Unbiased reporting

One of the challenges we're faced with is finding some sort of reasonable, independent journalism.  

Billionaires and corporate giants own most of the newspapers, tv new stations, and services that allow for consuming content on the internet that is timely and "news worthy" .... 

That leaves us in a position where we're (mostly) unable to find truth in reporting, or at least finding unbiased information.

Of the major news outlets, the NY Times still tends toward balance, but I believe they could do more more, and they are at risk of tipping farther.  And of course NPR still has integrity and does a little thing called "journalism," but they will probably get defunded under the new administration and have to evolve in order to stay solvent.  What that means at this point is mostly unknown.

The alternative is to find some independent journalism and support it.  At the top of my list is the Contrarian, which is run by journalists (including Jen Rubin) who left the big media and are now reporting as a "pro-democracy news outlet."  You can find them here: https://contrarian.substack.com/

And Meadowlark Media, formed by former people at ESPN, delves into sports, culture, and politics, too.  Its about informative entertainment.   https://www.meadowlark-media.com/

I also rather enjoy reading about good in the world, from The Good News Network https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/

But there are plenty of others. I found these two recently, and as far as I can tell they're somewhat independent, and may be worth some time to evaluate. 

• DCReport https://www.dcreport.org/
• WhoWhatWhy https://whowhatwhy.org/

And finally, there is also a site that is collecting some outlets that I haven't explored yet: https://www.trustworthymedia.org/list-of-independent-media/

As always, use your own best judgment to find outlets that work for you.

And of course, if any of you know about any others, please feel free to let me know!
