If your country or location is missing from this thread, let me know and I'll try to find some news accounts for you!

You can find even more news accounts organised into topics on my website at https://fedi.directory/news-media

@FediFollows do you know what is the deal with flipboard? Interactive or read-only?

[fedifollows@social.growyourown.services]

@tsyum

Flipboard federates in both directions, it is possible to have conversations with the accounts. However, the big media companies tend to just use it as a one-directional feed (which is what they do on social media anyway). Flipboard was originally made as a way to read and discover articles so this makes sense.

But even as a feed it is useful, the links in posts go directly to the actual websites of the media companies.

[tsyum@thepit.social]

@FediFollows I'm going to see if we can find sources from #Mexico and other parts of Latin America, #Spain...
And #Africa is a huge place so hopefully we can get more perspective from across the continent there.

@tsyum

Spain is in the thread by the way:

@FediFollows Just a note for Germany: @derpostillon is no news account, it's a satire website. It's as much news as @theonion

[fedifollows@social.growyourown.services]

@NatureMC

I know, but it does relate to the news Maybe I should have put it at the end of the list or separately or something?

There's a similar satire account on the UK news list with @newsthump

[naturemc@mastodon.online]

@FediFollows The problem is that many people don't understand irony and take such accounts as real accounts (no joke).
Yes, I would separate comedy and satire, it's not journalism/news.

[fedifollows@social.growyourown.services]

@NatureMC

Good point, I've put it at the end of the list and added a satire label

[naturemc@mastodon.online]

@FediFollows Great, thank you for your work and the fine lists!

[szescstopni@circumstances.run]

@NatureMC @FediFollows The edit hasn't yet propagated to my instance

[fedifollows@social.growyourown.services]

@Szescstopni @NatureMC

Weird... it should have done by now? Guess it must be a glitch?
