How did you find a healthy balance between staying informed and not despairing about the world? in c/[email protected]

I feel you.

I collected competing websites that measure bias, reliability, and fact checking. Then I used them to narrow down my sources to the most reliable and centerline. My collection of sites and info (check the menu for more related resources) https://www.mediabiasmap.com

If you wanted to read about my approach and findings read the about:

Short and sweet summary?

  1. Read one of the news wires for general world and national knowledge (AFP, Reuters, AP, UPI, etc).
  2. Read investigative local news for local stuff.
  3. Read the news 3 times per week (kinda like a scheduled workout). This can help limit the doom scrolling.

Personally I like AP for general awareness, RollCall for US congressional stuff, and my city’s paper for local news.
