Apart from HN, twitter or reddit, there are any 5 news source you read everyday? Or at least any week?

I'm asking this because sometimes I feel a little bit overwhelmed with all the news source I have, and would like to crop it down to 5.

drudgereport.com (many times a day)

slashdot.org (though it all seems 3+ days old anymore)

I never went to slashdot, it is still relevant?

gfosco2• 14 years ago

It's still worth visiting, in my opinion..

It's hit or miss. One thing I do like about it is that its commenters include somewhat more non-Valley engineers, people from aerospace companies, petrochemicals, civil engineering, NASA, that kind of thing. Not a large percentage of the commenters, mind you, but there are some good ones now and then. HN probably has a higher percentage of knowledgeable commentators, but they're very skewed towards a certain kind of technology.

Never heard of Drudge Report, and two people just talked about it.

Check different news websites is time consuming. I'm wandering is there any way to quickly browse the news?

dudurocha3• 14 years ago

Maybe the best one is HN.

Get an RSS feed reader and attach it to the websites. It will pull down the headlines and let you read them quickly.

fuzionmonkey• 14 years ago

BBC, NYT, Drudge, Politico, Techcrunch

Drudge, FT, Telegraph, HN, BBC

I'm shocked that so many people get their news from drudge. That website is god awful to navigate, and is most definitely not a place to get unbiased news... I clicked on eight random links, and two of them took me to pages where there were stories complaining about the "liberal media". What a joke.

Can you name a source of unbiased news?

drewrv• 14 years ago

BBC, NPR, and Christian Science Monitor are all pretty good.

Could try www.newsmap.jp or www.newsola.com for an interesting visulization of Google News

news.google.com - skim the headlines every few hours for anything breaking

fivethirtyeight.com - unbiased, non-sensationalist US election news. I got tired of other sources reporting a week to week swing within the margin of error as if it is Earth shattering.

The Economist - subscription to the weekly magazine. Great in depth reporting of pretty much everything from around the world.

csmonitor.com - Christian Science Monitor - despite the name, it's a great fairly unbiased news source. Just avoid their recent descent into "Are you an American? Take our 100 question quiz!"

npr.org - Good reporting staff, love Morning Edition and All Things Considered in the car.
