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

I would just be careful with the state owned ones.
Sure BBC or RFL isn’t owned by corpos but owned by governments and that means they usually favour the narratives of those with power.

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

Propublica?
Novocirab@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
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.
RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
ProPublica is one of the good guys for sure.
They dig deep on corruption and bring receipts.
Their articles aren’t necessarily fun reads, because they’re thoroughly researched and heavily documented.
They are looking out for us.
