| 1430694 | 2017-01-14 10:18:00 | As noted frequently around here, daily main stream news sources are rubbish. I've had a quick look around and found National Radio which can be pretty good, but their website is awful. I've had a look at a few blogs, but its hard to get an overall news coverage. Anyone got any gems? |

| 1430699 | 2017-01-14 23:52:00 | I follow similar to KarameaDave, but also Techcrunch, Mashable, Talk Android, Android and Me - but I use news aggregate apps on android phone, so get dozens of daily news items to read. Maybe try Pulse, Flipboard, Feedly, etc. Some apps have default news and types (e.g. Tech news, Political, Entertainment, Science, etc)and many categories. You can also add/customize your own news sites, and other sites/blogs. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1430700 | 2017-01-15 20:24:00 | I stopped reading NZ Herald several years ago when all there was in the Tech section was Chris Barton bagging the broadband roll-out, over and over and over, with nothing but complaints. There was also a bunch of inaccuracies and contradictions I could smell a mile away across many of their tech articles. They also have a tendancy to repeat what they've just said a couple of paragraphs earlier, they have the most atrocious editors reviewing their articles prior to publishing. Stuff website has a rather poor section in the tech-side and you'll often find it's just a copy / paste from some other website. Their articles are regularly bare with little information of substance, almost as though they too rushed to say "Me first, me first". Radio Live, NewsHub, not too bad, but not amazing either. Enough to know about what's affecting the country around me and little else. I follow AndroidPolice for the tech side of things, and otherwise just pop into the front page of reddit maybe once a day. I've found life is better when I'm not spending 2-3 hours a day just reading "news" :) |
