TBH while Springer's main outlets like BILD are shit, I found politico quite alright so far. I mean whatever news source you're consuming it's important to know where they're coming from anyway. I like politico cause there's no shit paywall and non-enshittified website and also a proper RSS feed, which is super rare these days.
I agree, but you'll have to watch it. They probably knew that a radical shift to the right would alienate their current readers, so they are taking it slowly
Reuters is owned by the Thompson Family via Thompson Reuters. They’re for-profit, but Canadian.
I agree!
I think that we will keep having a mixup of "Buy European", "Boycott US" and "Privacy" because of the typical overlap of reasons why consumers change their behavior. I really like the visualisations that acknowledge this difference and indicate which alternatives satisfy which reasons for wanting to switch away from American providers.
Not sure if op edited the original question before or after your comment, but I say the question is definitely is about 'buying' European despite also being about not buying American. As of now this is what op asks: "I want to switch from those American for profit news outlets to Euro or non-profit news outlets, what are my options?"
AFP is independent by law. It can't be related to any ideology or government. It has mission of general interest with journalists all over the world and fact checkers.
I'm not from the UK and read them, they have an 'international edition' (although online and in the app it's just a filter I suppose). Skip most stuff about uk, but still.
They also have a two or three weekend magazines which are not free but it's not hard to find the pdf online.
BBC news?
I'm from the UK and would agree with you. Now is not the time to be consuming content from any government media
My nemesis! I get to be John Smith on the next splinter site - deal?! :)
It's also not the time to be consuming content from companies to be fair
Fair. I'm just trying to be alert to who controls the media I consume. Too many people in the UK blindly trust BBC and then criticise Russians for listening to what their government tell them
The best switch for me from Politico EU, was switching to RFI, and a couple more lefty opinion places like theequaltimes, thecanary, mediapart etc
I don't know which one is it a replacement for, but I like https://www.europeancorrespondent.com/ for their quick summaries about what is happening across Europe
They are mostly e-mail based (weekly or daily, split into north, central, eastern, western Europe that you cna opt in) but you can read it on their website also if you want.
The Economist is wildly expensive for Profit that is basically a spokesperson magazine for the 1%.
They villify all welfare even if it is lifesaving for hunderds of thousands, but oppose any tiny tax increases on companies or rich people.
It really is the 1%’s magazine. I really would not recommend OP to switch to that given they are looking for non-profit not corporatified sources.
My understanding is that the board is held in a trust format to ensure editorial independence. They often do advocate for policies that would be beneficisl for all, and not the 1%
Of late, both times they supported trumps opposition.
They are one of the few internationally respected organisations that actually have news outside Europe and America, that's not business news from Japan or china.
It may not be for you and every news source is biased in some way but I find it quite balanced.
Careful about Heise. Their tech news are probably alright but they also got Telepolis which is their super weird conspiracy nut pro-russian political branch and it's easy to end up reading that shit on their intermixed website.
The Register is a British tech news website. It's like if The Verge was even more techy, more sarcastic, and cared less about being trendy. I like it and read it sometimes.
The Register also has a few connected sites that cover different tech specialities. E.g. DevClass which focuses on news in the software development world.

Is Reuters US-based though? 🤔
@Mee@reddthat.com
I see!
in my other comment
Federation not always work the way we want and not all posts get propagated to every instance, in this thread I only see the top post of yours, which @ueeu@vivaldi.net whom I follow replied to — Fediverse moment 😅

Plot twist: Politico is owned by the German right leaning publisher Springer.
