly low-quality.

Local TV news is almost totally worthless.

• South China Morning Post (SCMP)

I'll occasionally take a peek at the right-wing rags just to see what bias/agenda they're spewing: Fox, WSJ, Breitbart, Sinclair, OANN, RT

I avoid the LW agitprop rags: RawStory, DailyKos, Wonkette, etc.

Keyword search on Twitter (via Nitter) can be useful, though it's very noisy.

For checking on sources / bias: Ad Fontes Media Bias, Media Bias Fact Check, Snopes, and the Wikipedia Reliable Sources pages are all quite useful.
