Nowadays, most of the news content I consume is via social media/YouTube.

So no traditional medias for you :-)
A bit of everything, although I watch less and less television. I guess mainly for crypto blogs.
I don't remember when I last watched news on tv...
I am trying to get more isolated and consume the minimum of new world info. But my cell phone pops up with X notifications, MSN or even local Canadian traditional news or some friend from whatsapp.
When there is something bombastic, I try to investigate many different sources and always try to question dramatic fragments of the news which probably aren't so dramatic at all.
Drama and shock are the key selling points of news nowadays. It's often good to have a bit a deeper look and often things are not exactly how the headline shows them...
I think mostly on Social Media to know about some specific topics and TV News to know about general stuff happening around the world. However in social media we get to know more than what we were searching for at first too lol.
That's what we commonly call getting more than what we asked for lol. I know what you mean. It's difficult to get only the information that you really want on social media.
The only problem is getting things that you didn't ask for and it's not useful like when you scroll on shorts...
For me, it's a mixture of many places, but mainly it's traditional/mainstream media and X/Twitter.
It's the two sources that I try to avoid most lol.
Mainly through online newspaper and I do still watch the TV news from time to time.
Thanks for sharing!
A combination of social media like x and YouTube, some traditional media, and podcasts.
Cool, thanks for taking part!
Depends on the type of information I am seeking.
You have a bit a different approach than most here :-)
Used to be books too, but lately, at least on my recent interests, they can't keep up with the speed of developments.
I'm not much of a short content consumer, but for news, probably they can be a source too.
I tend to look at social networks a lot, whether it's facebook, instagram, hive, X, threads (meta) in short, all of these are sources of information for me because I've practically silenced a lot of people who only post nonsense and I've bookmarked profiles about technology, cryptocurrencies, positivity and information, so practically all of my networks are focused on good things for me.
The way I see it, you kind of built the feed of your choice :-)
Exactly, that's the good thing about web2, you can set up a profile focused on a particular subject and always be up to date.
I used to like to follow the news on TV, but I do it very rarely for the simple reason that the media only shows news that interests them and is no longer impartial. My main source of information is watching videos by some Youtuber influencers, mainly about economics, finance and nowadays I've abstained from politics.
I quite agree with you. It's rare to find real journalisme that isn't influenced by some other agenda...
Interesting topic! I get notifications of local news stories and football stories from sites I subscribe too. I usually check the BBC site for news, then goto google or X to get more info. Often put BBC and X versions together and imagine somewhere in the middle and it is true enough.
That's a good approach lol. It's often difficult to find the voice that says the opposite of what we believe and it's difficult to build an opinion.
Yeah much of it is seeing with your own eyes as anything can be manipulated!
To stay informed I use different media but in particular the internet but whatever information I look for the main part is finding a reliable source because the source is often more important than the information because there is so much fake news out there
!PIMP
!ALIVE
I often tend to think that the source defines the information or your beliefs are mirrored in the news that you get presented by the algorithms.
Em particular eu tenho inscrições em alguns sites que mandam emails com noticias sobre meu pais, e regularmente tenho contatos em outros países que me informam alguns incidentes e possíveis problemas onde eles moram, todos de confiança, também vejo alguns post aqui na hive.
It's nice to get some news from people who are outside of our own sphere of knowldege.
My main source of information is Youtube and my main way of consuming it is to watch / listen on my laptop to the latest videos from the various channels that I subscribe to. I can't remember the last time I read a paper newspaper or magazine; instead, I simply subscribe to their youtube channels.
!ALIVE
!BBH
Whenever I read the newspaper I tend to get angry and it's not healthy for me lol
I usually mix it up.
I follow some trusted traditional media outlets for breaking news, scroll through social media for trending topics, and subscribe to a few newsletters that align with my interest.
Blogs are great for deeper insights, and platforms like Hive add a unique perspective.
I consume most of it online, either on my phone or PC, depending on the time and mood.

You have a very broad news input that should give you a very large range of news.
I honestly avoid consuming much world news. I don't watch tv or read newspapers. When I want to confirm or read something specific, I just search online or news channels😁
I can totally relate to that. When I have the choice between getting angry reading a newspaper and scrolling through my hive feed, it's the latter that I chose :-)
I would say it's Youtube and Hive for me.
Youtube seems to be a very popular way to get informed.
I watch traditional news, I do research online and I check social media. It's very hard to trust what you see these days, so it's good to get confirmation from many different sources.
I think it's especially in Türkiye since most news have political affiliations...
I consume all type of information from all kinds of sources and I make my own conclusions. I usually watch the TV informative, scroll down on the trending topics of X and read specialised blogs… but mainly I read here on Hive.
When I read things on hive I usually feel much better afterwards than watching the news on traditional media :-)
It depends on the drama level of the day. 🤣🤣
I stick to traditional media mostly. Newspapers and the news on TV. :)
You seem to be part of a minority here ;-)
There's so many ways and forms of media now that I struggle to consume everything every single day.
I have my feed reader setup to push all the different news articles from 20-30 news sources to me daily. I also have reddit and Twitter too. I barely watch the news on television any more as everything will have been covered by the time I'm through reading everyday.
That looks like being bombarded by news day in, day out :-)
Game News - discord
Finance News - youtube/blogs
Local News - traditional media

Thanks for sharing!
It's so wide the theme for me...
Honestly O use different sources it's YouTube, telegram, Hive, some other unofficial media including even apps of independent journalists.
I don't sure that my subscription will be interesting to other people so I won't put example links.
But for me it's important that information which I read passed fact checking✅
Or I should believe to this information source.
It seems that even world leader don't really care whether the facts are true or not. This kind of opens the door for everybody to write whatever lies they want...
Depends on what update 🤔 !ALIVE
Around me: News from the left side of my smartphone home feature.

That's the best. Having somebody doing the job of skimming the news and reporting it to us lol
Yeah, he's always in the crypto world so I'm the one who manages to get him informed of important news around us like tax, traffic, and others 😂. Sometimes we exchange information to keep informed !LOL

My tv consumtion comes down to watching netflix lol
Usually through social media, including Hive. I confess that I’m very specific about the types of topics I’m interested in.
I think it's good to limit the topics otherwise we just get overwhelmed with the quantity of news.
In all kinds of ways but above all with a critical spirit.
That's the most important. I remember my grand father telling me that things were in the newspaper writte black on white and that because of that it was true. This is not the case anymore... Maybe it wasn't ever the case :-)
following people with credibility and experience after confirming by myself what they say
Interesting approach!
google is the main source for any news
crypto, i also read and share articles from coinmarketcap website
politics, i ignore completely, unless someone shares or come across while googling
sports - cricinfo/cricbuzz website
I do read articles that interest me on HIVE
!PIZZA
!BBH
!ALIVE
Totally understand that. Nowadays politics is more circus than anything else...
I stopped engaging with traditional news sources several years ago. So I reckon my main source of national and world news is from talking to people. Then I search for more information about anything that interests me.
I also use Upday (a news feed on my Samsung phone) and the home pages of Chrome and Brave browsers. But I'm very selective about going beyond the headlines.
I also reduced my traditional news input quite drastically. I tend to read the local news in the newspaper when I have a coffee in a restaurant :-)
