  What news organization today isn’t owned by some international goliath?

  Excellent question. Here are the ones I could think of; let’s collect links! (Of course, they all have their flaws.)

  World at large:

  • <please help me out>

  US-focussed:

  • jacobin.com
  • 404media.co
  • democracynow.org
  • NPR, PBS

  Europe in general:

  • Most public broadcasting stations (BBC and the likes of it)

  Germany:

  • nd-aktuell.de
  • jacobin.de
  • kontextwochenzeitung.de (Baden-Württemberg)
  • taz.de
  • jungewelt.de (cum grano salis)**

    404 media is killing it these days, they’ve had a ton of banger articles over the last year.

    Propublica?

      Good question, I’ve heard of but never looked into them. ProPublica seem to get most of their money from a charity created by billionaires, so their funding might come with some significant strings attached, but they do some pretty good journalism, it seems.

    Is the grain of salt with the jungewelt because of its “special viewpoints” of certain topics or do they have ties to a international Goliath?

    • Novocirab@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I meant their special viewpoints by it. Their ownership structure is a co-op (Genossenschaft), so absolutely decent by all I can tell.

  This is a fantastic resource to answer that very question, and I rely on it quite a lot: Media Bias Fact Check

    Media bias fact checkers have their own biases though. Relying on one is like outsourcing your critical thinking to somebody else.

      Not to considered BBC left leaning with their coverage of the Gaza bombings. So yeah.
