I’ve been meaning to ask this question: What news sites, blogs, and journalists do you follow for news and current events?
Maybe we’ll set up a repository somewhere for people to reference, that can be updated over time as people and publications become more or less relevant/reliable.

I will second Geopolitical Economy Report (formerly Multipolarista,) especially the YouTube channel, which I think is also available as a podcast. Also First Thought and Breakthrough News, and their YouTube channel. These are great for current events, First Thought as a quick update on a lot of events, Geopolitical Economy Report and Breakthrough News for deeper analysis of specific stories.
For news related specifically to China I use the Dongsheng News Collective, YouTube channel here, as well as Friends of Socialist China.
Shoutout to Multipolarista and First Thought. I also like Democracy Now! for USA🗑️🔥news
Liberation News, Fight Back! News, Workers’ World, MintPress News, Geopolitical Economy Report, CovertAction Magazine, Monthly Review, BreakThrough News.
I’ll add a couple that I’ve only just recently been looking at:
- The Grayzone: https://thegrayzone.com/
- The Geopolitical Economy Report: https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/
Reading the Grayzone 3/4 years ago was instrumental in breaking my orientalist and anti-communist thinking. I know Max Blumenthal has gone a little sideways politically since then, though, which makes me trust it a little less.
Mr. Norton is obviously much more principled, and geopolitical economy/Multipolarista are absolutely incredible sources.
If I am not mistaken, ProleWiki has a page on this but I can’t seem to find it.
It may be useful to add all the websites that isn’t on there yet. I’ve been meaning to create an account but haven’t got round to it yet.
