Ask HN: What other sites do you use to get reliable news?

[britknight]

A quick question for the HN community: how do you get your news?

I usually start the morning with an honest-to-god physical newspaper (gasp) and use the BBC news service during the day, but I've heard a lot about apps like Circa and Economist Espresso and I wanted to know what other people think about getting news in that sort of bite-sized fashion as opposed to reading long-form articles?

To clarify: I'm thinking specifically about non-tech news, like current events, economic/political coverage, editorials, etc. (I think tech news gets pretty well aggregated here).

I love the http://nextdraft.com/ daily email. Short paragraph summaries of the day's news, funny, and with links if you want to read more.

Often:

Reddit (various news subreddits /r/news /r/worldnews + some local)

Sometimes:

New York Times (financials, economy)

News not related to Middle East : Al Jazeera

News not related to Eastern Europe : RT

[notice the pattern...]

Very rarely:

Local news on TV in the evening

The closest newspaper replacement is https://about.flipboard.com/ for me.
