  • Check out the Ground News app. I've been giving it a try on recommendation from a friend, otherwise I just use the same rss feeds I've always used.

    If you're new to news, start with AP, Reuters, and Ars Technica, then add local stuff if you have it (BBC, CBC, Indigenous outlets as applicable, etc) and carry on with sources you like.

    When you say you're getting your news from social media, you're really getting your news via social media. It's still published somewhere, ideally after having been written by a human journalist. What are the sites whose links you like to follow from reddit or mastodon? Subscribe to those.

    And you've got yourself a news app!

  • Yeah, the issue of your having one guy who is the only news source for your area is a big problem that a lot of communities face. At least it'll be easy to follow him wherever he moves, I guess?

    I'm sorry your area is under reported on. It's a very serious issue.

  • Try Ground News to build yourself a list of sources you like to check directly. It's a pretty good aggregator.

    Lack of local reporting has been an issue since long before these new rules. CBC exists, and it's really weird to go directly to CTV for news if you're going to pick only one. That's the thing that plays silently in the dentist's office waiting room with scrolling rage bait and, as you say, cats up trees.
