HN had a story about ground news a few years ago and particularly the blindspot sounded intriguing. I subscribed and like it so that's what I read daily. It tends to not get much local news though. I also listen to news podcasts while commuting (particularly podcasts by local journalists).
Ask HN: Is there a news source you read everyday? If so, what is it?

#22Hacker News, no joke
Every news article has an obligatory "this doesn't belong on HN" comment, but HN is actually one of the few places where I can find insightful commentary that doesn't usually just devolve along internet tropes or politics.

#23Not every day, but I appreciate the global tech perspective of https://restofworld.org

Most newspaper copy from there anyways and at least they dont bring their own opinion into every articly. In private tab you can read endless articles without an account.

#25Several years ago I signed up for Stratfor and I don't hate it. I feel like I read about stuff there a couple days before everywhere else, and less breathlessly. Of course very little focus on the Domestic US stuff (which is an upside for me.)
I don't read it every day though, just 2-3 times a week.

#26I strive to obtain as world-wide a coverage as possible. Obviously from one side or the other, some of those will be classed as 'propaganda'. But most of the biases tend to cancel out and give a fairly even point of view in the end.
If I read every word in all those sites it would take me hours. But I scan the headlines and read only the pages that catch my interest.

#27My local paper still does a good job of covering a variety of topics fairly and non-partisanly. Albeit it a day late and with paper-thin coverage. However, their staff has been cut so razor thin that most of the articles are from syndication. I read Money Stuff from Matt Levine everyday, if for no other reason than it's a good read. And if you want random, Peter Zeihan has been posting videos daily where he goes into…
+1 to Matt Levine, if you're in tech/law/finance and not reading him daily you're missing out on the conversation (and the fun) I'm also a daily reader of CNBC, and a multiple-times-a-week reader of the New York Times, Politico, and of course Hacker News
I know that they are, like, one of the biggest news sources in the world. But I still think NYT's reporting is underrated and taken for granted. Their coverage is pretty comprehensive, they don't jump on every zeitgeist, their editors hold the line on journalistic integrity, and they still meet the demand to crank out articles as fast as everyone else.
I was hoping WaPo would give them a run for their money, but the divergence in quality is there for anyone looking.

Zeihan is a great read if and only if you also read a wide variety of competing viewpoints to contrast against. He gets some things right but he gets a lot of things wrong too. Like any popular talking head he says what people want to hear, like "China is going to collapse with a decade". But he started saying that 20 years ago.

Aggregated headlines from a variety of websites with a minimalist design.

#30I assume you mean "besides aggregators", so no need to mention HN, Slashdot, Google News, Reddit, etc?
If so, I'm not sure there is any dedicated news site I visit every day, but one that comes pretty close would be wral.com. That's a local news site for my area, and if nothing else, I'm on there to check the weather quite often, so I can plan my bicycling activities for the next few days. Plus they report on all of the general local news that I have at least a mild interest in.
