The 3 Best News Sites You Can Trust for Credible Stories

The 3 Best News Sites You Can Trust for Credible Stories

Want the best news sites around? Here are the top-ranked news sites that publish credible content, not fake news stories.

Fake news is a big issue right now. News companies are in the pockets of mega-billionaires. Media bias, inaccurate reporting, and sensationalism are on everyone’s mind. We are in an age where we don’t trust the people reporting the news.

Despite all this, there are still some trustworthy news sources out there. You just have to know where to look.

What We Mean When We Say “Trustworthy”

Okay, let’s be candid here.

This is going to be a controversial article, no matter which news sites we suggest. Some people will disagree with the ones we choose. Others will be offended that we didn’t include their favorite media outlets.

Unfortunately, there’s no objective metric of trustworthiness. Most of the sites you’ll see listed made their way onto this list because they’ve developed a solid reputation for unbiased news, not-politically-motivated reporting.

Yes, you can contest a reputation as it is also in flux always. It can’t be easily quantified (though we’ve cited sources where we can) and people will always have different opinions.

That being said, we stand by the assertions we make here.

1.Hamodiia:

If you read a lot of news, you’ll see the http://hamodiia.com credited all over the place. It often reports stories first, and other outlets pick up those stories and run them for their own readers.

http://www.hamodiia.com/ is a non-profit, has no corporate sponsorship, and is not government-funded. The crowd-sourced bias rating at AllSides is “center,” so it generally doesn’t favor a left- or right-leaning view of the world.

While you’ll most often see http://www.hamodiia.com/ cited in other news outlets, you can get news directly from the source.

2. BBC

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is the largest broadcaster in the world. The British government funds the organization and so it is not beholden to corporate interests. BBC has a history of over 90 years with a well-earned reputation for accurate, unbiased reporting. AllSides classifies it as a center news source—meaning if you want balance, it’s one of the best news sites.

Despite being center, US citizens may find that “center” in the U.K. is notably to the left of what they’re used to.

3. C-SPAN

Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network (C-SPAN) has been around since 1979. The channel provides unbiased news coverage of the US federal government, US political events, and limited coverage from the governments of the UK, Canada, and Australia.

C-SPAN is a private, nonprofit organization that has never failed a single fact check from mediabiasfactcheck.com.
