Where I Get My News These Days 3

Where I Get My News These Days 3

By Dennis D. McDonald

I started tracking my online news sources back in 2021 which I then updated in 2023. Having given up on TV and legacy media like The Washington Post as reliable news sources, I’m dependent on what I see online. SInce I work at a computer I can dip into the news throughout the day and try to keep up.

Here’s my current list. I considered dropping NASA but, having been a lifelong fan of aeronautics and the space program, I can’t do that depite their official policy changes such as renaming the Gulf of Mexico. My current list as of October 16, 2025:
