Independent News Sources Worth Following

If you want news that isn't filtered through corporate ownership, start here:

• ProPublica (nonprofit investigative journalism)

• The Intercept (national security, politics, civil liberties)

• Bellingcat (open source investigations, geopolitics)

• Democracy Now (independent daily news)

• The Lever (money in politics, corporate accountability)

• Ground News (shows you bias and blind spots across outlets)

• Reuters and AP (wire services, less editorial spin)

• Substack journalists who left legacy media to go independent

The less a news outlet depends on advertising and corporate money, the more likely you're getting the real story. Follow the ownership and the funding, that will tell you who they answer to.
