How do you all read news in Internet?

Hi,

How do you all read news in internet? What site?

I used to read all news from smh, nine news, 7news but now they all ask me to subscribe and pay.

I can only read the headlines and when i try to read the full story, it ask me to subscribe and pay.

Please let me know of any sites that i can read the news for free. I would like the australian channels as i would like to know hat is happening in australia than any part of the world.

Using BBC atm.

Thank you

    • Same for me, plus BBC for better worldwide coverage.

      Haha that second link… I was thinking, "Why do I want to read news about Justin?" :P

    • Left wing ABC
      Right wing Fox News

    News.com.au?

    And also, you can copy paste the title of the story from the paid sites into google search box and voila!

      They should have to put inverted commas around the word news, it's little more than an assortment of clickbait and 3 day old reddit stories now.

        "One of the Bachelor’s exes has infiltrated the mansion, and she’s a scarily keen" - Literally the second news story right now. Bloody hell!

    • What is up with that site. It changes the page template every second day.

    • Poor Rupert Murdoch, you are getting egged negged, m8.

    • The main source for their articles is Facebook and Reddit.

    • Lol no, just no.

    Foxnews.com

    "Using BBC atm."

    I highly recommend the Bullshit Broadcasting Corporation.

    Ozbargain Forums, you get to hear the days round up of traffic incidents.

      AMA, I was once in a traffic accident…..

      • In an AMG, by any chance?

  • Don't.

    Everything hits Reddit first.

      Don't go there.

    I pretty much went cold turkey on the 'news' last year, tend to get my info from the alternative media now but even then might only look once or twice a week.

    • breitbart?

  • Au naturale.

    i generally read the news with my eyes most of the time

  • I used to be able to get around the paywall of newspapers like the Adelaide Advertiser or Cairns Post by searching google for the title of the article I want or keywords of, the search and click from Google and it would work.

    Doesn't work anymore.

    Whatever happened to reading in incognito/private mode or clearing cookies/cache?

    Reading commercial news is harmful since you become misinformed about the world.

    It also holds a drug like effect on it's consumers. You're saying what a load of rubbish - cool, stop consuming news for 7 days and get back to me after 3. You probably won't. Like most a cigarette smoker.

    If you must harm yourself then changing your browser identity to Googlebot can bypass some paywalls.

  • Google news - set it up to customise what you want in your news feed.

      Too many paygate sources though. Once you filter them out, you're really left with 75% ABC ultra left wing crap.

  • I don't, it's all crap.

  • I'm pretty busy these days, but found you can sign up for free to a daily news briefing (emailed to you) from the New York Times. It is prepared for an Australian readership, has a good mix of global and national. Works for me :) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/briefing/global-mor…
    here is a sample… https://www.nytimes.com/series/asia-australia-morning-briefi…

  • SMH. You can get around the paywall by just clearing your browser cookies/cache.

    AS for 7 and 9 news, I wouldn't even bother.

  • No one mentioned SBS.

    • +1

      SBS World News as it actually contains news, also much prefer their nightly News on tv. Switching to this made me realise how much we see about Australia really isn't news worthy.

  • Google News app

  • +1

    The Guardian, Australian edition, is a good source.

  • ABC, Guardian, Advertiser on Saturdays.

  • Smh I just use chrome incognito mode and never have to pay.

  • au.news.yahoo.com

  • The intercept

    Not really. "daily news" but generally more informative.

    • +1

      For a more daily version of that, there's Democracy Now.

      • Yep, good call.

  • +3

    Guardian AU, in my opinion, is best current news source (if you're left-leaning), and its free

    • I don't care whether it's left-leaning. What matters is that it's truth-leaning.

  • news.google.com.au

    it aggregates and categorises stuff for you

  • +1

    I get all my news from President Donald Trump. I don't see the need to get it anywhere else given that it's all fake.

  • Brisbane times

  • I only read and watch the finest:

    Sky News
    Daily Telegraph
    The Australian

    Good old Rupie is the most reliable source in Oz !

  • theage.com.au in incognito mode.

  • Whats the news is it something the cool kids do?
