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

- yzzxy 12y agoIs this site still active? It's hard to tell from article dates.
- MichaelCrawford 12y agoLook at the Diary section. It is damn near impossible to get even very good, well-researched articles posted to the front page. However the diaries are often very good. From time to time a new member shows up, attempts to publish an article, and gets run out of town on a rail by the moderators. I myself spend far more time at K5 than I do at HN.

- strick 12y agoI love the http://nextdraft.com/ http://nextdraft.com/ daily email. Short paragraph summaries of the day's news, funny, and with links if you want to read more.
