As an English speaker, most easily accessible news sources on the internet are very Americentric. Given the current state of global politics, I want to break out of that bubble.
I have dual American/Italian citizenship, so I’d like to keep up to date with Italian + EU current events. All I can find are the most major national scandals, Prime Ministers talking about Trump, and the results of soccer football matches.
So leggere un po’ di italiano, but not enough yet to read a newspaper. How can I keep up?
I use several sources in the hopes of getting a more complete picture. I sometimes select categories like “Europe” on these sites but here are the ones I have bookmarked and use the most. I try to use mostly reliable sources.
Check BBC. They have pretty cood coverage of global news. Other might be Deutsche Welle, which despite the name is in English.
The best option would be to follow the news in Italian if at all possible. I actively follow the news in four languages and it really helps to show how differently they report on the same events. If you ever wonder why, for example, Sweden, Germany and USA have so different opinions on Palestine vs. Israel, just checking how their respective medias report about it in their own languages makes it clearer.

You can subscribe with for example rss (1)
There actually doesn’t appear to be a way to make a portal into an RSS feed
I once had the Wikipedia current events in my RSS reader, but removed it during a cleanup last year. So there is a way to get it as a feed
I found a third party that did it, but with Wikipedia’s tools there doesn’t seem to be. If you know a way please drop the link.

Are you subscribed to !Europe@feddit.org and, if it’s your cup of tea, !EuropeanFederalists@lemmy.world?
I mean, maybe that’s what you’re complaining about…
My gigantic list of RSS feeds was painstakingly built by going to the Wikipedia article of the list of newspapers and news agencies in each country. That’s a good place to start collecting the sources that interest you.
