Ask HN: What Are Some Good African, Asian, South American News Websites?

#1
I'm constantly looking to build and increase my knowledge of the world, but I realised the 'World' section of many news websites I follow (NYTimes, Wash Post, Guardian, BBC, FT, WSJ etc) do not have a particular large amount of African, Asian, South American news.

What news websites do you guys know/recommend to follow for news in these countries? Language would preferably be in English.

For Asian regional news in English I'd recommend Southern China Morning Post. It's based out of Hong Kong and still independent from the CCP's grasp (for now).

A link might help: https://www.scmp.com

I often stumble across their articles, and often they are quite good. I'd be interested to hear more about their politics and biases so I know better how interpret their coverage. Is there a Western source they would be considered to be aligned with, or are they unique?

Al Jazeera should definitely be on your list for non-Western coverage: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/

Their coverage of the middle-East is likely to be biased by their Qatari ownership, but they cover major world stories neglected by the Western press. More details about their potential bias here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera_controversies_and_c....

Extremely one sided and pro-islamic.
