I'm not sure if you are asking for sources/apps, but for sources... I was the TL for Google News many years ago, and I had to read/deal with a lot of news sources. There is a lot of poorly researched noise out there, and my advice is to avoid the noise as much as possible, especially if you are already getting the socially relevant bits via HN/Twitter. We did some studies. Slower periodicals (e.g. Economist) provide a lot more value per unit time than the breaking news types (e.g. CNN). The "more news faster" types generally don't make you actually more informed (surveys), and generally more depressed (since they filter for attention grabbing). This could be a multi-hour conversation, but hopefully that helps. |
