I read a printed newspaper that is delivered daily, but you didn't have that as an option. I love having a curated source of news uncluttered by changing ads and popups, that is not on a screen. In print you also see the smaller stories, and you can see a lot in one glance too, while scanning for the most interesting ones first.

I listen to the news on radio (and news commentary) while I am driving. I am surpised that so few have said this is their main source!

Social media seems to break the news quicker and faster than traditional sources. The news is often unfiltered and raw due to the rise of citizen reporters.

Don't trust social media or (especially) chatbots. Prefer to check reliable media

I use a few media sites (some subscribed) for news and podcasts - primarily Daily Maverick, BBC, Economist and dip into others. Plus some radio news shows mainly through streamed interview highlights (advert free)

The media have been co-opted into deceit & manipulation. TV & Radio are controlled by cANCer & cadres & their "news" is selective = heavily biased sycophantic gossip, not objective or contextualised. Social media are controlled by US tech bros & heavily biased, plus inflict ads & spyware. Chatbots confabulate with unwanted ads & possible spyware. All of these fail verification often. Direct access to websites allows cross-checking & independent assessment for bias = the only way forward to get closer to truth.

Direct & immediate news as they break, no need to await news bulletins. Usually watch news for in depth interviews.

My preferred sources (besides The Outlier, obviously) are Daily Maverick, Al Jazeera, and DW (Deutsche Welle) - in order of general preference. US news I prefer to get from irreverent late night shows (e.g. Jimmy Kimmel, sadly no more Stephen Colbert), and then weigh this against coverage by Al Jazeera and DW. It all boils down to credibility.

social media simply has too much made up news to garner hits. lacks authenticity. not trustworthy

I have an old-fashioned love of text, want to get my news in writing, and at length for proper understanding (not 125 characters). I have no single trusted source; I need to check and verify - for which "social media" is poorly suited and AI far less so. Print, alas, is sadly dying; in any case, the internet if used well offers more diverse sources and better chances to check.

My major source of news is probably newsletters, but that was not an option so I chose websites.

My primary source is news websites/apps, but I also read/watch a lot based on links shared via social media.

Websites are researched, you can see their sources, you get the news you are interested in when you want it. Social media is mostly noise but there are a few places I trust. I don't have a TV, don't listen to the radio as I'm in Portugal, and though I use AI for a lot I don't trust its ability to check sources and not just hallucinate the answer it thinks I want.

News site newsletters for the win. And a cross-section thereof for the different viewpoints. BBC, Associated Press, Daily Maverick, News24, New York Times, Time. Fox News for sheer entertainment.
