I've Started a 'News Sites' Links Page. Here's Why.
Local and regional newspapers have been dying at an alarming rate. At the same time, the 2024 election has underscored significant failings in the best of our big newspapers: bothsidesism, clickbait headlines, groupthink and superficial analysis, sexism, casual racism, transphobia, pedantic fact-checking that doesn’t consider substance, uncritical repetition of lies from the temperamental orange guy and those who have sworn fealty to him, sanewashing, interference with editorial decisions by billionaire owners, and so on. While there’s currently no living entirely without such outlets, relying on them exclusively isn’t an option. That’s why I’ve started to gather links to other sources as I run across them. I am sharing these on a page called news sites in a section called lists.
