Where do you get your news
Curious as to where everyone else gets their news from? Both for work and play
For me it is BBC in the super early morning before work, then Bloomberg from when I'm in the office from 8ish. Love Vice for day to day stuff as well.
the zerohedge twitter account...no joke
I have a bunch of sites that I read in conjunction with each other to figure out what's going on:
There are more but these are mostly what I keep up with. It's fun to read the same article on a few of the sites to uncover differences in how things are reported around the world. I used to read some Chinese blogs as well but since I was last in China a lot of them have been shut down in a somewhat mysterious way...
In order from wake up to sleep: -Local TV news. (you've got to know the weather, the rest is rather worthless) -The Daily (NYT) on the way into work. This used to be preceded by DAYB but I can't figure out a way to listen without an anywhere subscription, and they pared me back to a shared terminal. -Bloomberg when I get into work. -The Virtu (Knight/KCG) ETF morning note. this precedes Bloomberg if it is out before I get in. -Ignites, FundFire etc. Various FT industry newsletters.
There are generally some other items during the work-day but they are less consistent.
BBC Africa, ZH, The Economist (its trash), Foreign Affairs (selectively, lot of trash), Finviz news (mainly Reuters, nothing from NYTrash, CNN, Marketwatch), Bloomberg Markets.
Anything mainstream is mind cancer and worthless
RT is great news, pound for pound.
Read through WSJ's Markets and Deals section each morning.
I also subscribe to Matt Levine's Money Stuff on Bloomberg.
Surprised nobody has said Morning Brew so I’ll give it a plug. It’s light, digestible, and lets me know what’s going on at a high level so I can go dig deeper into the stuff that interests me.
Some of the Axios newsletters are good too.
Other than that.. NYT, Economist, WSJ
Mostly a mix of FT, WSJ, and Reuters
Info Wars played at 4x speed
Drudge Youtube (Shapiro, Schiff, etc) Fox WSJ Occasional Zero Hedge
Local news and alphabet soup cable stations at home most weekday mornings.
For work, I like the various StreetAccount news feeds that I've set up - StreetAccount is a Factset product. I skim through them on the way into work. One is the overnight summary and lets me see quickly who is issuing earnings, what macroeconomic releases are getting published, discussions of the markets, etc - helps me anticipate certain requests that will likely come in that day. Another of the SA feeds is Politics of the Market, which gives you a little digest of what the administration is doing in regards to things like NAFTA talks and such - each feed has hyperlinks to full articles when the teaser paragraph isn't enough 411. I also get newsletters that I skim through from Pitchbook, ActivistInsight and TheDeal that are specific to activism, shareholder situations, as well as M&A. I also use Alpha-Sense and set up newsletters for topics like cryptocurrencies, bitcoin, AI and social media.
During the workday, I generally keep WSJ, FT and NYT online versions open for requests as well as to read when there's the occasional lull.
For non-business and for shits n' giggles, I'll usually check out Daily Beast and Juanita Jean's [blog written by a funny and witty Texan who writes about local and national politics]. To stay on top of tech, I like The Verge and Gizmodo.
By the end of the workday, I really don't want to read anything on a screen anymore, news or otherwise, so if I don't have a book with me, I usually listen to pod casts, like The Joe Rogan Experience or Star Talk or surf TED or stream a lecture from The Great Courses or listen to a few episodes of Welcome to Night Vale, the only fictional podcast I listen to. It plays out like "The X-Files" are real and you're listening to their local town community radio - always good for a laugh or two... all hail the glow cloud! :)
Axios is the best news source I've come across that is purely factual, non-partisan, and concise.
Was looking source like Axios, thanks for sharing!
Haven't heard of it, what sort of bias/slant does it have?
Up First by NPR! I listen to like 14 hours of podcasts a day, so everything else is peripheral.
News sources you should be reading every day to prepare for summer intern interviews (Originally Posted: 11/22/2013)
I need to make a super quick post about this. I have been disappointed by the awareness of the general economy, specifically deal flow, while interviewing for first year analysts. Just as an FYI to those of you who don't know, you should read these 3 sources every day:
1.) Zero Hedge's Frontrunning 2.) DealBook Morning Agenda 3.) Sign up for Pitchbook's Daily Newsletter
Taking the 15 minutes to read these sources daily can make the difference between having an intelligent conversation during an interview and blowing it when you tell me that you love investment banking, but can't tell my a single deal you've followed.
Also, I work at a consumer goods focused boutique, so for anyone interested in that sector, you should have reviewed the latest Raymond James Consumer Newsletter and McGladrey’s report via PitchBook.
I would post links, but don't want this to be tagged as spam. If anyone else has some other sources feel free to post those as well.
Dan Primack's Term Sheet is great for deals as well. If you work in VC or TMT, TechCrunch and AllThingsD are must reads.
Honestly, this sounds retarded, but sign up for twitter and start following all the usual sources you can think of and just keep looking around until you get around 100 different sources. I am telling you I am a huge proponent of sourcing interesting reads, news stories and things you'd never think about using it.
Also, Josh Brown's blog The Reformed Broker, normally posts a good compendium of morning reads as well and I find his commentary hilarious.

Seeking Alpha Wall Street Breakfast Must-Know News
John Mauldin's weekly newsletters - always an interesting read, important at the time and easy/quick read, he does one himself (Thoughts from the frontline) and then another one where he cherry picks one or several small articles (Outside the box). There's a third one - Things that make you hmm... by someone else, it's a bit too long for me, but I've never had regret going through that one as well.

What News Sources Do You Pay For? (Originally Posted: 05/14/2018)
Well, with Bloomberg joining the paywall bandwagon, that pretty much renders all top-quality news sources as now being behind a payroll. Seems the news industry will see a nice rebound similar to how streaming has transformed media as people begin picking subscriptions back up.
Now to the topic at hand, what do you subscribe to - FT Barron's Economist
Also use my firm's research and tools at work to follow the news as well as my Twitter account..
FT Bloomberg NYT WSJ
I stick to the WSJ for the most part
Reuters Fin Times WSJ/Bloomberg Economist Politico Intercept Handelsblatt Saudi Gazette Daily China AFP RT ZH BBC The Hill Axios
Scrapped CNN, WaPo and recently NYT as they dynamited the bridges with intellectual integrity.

I was pleasantly surprised where FOX News Ranks.
Guess Business Insider didn't make the cut of being totally useless click-bait. Ouch!
if you believe this, you're an idiot.
WaPo, NYT, CNN, those do not have "minimal partisan bias." that is a blatant lie.
I think reading the economist, guardian, atlantic, and reuters would be a good combo, but just know you're getting bias from everywhere.
while I agree to a certain extent, compared to the Fox News, Breitbart, Huffpo's of the world, CNN and the NYT are far less biased. I wouldn't call it minimal, perhaps moderate partisan bias. I think we also need to distinguish between being biased and completely ignoring/ throwing out facts in favor of your pre-conceived conclusion. CNN/ NYT does this far less (or not at all) compared to some of the sources on the extremes. I personally read Bloomberg, the atlantic, vox, wsj, the nyt, and the economist.
Where do you get most of your stuff?
Not all have the objectivity that you possess in reading and analyzing news.
Most read things like a textbook and believe every single word!
All these agencies are not independent and therefore are pushing some social agenda.
Foreign Affairs, economist, zero hedge, national affairs, Bloomberg capital markets, BBC for africa/me news, Reuters for general news, but have to find direct sources to research and verify, FRED for unadulterated data.
You need to use what's between your ears to analyze the information and make a decision. All the mainstream news is really garbage and superficial.
MAJOR KEY ALERT
Breitbart and Info Wars I try to stay away from biased news sources
Best source for stock news (Originally Posted: 08/20/2018)
Looking for the best online sources of upcoming stock news releases (including earnings reports, etc). Suggestions?

Listening to your News (Originally Posted: 12/21/2012)
Hi Monkeys,
Aspiring bankers and financial services folk always talk about how important it is to stay up on the markets or "well read." I like reading as much as the next man, but I also like to have something to listen to when I'm working.
I am wondering if any of you have suggestions of what to listen to for solid news and information. Free content would be ideal, but I'll take any ideas you have. For example, I listen to the WSJ This Morning Podcast (not very good), the Fast Money Podcast (solid), and Bloomberg Radio's online stream.
Does anyone listen to other stuff?
Happy Holidays!
Google News
The Economist audio version.
Banking Weekly podcast by FT is good. Comes out on a Monday.
News Source with Chrome Addin (Originally Posted: 02/27/2014)

I like how RT's Chrome app works (top right of pic) and they report on a variety of cool shit. But I'm convinced that there's like 3 dudes whose job it is to post Kremlin-biased shit all day in the comments and I'm spending far too much time talking shit to them.
What are some good news sources with an app like that where I can see when news comes out without having to check a site regularly?
To be painfully honest, I'm fucking tired of reading the news
Tired of the passivity. the helplessness, the repetition.
It's time I start making news. You'll head about it soon enough.
RT is owned by the Kremlin.
The whole kit and kaboodle is run by the Russian government: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT_(TV_network)
