News These Days…

The days of passively perusing a FB feed are over. I get most of my news through email, which definitely takes more work but at least I know the sources. One of the nice things about a news feed was the ability to talk with people about what I’m reading, since we were all reading the same stuff. Here’s what I’m reading, read it too then let’s talk!

All of these sites have free newsletters, unless otherwise noted. They are independently funded without advertisements unless otherwise noted. You may want to make a separate email address just for your news so you don’t overwhelm your regular inbox…I’ll keep the list updated and let me know if I’m missing a good one.

For Everyone

The Intercept (the cutting edge of investigative journalism right now)

Yes! Magazine (heart-warming and eye-opening solution journalism)

The Outline (fun, modern take on longish-form news. I haven’t gotten confirmation from them on their funding, I’ll update here when I have)

Brain Pickings (very long, always relevant analysis of our intellectual ancestors)

White Nonsense Roundup (understand your racial biases, IG/FB)

5 Love Languages (5 easy ideas for showing your affection each week, product sales so they promote their own stuff)

Science

Phys.org (ad funded)

Vox Future Perfect (solutions journalism, slight tech/science focus; funded by Rockefeller Foundation)

EarthSky (what’s going on above us, ads are all over and super annoying but content is great)
